One of the big differences between Windows users and Mac fans is the willingness to fall for hype.
Imagine if Microsoft released a phone. Most Windows users would shrug and get on with things. Even hard core Microsoft fanbois would take any claims until they actually saw and used the things.
On planet Mac, you'd think the iPhone was the greatest piece of technology ever. Reading the blogs and the press reports you wouldn't know this phone hasn't been released. In fact it hasn't got regulatory approval and even it's name isn't certain.
Reading Steve Job's comments at the Macworld keynote, it seems to me the iPhone is purely designed for the US market. A lot of it's features are old hat compared to other phones and what foreign networks offer. Not to mention the corporate features Microsoft offer smartphone users.
I still find it funny that the Macolytes seem to have buried Nokia, Motorola and all the other mobile phone manufacturers on the strength of a prototype.
