The iPhone is GSM, just like European phones. I might point out that
additional "features" come at the cost of size, weight, and shorter
battery life. This is why the iPhone does not have 3G, for example. If
you want more features, you need a bigger battery, which makes the
phone thicker and heavier.

hmm, I use a 3G phone and most of my calls are 3G calls. My phone is not
heavy and has a long enough battery life. OK, if I watch 1 hour TV the
battery life goes down.
And: check out the Nokia N-series regarding size and features (they also
come with a GPS built in).

There is nothing innovative about the iPhone except the interface and
external design. Interface means a lot more to most people than they
realize. Consider the Volvo or the BMW. Neither of these auto
manufacturers are particularly innovative; the Japanese usually come
out with new features before they do. Yet, the Volvo and the BMW are
very popular not because they are filled with the latest gadgetry or
have displays the resemble the Ginza district of Tokyo. They are
popular because they are good quality, very comfortable, good
performing autos that hold the road as if they were on rails. But you


true. But so you want to say that the iphone features are mainly
quality? Maybe the iphone has interface advantages; maybe.

could argue that they are five years behind Japan, technologically.

In some ways the iPhone follows a Swedish pattern. Design trumps features.
