Noah Kravitz from
www.phonedog.com Gives his usual objective and quality review of the iPhone, Samsumg Instinct and the LG Vu.
I agree with his reasoning and summary at the end of the vid 100%.

He's wrong on a few things, which is why I usually go to CNET or somewhere else to just get the phone facts, then compare and judge for myself.
EVDO isn't theoretically faster, it is.
And the New York Times page always loads to Mobile as default on mobile browsers, it's not that either phone can't do it. That was mentioned in almost every review I have read so far. The iPhone doesn't have that problem since it's running a practically full version of Safari.
As his review states though, the basic differences will be the UI, and that's pretty much the biggest thing going for it for many people.
He is a bit biased (says that he is) since he doesn't mention service provider prices and features, he constantly mentions fixes for the iPhone that aren't out yet even for the 3G, and he doesn't concentrate on features that many would love to have (like GPS which is killer on the Vu and Instinct), while sticking to the features that the iPhone soars in.
He said it himself, when it comes to being a phone, the iPhone lags behind by a lot. But when it comes to being an iPod/computer like phone, the other just suck.
I do agree with him, but as many Mac users have proven, myself included, we tend to forgo standard/feature-full hardware and take cuts and sacrifices to get that sweet Apple UI.
