And the iPhone even includes the option to have the user become overly protective of his purchasing decision despite the numerous lacking features of the iPhone.

Comeon buddy. It is a very shiny, pretty phone. But it ain't perfect. And it certainly isn't the phone to end all phones.

I'm not overly protective of my decision. I can honestly give a sh*t. Really. I'm just trying to be a little entertaining here.
