That's pretty superficial if you ask me. Message to OP: just get something pretty. You know, something that goes well with your Italian loafers and matching cashmere sweater vest.
And btw, Apple currently has a net worth that is larger than Google and lately, Apple has been out-microsofting Microsoft. I really don't know why Microsoft gets knocked around much. True, they do make inferior products. But, in terms of corporate greed, Apple has been the leader over the last couple of years. In fact, all Bill Gates does recently is sit around and give away his money to schools and tuberculosis research. MS products are still crappy though.
What's wrong with choosing something aesthetically pleasing, and if it goes well with that cashmere sweater all the better.
That doesn't make one a fashion victic or anything although not caring at all does make one a slob.
The net worth of apple is irrelevant, let's not forget apple is in the bussiness of producing tangible products too, in contrast to google, and by and large to microsoft too. Also google has been pacmaning the whole industry lately anything that comes up they buy it, I just don't like to see all this power amassed by someone. And as far as ms is concerned they have been literally pushing their very very bad products down our throats for so long, always in stubborn way, and never ever letting their obsessive ludicrous stronghold on strangling the consumer and innovation.
These are the guys where they supposedly have an open blog for say internet explorer developin team, and I 've personally been there and said, hey how about adding ctrl s functionality like any other program on earth, and saving in the background a webpage so you don't just sit and watch it save for a few seconds while you do nothing, I mean can you stomach this they are what no. 7 revision and they haven't implemented simple kids stuff, a little kid would notice these glaring errors, and they needlessly torture and waste the times of billions of people And you know what they said to, on count two, they said, well we migh think of doint it sometime (background save) and on count one, they said that ctrl s wouldnt make sense because it's by default to save to the original position, i.e. the webserver....can you friggin believe that answer, the've completely disabled a shortcut that is applicable everywhere and they have you labour for the mouse? These quys from top down are just plain slow, slow people full of hang ups, never able to see the big picture, endlessly problematic....so you please, please, I don't even want to hear about ms, no more, enough...
TO THE OP: Buddy, just get the iphone you won't regret it, its a beatiful device, it's so intuitive and it's evolved so well from the gen 1 product, give it some time and you ll learn all the little shortcuts to do things, plus you get all sort of wonderful free and paid apps, that will give you so much functionality, almost always for a a minimal or no fee at all. Plus you ll be entering a tremendous platform, and building on it. I too recently got my iphone, couple of months or so, and although the honeymoon is certainly over, the love is still there, I am just so happy with my purchase.
