Easy to use features are even better. Adam Berger purchased a second iPhone. He figured he'd be in for a long slog manually reentering all his data. But all he had to do was connect the second handset to his PC and let iTunes work its magic. In 30 seconds all his contacts and settings transferred as well as his music, photos, and movies. Everything synced and transferred across painlessly. Ease of use trumps features. Easy to use features are even better. Adam Berger purchased a second iPhone.

Apple will be able to update software and add new features and not have to deal with the accounting issues (or the bad taste in people's mouths for being charged again). So, from a software angle, most of the complaints can easily be chalked up to "wait and see." The hardware? That's different. You won't get a flash for your camera for free. This one really surprised me. I mean, don't you want to take pictures of your drunken friends in that bar? Won't be happening. Better stick to the outdoor daylight shots. You won't be getting HSDPA for free, so keep wandering around hoping to find a WiFi hotspot that'll let you log in without buying a donut, Big Mac, or cup of coffee. There goes the waistline...
