Comments on: A method to the iPhone madness?

Love it or hate it, the frenzy around Apple's iPhone is forcing consumers to think about what they want from a mobile device.

Iphone coverage

While the EDGE network is not as fast the coverage for 3 G is limited to a few areas. The real problem is EVDO network is better but not available.

It doesn't need everything...

It just needs the right ones..

at least 3 things on the list mentioned are worthwhile.

If you "have a full browser" and can view pages in their native format, having support for one of net's most common plugins should be a no-brainer

A smart phone with no voice dialing or voice command capabilities (my most used feature on my phone) to offset the fact that there is no other way to operate the device without looking at it, --as more and more cities ban the use of cell phones while driving, is a bit silly.

and lastly, not supporting any headset, or headphones without an adapter is also ridiculous and elitist.

I doubt those features would have adversely affect the size or weight of the phone.
