1) to suggest that the iphone isn't a smartphone is naive - if you can recieve email, check your calendar, and manage your contacts you are dubbed "SMARTPHONE", all other discussion above is pointing out the differences between devices... and as software moves away from Microsoft bloatware .net crap to true integrated web services in a browser the iphone will continue to be more business relevant.
