I was a Nokia user for a long time...but without being a fanboy, I got to say how awesome the iPhone is. The fact that you can figure out how to do things without instructions is amazing. Hopefully, other companies will follow this model. It's strange to me that Nokia is open and Apple is closed, but developers have created many more applications for Apple than Nokia. Being a big fan of Open Source, it's just an example that usability will always win. As far as the camera on the iPhone 3GS, it's not something right home about. The image is pretty poor. Little control. Bad mic. BUT BUT BUT it is extremely easy to take a video and post it online. So easy. Hopefully, Apple with all their developers and design sense will just set the expectation for how all phones should be, open source included.
