I agree with you in the comparison side. We must know what we are going to compare to make it right. Almost a year ago I acquired an iPhone and definitely it is a breakthrough device, the whole experience of using it is surprising specially for an average user of mobile phone. Even when it lacks a lot o basic features, you as a costumer don't really care that much for the cut/past missing (I actually care a lot). But I still believe that Apple is using a great strategy for allowing users to update their devices and improve their phones several times. I know that Apple has only 1 model of phone (the old iPhone was discontinued) but I fill that my money is better "invested". Nokia already is doing something like this with N95, but the improvements are not as visible (maybe better communication can repair this one) and besides that, you need to improve the user interface, not only the touch ones. When I use a S60 phone I fill that S60 interface is stuck on time and didn't evolved at all in the last couple of year. Another thing that is annoying is the feeling that your phone is slow and takes a long time to answer a command or to open an application (n95). I'm sure Nokia is working on this improvements and will surprise us in very short time, but until then Apple is the setting the standard for high profile multimedia devices in user interface and experience.
