iPhone is approaching independence from Rim dragging onto Apple's coattail tagging along. People are finally realizing that Rim phones are really dumb, not smart.

The reason why the iPhone is so successful is because of its simplicity not because it is necessarily better. That's Apple's real skill – they know how to be attractive to simple people.

This is an ad company's stats of data traffic of their mobile network. The results could mean endless things – the least of which is what's implied in the headline. For instance maybe companies simply buy more ads from this network that want to advertise on an iphone. You can even see this as a negative for iphone users – iphone has the most ads bothering their users. Speculation? – well no more than the article's premise.

From many smart phones I have used or tried out, the iPhone truly turns to the best of my likings.

There is a untold story here -as iphones are coming out of contract people are not putting them in a drawer with the countless other old phones – they are giving to spouses, and friends to use as phones, selling them on, or removing the chip and giving to children to use as touches

If the phones were so bad – this would not be happening -never knew anyone doing this with their old razors etc

Damn skippy that the people that say the iPhone is crap below Symbian, Android and WinMo handsets are in total denial. These must the same people who believed Creative and Sony were the leaders over the iPod when it came to MP3 players. And they're still calling the iPod crap.

Just like the recent prediction that being able to run Flash on the web will boost every major handset OS over the iPhone OS if Apple doesn't allow it. It appears most of the other handset platform users are barely surfing the internet. All this net traffic for the iPhone just three short years since starting a handset platform. I still can't figure out why these iPhone haters consider the iPhone all hype. People are definitely using them and liking the experience.

I'm not sure that the iPhone can gather as much smartphone market share as Nokia being that there are so many handset companies in the world, but Apple will continue to get plenty of growth for years and that's good. Once Apple frees the iPhone to other carriers in the U.S., iPhone growth will probably grow exponentially.

And still people will be saying that the iPhone is junk and not nearly as useful as some people say it is.

I don't care how crappy the iPhone is being called as long as it sells well and helps Apple's share price go up.

There will always be people nagging, even when iPhone captures 100% market share.

The world evolves, only the strongest and the fittest survive.

In time, iPhone will triumph over Rim.

You can always tell the ostrich's, can't you? There the ones with their heads stuck in the sand and their tailfeathers waving in the breeze.

If the iPhone were as sucky as you all say it is, then why is everyone trying to come up with an "iPhone killer"? Hint: because their heads AREN'T stuck in the sand!

Interesting that Apple web share grows while their market sahre actually dropped in the first quarter. It proves iphone users are bandwidth hogs and as carriers get pressed on maintaining service quality for the rest of their customers, iphone users will eventually have to pay metered rates. Say good-bye to your unlimited data plans.
