At least one reason I wont buy one.

It seems that you go from talking about your phone to the iPhone in the second paragraph and I cannot figure out what points you are making go to which device.

It does not compare to the iPod mediawise, it does not have a faster than EDGE connection, and it is not an open platform. I'm not saying it won't sell. Hell, it'll sell like hotcakes! The reason it will become so succesful is the marketing. Apple sure did make that device look hot. It is bound to be like the Sidekick is among teens (which is huge in my area). It is a device marketed towards teens who want to watch little dogs on skateboards using mobile youtube all day :-) Oh, and other teens, too. I had written a nice comment earlier…. where did it go?

It doesn't work very good.) I am not saying the device won't sell. Hell, it'll sell like hotcakes! I guess it maybe just Apple's marketing of it as a jack-of-all-trades that is so attractive tot eh teenage market (like the sidekick. That thing is crazy big in my area), but yeah, the iPhone is nothing in my eyes. Just my 0.02$. The iPhone is nothing of a revolution:
