11. Cry in a corner after realising you’ve spent at least £900 on a phone with specs that weren’t even cutting edge 2 years ago.
12. Plan to shoot a video about how great it is then cry again at it’s non existant video functionality.
13. Play with safari, very, very slowly. Cry that your kid brothers ‘crappy’ nokia is faster at surfing the web.

my monday morning read of all the new iphone stuff was basically very negative while everyone is more than happy to admit its "cool" seems people want more than cool

As to why, I'm sure everyone knows, but here's a recap as to why it's not the saviour of the UK's mobile industry;
1. We're used to either paying for the phone, or the contract, but not both;
2. We're used to accessing mobile internet on 3G, which was rolled out wider and earlier here than across the USA;
3. There have been several competing devices launched recently, which appeal to a range of demographics; for example, techies will like the N95 while fashion victims will like the Prada wotsit;
4. It's quite chunky as phones go - which might sound pernickerty but the market here is very much geared towards fashionable, neat phones (for example, no manufacturer would dare launch a phone with an aerial here within the last few years as they look so dated, while I hear they're still available in the US).
