There has also been people prattling on about how Nokia sell 1.3 Million phones per day and saying that Apples 1 Million in a weekend is no achievement. (If there where more Apple iphones available they would have sold 2 Million without a doubt. I heard that CPW got 3500 in stock for launch I doubt o2 had much more.
They overlook that Nokia is available in almost every country and also has a huge product range of basic phones - high end phones. Apple has released 1 phone and in it's market (smart phones) it has garnered a huge market share against the market leading rim and ms phones in a short period of time.

Interesting to note that according to one article I read (although I cannot find the link), Windows Mobile increased it's sales last year by the same amount that the iPhone sold in total.
Not that I am saying WM is great. Far from it.

If you overcome the idea that all phones must have video capability (which they don't) and that all phones must be camera phones (which they don't) then when you look at and use the iphone you'll find it is a joy to use.

All smart phones do have cameras and video, however, and this is the market the iPhone is competing in. Most of them have a camera that is better than 2m as well, as well as video calling.
I have to admit, however, that even though my n95 has a superior camera (it's camera is actually superior to my old digicam) and video calling, I'll still be going for an iPhone when my contract is up for renewal.
