Samsung SCH-S250 October 2004 5 megapixel
Samsung SGH-F480 Tocco - 2008
Samsung W480 & G800 - 5 megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom
Samsung have several 8mpix camera phones out now.
Nokia N95 8Gb cured the jpeg compression problem as did later firmwares on the N95
Sony C905 8mpix camera phone 2008

I could continue but I think that point is made...

How about the ability to sync and share files with multiple computers?
How about if you have to format your computer then connect your iphone? 'Do you wish to establish a new partnership - your phone will be wiped and then resynced'

Wifi sync is useful, as is one feature of the blackberry I have - Wireless music sync, When I access my blackberry's music player it can list the music I have on the main computer, if I select something it downloads it from the main computer over wifi and adds it to it's music library, I can also retrieve music from it.
Storage - the USB hard drive capability is handy, I can put files and documents on there then if I need them elsewhere I have them with me.

And yes, people DO say 'the iphone is the best phone' which is why I was asking WHY they describe them as such, I don't have an axe to grind with them, I'm just saying with it's limitations which Apple have put into place with it, WHY do they say it's the best?
If yours does exactly what you need then good for you, I have no issue with that, but whenever the question is asked 'What phone should I get next' the answer from some people invariably is 'iPhone, it's the best' and I am looking for definitive reasons WHY that should be the case.
