Wow, do people really believe this "there was no smartphone before the iPhone" bullshit? I owned touchscreen smartphones 5 years before the iPhone ever came out.

And before you say "but the iPhone revolutionised the interface" every smartphone every year brought new improvements to the design. Yes, the iPhone in 2007 had a better interface than my WinMo phone I bought 5 years earlier. THat's what 5 years of improved development and hardware capabilites do for you. It would be like saying a Cor 2 Duo PC is better than a 486, therefore the Core 2 Duo revolutionised computers. Of course new tech is better than old tech (one would hope, anyway)

The iPhone was not the first phone with a larger than 1" screen. It wasn't the first with a colour screen. It wasn't even first with a touchscreen. I should also add that the iPhone 1 couldn't even install apps, whilst every other smartphone could, so it sure as hell wasn't the first to do something other than make calls.

But you just go on comparing the iPhone to a Nokia 3310 and keep believing it was the revolution is was. It makes no-one look stupid but you.
