And the sheep will flock to the stores to buy the greatest smartphone ever. Personally, it downright bothers me how much hype the iPhone has -- it really isn't that great. It's not bad, but the idea that it is so, unequivocally superior to every phone competing with it is erroneous to the point of frustration. A 4 GB iPhone will exemplify this more -- the lack of user-expandable storage will become a glaring point on this model.

You think $99 is too much for a phone? I paid $675 for mine which is legally unlocked and contract free.

And yes, apps take so much space. I have almost 2 GB on mine.

And yes, Brothers in Arms is a must have app.

And yes, I wish there was a 32 GB version.

And yes, I love my iPhone.
