I was very careful to be fair and accurate, based on my years of smartphone experience. I've owned Treos', Blackjack, Moto-Q, Nokia, and HTC smart phones. So from a stricly comparison basis at 7.0 the iPhone gets high marks.

The other brands have been out for some time and are fully debugged. So given that this is Apples first try, I think 7.0 is a very good score for them.

What I did not want to do, is to be biased and rate it higher than was fair. Especially since I'm a true Apple enthusiast and user, with a new MacBook Pro (2nd one) iPod Video, and new Nano, plus past PowerBooks etc. So I tend to be very pro Apple.

Thanks for the feedback.....
