Can anyone tell me why the iPhone is worthwhile?

As far as I%26#39;m concerned the huge touchscreen will get greasy from being against people%26#39;s faces, fingerprinted from people%26#39;s fingers, it will get scratched from being in women%26#39;s purses/men%26#39;s pockets, and will always get otherwise messed up.



With all the features they have jammed in the battery is sure to be limited, plus they are not allowing third party downloads which is just another move for them to get a strangle hold on your media.



Apple got famous for intuitive controls on the iPod...now a whole family of "i" products later, it seems that the iPhone%26#39;s touch screen is just a gimmick. It would be intuitive to use your fingers, except for all the downsides I mentioned earlier. Other competitors such as the Nokia N800 seem just as good, if not better in many ways.



Why should someone fork out $600 for a product that seems to forget its roots? Rather than innovation and simplicity, the iPhone relies on the Apple name.



Why should anyone buy it?



Answer:

This phone is not for everyone. It is not for someone who says ,"it%26#39;s a phone."



It is for someone who uses every feature on their current phone and wants more (for instance someone who has the motorola SLVR with iTunes, and wishes the camera was better, that it had more storage space etc)



It is for someone who wishes their phone was more Apple friendly (pretty much all phones are PC friendly with regard to internet application. This includes the Motorola SLVR with iTunes)
