no no, what i mean was that the original Iphone had a number of competetors within 6 months that did everything it did, and better. the 3g was the bomb but within 3 months it had a number of competetors that smoked it, 3gs, it was about a month before moto droid came out and destroyed it. the fact that the evo is out before the 4g iphone, imagine the insanity of phones that will be out within a month of you actually getting this phone. each generation of iphone has been bested faster and faster to now the evo (which may or may not be better, there are arguments for both that are valid) is out a month before you can even touch an iphone 4g... i'm just sayin. not to mention the fact that you HAVE to deal with ATT which makes your iphone as effective as an ipod touch in most places.
