 I ran across this blurb on Slashdot today, and I have to say I agree wholeheartedly with the writer. After seeing the phones companies like Nokia and Sony-Ericcson release in Europe, and *especially* the crazy hi tech phones available in Japan it seriously begs the question. Why are cellphones in the United States technically a generation or more behind ones available in countries like Japan? Slashdot reports...knapper_tech writes "After seeing the iPhone introduction, I was totally confused by how much excitement it generated in the US. It offered no features I could see beyond my Casio W41CA's capabilities. I had a lot of apprehension towards the idea of a virtual keypad and the bare screen looked like a scratch magnet. Looks aren't enough. Finally, the price is ridiculous. The device is an order of magnitude more expensive than my now year-old Keitai even with a two-year contract. After returning to the US from Japan, I've come to realize the horrible truth behind iPhone's buzz." Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
