I didn't say all handsets? Where did I say that?
And 2 points, without wanting to rise too much to your blatent baiting
1) I've only ever seen an advert, and only seen it maybe three times, for the iPhone 3G, yet I already based my opinion on the userbility of the iPhone on the 2G phone a good year or more before they even came out
2) Yes I was in the USA at the time when I first used one, with which I began to base an educated and expirienced impression of it's userbility and features
Furthermore - have you used one? I mean actually used one, as opposed to just playing with it for 5 mins in a phone shop? I have, hence why I claim to have an educated and expirienced opinion on it. As such, IMO, I honestly can say I have not used another handset phone that has an internet browser, nor user interface, as good, again IMO, as that of the iPhones OS, and more importantly to this particular note, it's Safari browser.
Could I get on Paypal with my Nokia N73's web browser? No. Could I on the iPhone? Yes, I have done it. Can I bid on items on ebay with my N73? I did once, but the other 3900 times it failed. Can I do it on the iPhone? Yes, I even put a bid in with 16seconds to go and thus won the item I was bidding on
Has the iPhone (or iTouch for that matter - they both run the same OS and Safari browser) ever failed to open a webpage I've tried to access via Safari? Actually, yes, I once, and only ever once, got the SAFARI CANNOT SHOW THIS PAGE message. Hit Refresh tho and it loaded. Has my Nokia N73 ever done that? Yeah, more times than it actually loads a page
The web browser on my N73 is shite. It's shite compared to the iPhone, and it's shite in it's own standings. I thought it before I used an iPhone/iTouch, and I think it even more after using one.
But this thread was never about iPhones, it was about how surprised I was at how quick I could load full Google image search pages, forums, YouTube vids etc using my phone's 3G connection as it's netpoint
