I’ve been counting my blessings the past week. Despite the apparent number of Apple devotees fawning over the iPhone, so far nobody’s made any attempts to persuade me that it has any vital features my current phone doesn’t also have.

I’ve considered writing about how it seems like a lot of hype for just another cell phone, but Tom Smith has saved me the trouble.

(Note to Apple execs: If you’d like to give me a free phone and a few months of service (3 – 6 seems fair), I’m willing to use it and give people my genuine impressions of the device. That’s a much better deal than you’ll get from most of the celebrities you usually give stuff to.)
