What a minute there. Don't get too hot under the collar. Reread his posts. He was refering to himself: as in he's read the forums for over a year and didn't feel fit to post unless HE felt he was needed to do so. Thats all - at least how I read it.

However, I somewhat agree with him to an extent. I too am getting sick of the iPhone being compared to every other phone; when really only the motion-sensor is innovative. The touch sensitivity is evolutionary, not revolutionary (I've given it a 2 day try from a friend whom imported it). Furthermore the ear-piece proximity sensor (should be a patent by Apple) is not new. A very OLD Ericsson phone (R520m) had this very same technology over 5yrs ago!

Back on topic!

Question, does anyone have the "UN-touched" photos - the original engadget posted - and full length video of all the 9000 menu's that was posted? I'm curious to see what the other icons were for.
