@Fammy: Heavy in relation to what? I can understand if you were calling a 6lb laptop heavy because carrying around a gadget like that for any period of time is a pain, but to call a smartphone, which is essentially a mini-computer in your pocket, heavy is outrageous. Battery life is definitely pathetic, I agree. I’m a ridiculously heavy smartphone user, and I can drain the battery out in less than 6 hours, sometimes earlier depending on my schedule, but I can also plug it in and the device is fully recharged in an hour or so. With the amount of benefits it offers, I can live with carrying a charger with me and plugging it in anytime I get a chance. Of course I have access to my laptop for a good majority of the day, so I’m not completely dependent on the phone.

People get so excited and spend so much money on them because of their value proposition. They are not just tools for business executives anymore. They let you entertain yourself (movies, music and games) and work hand-in-hand simultaneously (email, phone calls etc.). Not to mention they are great for spontaneous plans for things like movie timings, restaurant reviews, destinations to see, directions etc. You know, a few years ago, there was no way I could go on a vacation without my laptop, but today, I can actually see myself leaving behind my laptop and exclusively using my phone for everything that I need while on vacation. You’d be nuts not to fall in love with mobile technology.

@Gundeep Hora

All smart phones are heavy, and battery life is pathetic.
How can people spend that amount of money on them is beyond me.

@Fammy: You think the iPhone 3GS or the Nexus One are heavy devices? Seriously? There’s no reason not to buy either one because of weight. This is the first time I’m hearing anyone not buying latest mobile technology because they are too heavy. I don’t know how the battery life is related to weight. I doubt it is. If anything, I’d much rather have my phones be heavy because they feel rock solid in my hand and not cheap plastic that will break any second.

Both (iphone and nexus) are heavy (130g +) phones. Once they manage to make the weight go bellow the 100g and battery life last a lot longer I will consider it for daily usage. Right now, they don’t make a much sense to me. Kids might like it though.

@Bobbo: I wouldn’t say the ABC article was a joke. Yes, you’re right about Android to an extent. However, keep in mind that companies that are behind Android are getting worried. Android will start to become an everyday OS if Google isn’t careful with distribution and making sure Android plays nice with all handsets. It’s all about controlling the experience. Apple does it, maybe to the point of overdoing it at times, but it has paid off for them. Everything is tied to delivering user experience. Google is trying to take a fragmented Web approach to their OS and user experience will suffer long-term.

That ABC article was laughable at best, it’s crazy how the iSheep go nuts everytime their princess phone gets one-upped. The uniformed and terminally stupid just don’t get it. The Nexus One is not an iPhone killer, neither is the Droid, the G1, the myTouch, the HTC Hero, etc. Android is the iPhone killer. Google is going to steamroll Apple the same way Microsoft did in the 80’s. The iPhone will be a niche player, always hanging on to its fanboys. But the public will go to Android and it’s plethora of phones. Google is too fast, too smart and too cutting edge for a one man show like Apple. Sorry kids, the end is coming.
