Ok, this is topic I know a little bit about. Here goes...

1. Samsung & BlackBerry browsers? That's not a fair comparison at all! Opera Mobile and Nokia's S60 browser are the clear market leaders (and, yes, both of them render full web pages with JavaScript/AJAX as a thumbnail that you can then zoom in on) See: http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/ and http://www.s60.com/browser/ (btw, the S60 browser is open-source and based on webkit). The iPhone browser is supposed to be very good, but no one's really seen it yet. And it took many years of work for Nokia and Opera to get where they are today (Microsoft still isn't there, and they've really been trying).

2. Touchscreens. If all you want is a touchscreen, you can pick up, say, the LG Prada phone or the Samsung Ultra Smart F700. They both sport full-screen touchscreens like the iPhone. There are others.

3. Mobile fonts: please. Virtually all modern smartphones have nice, antialiased fonts. Take any cheap Windows Mobile phone for example.

4. Big Screens: You can get phones with bigger screens than the iPhone. (But until they invent fold-away screens, they're gonna be bulky)

5. Mobile interfaces suck. Ok, I'll give you this one. But I've got a bonus anti-feature of the iPhone for the YComb audience: The iPhone is bad news for developers! http://www.fiercedeveloper.com/story/editor-s-corner/2007-01-16

I love it when people talk about how you 'won't be able to dial a number without looking at the phone' Who dials numbers on a cell phone? I don't know anyone's number I just pick them out of my stored numbers list. I'm surprised they aren't asking why it doesn't have a rotary interface.
