>Whereas, of course, the iPhone was brought out as a budget, bottom line phone, marketed at low end consumers, given away by carriers...
Whereas, of course, the Nokia was 40% more expensive -- at $699.
Not to mention that, hw specs aside, it was so last decade, and the inefficient BS OS it had, made it dog slow, unintuitive and unfit for the intertubes.
>Of course, "bulky" will be redefined shortly to mean "less deep, which as everyone knows, is the only metric that matters" - just like the iPhone's aspect ratio was perfect - until the iPhone 5 came out, of course.
Err, what? Bulk is about volume. Unless you have 2D pockets, the Nokia being smaller in the other 2 dimensions doesn't mean shit. Just look at the thing in the video:
So, yes, it had a better camera (since Nokia mostly slapped on a huge-ass compact camera lens on it), and it had 3G (since Nokia could not care less about battery life with 3G on).

Also look at the UI. Is this supposed to be a joke?
