I think the iPhone 4 is awesome, it also sports the kind of crystal clear screen like I talked about in 2001 as becoming possible (IMO a very important factor for gaming). As Apple (and smartphones in general) is now eating significantly into the handheld gaming market, do you think it would be a good idea to equip a PSP2 with full cellphone capabilities? Personally I would love Sony to take this approach and rival Apple's awesome iPhone 4.

As an iPhone owner, it is my most hated piece of technology ever.  It is throughly broken piece of crap.  Of course, the wife loves hers so what do we have .... iPhones.   Sigh.  Come on Dell release your WM7 phone on AT&T.

I'm no Apple lover... but that statement is just not true.

I vowed never to get an iphone, but my wife picked up a 3GS... so after a while of playing with that I picked up the iphone4.0 on its release. 

It is very good at what it does.... what is broken about it?

No it is factually correct.  The main function, as a phone, is horrific.  Dropped calls, random hangups, random, mutes, random dialing all plague the phone.  it is the single worst phone I have owned since the early 90s.  Games are good and email is OK.  But i suspect the WM7 phones will be much better.  Of course, those have the ridulous no multi-tasking so that is a big negative for those as well.
