If you are referring to the lower end phones that you get for cheap when signing a contract with a service provider, I might agree with you.
I have traveled worldwide with their E-Series phones and they are the best I've ever used - including the iPhone.
A great and trueful post. In many cases people that knock other phone makers and proclaim the iPhone as a real phone live a myopic glass house. Nokia did not get to be number 1, by simply sitting back and letting the world come to them. They will not sit back now. They have 2 new products that will compete directly with the iPhone. Nokia also has the advantage of being a "TRUE" phone manufacture rather than a company that suddenly jumps in the market. If Apple were smart, they would gather a few of Nokia's and even SE's high-end phones and look at their features and add these to the iPhone. Currently the iPhone is more iPod than phone, but then again this is plenty for people that have not had the experience of using higher-end devices.
OK IBM or somebody was working on millipede memory, which was supposed to be 100x faster and 10x denser than current memory storage. That story was like 4 years ago, and where has that gone? All this fantastic new theoretical technology is just that- theoretical or unmanufacturable. I like ideas like this, but chances are it will be eclipsed soon by a more practical solution.
I don't. It will be replaced with something much cooler and be called MacComPro. Did I mention its' casing will be constructed of carbon nanotubes, and the synthetic diamond screen won't be a touch screen, per se, it will be voice controllable, and "near-field sensing"; capable of projecting, as in the film "Minority Report". It also will be the ultraportable 3T brain used in all of our computing needs, wherever they may be. As of 2016, all of Apple's hardware will be retooled to be "dumb terminals" and backup and display systems using Apple's "Rest Area" technology over a FireWire 6400 port or over 808.11z to provide a larger gesture/voice-based input and display for your MCP.

I bet the iPhone won't even exist at that point.
I doubt that.
