Bit late, but had to say, I hardly think it deserved gadget of the decade despite what many people think of it. It's slim, lots of apps, touch screen, and nearly everyone wanted one. But its technology was hardly anything to boast about.
It came out without 3g in the first version, my phone had 3g in 2006, it took over a year for the iphone to be released again with it. And igt also took another upgrade just to provide a better quality camera capable of video, besides other features.
It may provide lots of apps, when I looked through the store, I saw a lot of things that are really useful, or you'd hardly use much. Games being a different thing.
The battery could not be removed, the reason for it being a flaw is if it failed, you would have to send the phone back to apple for a free replacement. But if the warranty ran out, apple don't care. You could find someone who can fix it, but that means opening it up, and if not done right could just completely wreck it. With a interchangeable battery you could just buy a new one to replace it, or have two one in use and one ready charged to use after the other runs out.
I only have owned one mobile phone, so I definitely am not giving a biased opinion. The iphone is good in some ways, it combined all that technology into a single device, even though its really just an ipod touch with a phone stuck on and some upgrades later, to me making it more of a gimmick than some real advancement in the technology it makes use of. Maybe its just merely a stepping stone of things to come, but I'm glad I was not brought into the iphone craze.
