reasons to avoid iPhone (heard in news. Not sure if they are correct.).

1) Costly (20K). No value for money.
2) Just 2MP camera. No front camera. Even N73(11-12k) has 3.2 MP cam and
a front vga cam.
3) No video recording.
4) Bluetooth transfer only to the "i" devices from apple. Like, I have
to buy an MacBook if I need to transfer data.
5) Due to reason 4, 16GB memory is useless.
6) Internal battery. I have to contact directly to apple to repair in
any case.
7) Cant copy text from received emails.

Don't remember if there is anything more.

Does these reasons seem better for a common man? :-)

	1. iPhone completely blocks free software. Developers must
pay a tax to  Apple, who becomes the sole authority over what can and
can't be on  everyone's phones.
	
	2.  iPhone endorses and supports Digital Restrictions
Management (DRM)  technology.
	
	3.  iPhone exposes your whereabouts and provides ways for
others to  track you without your knowledge.
	
	4.  iPhone won't play patent- and DRM-free formats like Ogg
Vorbis and  Theora.
	
	 5. iPhone is not the only option. There are better alternatives
on the  horizon that respect your freedom, don't spy on you, play free
media  formats, and let you use free software -- like the
	 FreeRunner (http://www.openmoko.com).
