I'm not really impressed by the iPhone. It simply lacks features a demanding European customer wants. Sure it looks fancy, but N95 or E90 is the way to go.

Why no EU provider wants to sell the iPhone? Because for EU networks, technologically wise, it's a step back. UMTS is the way forward and iPhone doesn't have it. It doesn't have integrated GPS. There will be huge earnings from Mobile Phone Navigation Maps. When you want to download a country's map to the phone, you want it downloaded fast (E90 has HSDPA up to 3.6Mbit/s) not get old while downloading maps with EDGE (cca. 64kbit/s)

iPhone just doesn't deliver.
