There. He pretty much summarize what's wrong with the iPhone.
"I’m personally not a fan of the iPhone; the battery life sucks, it is too bandwidth inefficient and the virtual keyboard is pokey and requires you stay in dictionary words, which is terrible for typing borrowed-words in other languages and swear words in my own language. The iPhone is more of a toy for entertainment value and photo management, but that role is already filled by my Nintendo DSi and my camera."
Also this part, for those not on unlimited data plans (most of the world, I believe):
Blackberry is so bandwidth efficient [...] not exceed the allowance provided by a $25 fixed-rate international data plan. [...] iPhone [...] too bandwidth inefficient
(I think that's the purpose of Opera-mini, very much misunderstood ...)
He pretty much summarized what was wrong with the original 2G iPhone, except for the "requires you to stay in dictionary words" weirdness, which was never an issue to begin with. The point about foreign character sets may be valid, though.
I also have no idea what "bandwidth inefficient" means. If the iPhone uses more bandwidth than most other smartphones, it's because it's actually being used, unlike most other smartphones.
Battery life on the first model wasn't great, but I often run my 3GS for 2-3 days on a charge, which is fine by me. I'm not going to take it to the Moon, am I?
