it would had crossed 5-6million mark if it was available in the open market @ reasonable price.
i would had purchased one rite away if it was available in the open market for price close to 25k !

Well , no anti-fanboyism for Apple , but u know me quite well on TDF too , m a RIM fanboy
*sigh*
The 3GS is such a lame "upgrade" I don't even know where to begin. Don't get me wrong here: I still love the design and the fluidity of the OS, the way it was a game-changer when it appeared on the market, the sheer style of the device, and the fact that it was from Apple.
BUT what I don't like is:
- Apple dictating the rules; You can't multi-task and that means you can't listen to music while playing a game. I mean c'moon! This is like the Shuffle where they try to teach you that "life is random"; again, the Shuffle is wonderful product design but inherently flawed
- Features which have been around for years being touted as "upgrades" in the OS 3.0; SMS forwarding and MMS anyone?!?!
- How Google's Android with the Cupcake update is soooo much more advanced as an OS and more flexible as well; it has everything that anyone wants while being completely FREE
This is not a hate-Apple thread. I work in the business of brands and I can easily dissect the fact that if Apple did offer everything free and upgraded the iPhone to be compatible with everything and have all the features of a "normal" phone - it would no longer be "cool" or "cult".
The inherent flaws and imperfections coupled with the outstanding design is what builds the brand in an odd way. Damn you Apple.
(I won't be buying it. Picking up a white G1 very soon.)
