Apple, the first modern such phone,

BZZT. WRONG. Look at the HTC TyTN, or the Motorola A1000, or the Qtek S100. All have all of the features of the iPhone, and predated the iPhone by years. Apple may have made it look pretty to some, but the "first modern such phone" predated the iPhone by several years.

But, being a closed system, like Mac, there is no viruses, no spy-ware, no bad apps to worry about.

BZZT. WRONG. The iOS (meaning iPhone, iPad, iPod devices) have a HUGE security hole where you can ROOT the device by just visiting a website. The entire device is compromised by visiting a malicious website - you can lose everything, have everything copied.

You even knew about this gaping monstrosity of a security hole and still come here peddling your lies about security!

All cell phones have issues when you hold them certain ways which can increase the risk of dropped calls. Apple seems to be worse at dropping calls. It may or may not be due to design issues or the ATT network. The debate continues.

BZZT. WRONG AGAIN. Third strike, you're clearly out of your league here... Even Apple confirmed it's from the design by their offering of rubber bumpers to solve the problem. It's not the fact your hand covers the antenna; it's the fact your hand can TOUCH the bare antenna metal. It's been independently proven by Consumer Reports, Ars Technical, PAConsultants, and many more. BAD DESIGN, not "network issues".

Go spread your lies and FUD somewhere else...

All of the feature? More BS! What have you been smoking? Accelerometers? Nope. Just one feature that the iPhone had at inception that NONE of those phones had. More of you exaggerations.
