About the only thing that makes any difference there is the battery life, the other stuff is bogus.
I refuse to get an iPhone because I don't need it The work blackberry and my personal phone are sufficient. Perhaps not the right reply on this thread, but here goes ...
I think judgement on necessity is missed by a lot of people. They get excited about the amount of features crammed into the device, but do they really need it? Does it really make a difference if it's 4 megapixel or 5 megapixel camera? In the end, they still lose the resolution when the picture is uploaded on a website.
You see them with a fancy phone, an iPod, an iPhone, MP3 player and a blackberry from work. Functionality overlaps so they are paying monthly fees for same service.
I think mobile devices will develop a lot in the future and they will fade out regular desktops. However I am waiting for real useful functionality, for instance I am waiting to replace my laptop with an iPhone style device ...
Necessity is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in a society where there is a choice to do whatever you want. If some people want to have one iphone, one BB, an iPad and whatever else, good for them!! as long as they can afford it, they are not hurting anybody. Your post sounds more like jealousy than anything else.
If they have the money and they want to have all those toys, why not? they don't hurt you, right? OTOH, they are helping the economy by spending on those toys. If they can, more power to them.

I don't really care what people choose to buy
However I still have the right to choose what I feel important.
You are implicitly judging people when you post something like this. Let them be.
The fact that you decided to post your opinion, it means that you do.
Whatever is important to you, might not be important for somebody else.
