Did Apple screw up with the iPhone?

When the iPhone launched I wanted one, in fact I lusted after one. I’d been a Blackberry user for some time, and the iPhone looked so much cooler. The problem was it was launched with an exclusive contract with a different airtime provider than the one I had moved to with a great deal of complication – we have 14 phones on a contract.

I checked my contract, and realized I would have to wait a year or so to change back, to avoid paying some big penalties. I was bitterly disappointed.

Then Blackberry launched the Storm. OK it wasn’t an iPhone, but it would keep me going until the day came when I could get the iPhone, which by now had been upgraded. I didn’t really think about it at the time, but the deal with the Storm extended my contract a little more. But by then there was a rumor that Apple were going to make the iPhone available to a number of other airtime providers, so I got excited about the prospect again.

Until yesterday.

When I saw this video about Sony’s new Android device:

I don’t want an iPhone anymore? Do you?
