I designed one of the parts that went into it and the phone had way too many flaws,  every 6th model off the assembly line failed to even function. It wasn't/isn't really ready for mass production (Nokia pushed its development phase too hard) and last time I checked the iPhone's functionality was amazing. Burble at apple all you want but you fail to realize how hard it is to actually implement true multi-touch technology into something like a cellphone.
