Hmm that's just one member on the site, I wouldn't judge the whole site on him
Basically I think he's just out for a moan, maybe having a mid-life crisis or something and going on about the good old times.
Sure your phone can last you 10 years, my nokia 3330 lasted me years and I would still use it now, but if new and exciting technology is made available then why not go for it.
Just because this guy would rather carry around his brick phone which runs on batteries, his iPod shuffle (hate those things) and his ancient laptop doesn't mean everyone does. The iPhone can do all the things that he can with that equipment.
Anyway I'm looking forward to the iPhone, I have always been tempted to buy an iPod but I just love my Archos's so much for their video and the iPhone has one built in! And as for my current phone I just got my mates unlocked when he got a new one on his contract so I use it pay & go
