>> You fell for the marketing.

I'm only going from my own experience.

Before my current MBP I had a T series ThinkPad - arguably one of the best built laptops. Awesome machine, loved it. There is no comparison in materials or build quality though.

Right now I'm using a borrowed iPhone 2G. Before that a high-end Symbian Nokia. The Nokia worked far better as a "phone". The fit-and-finish of the iPhone is far above.

Not saying the iPhone is ugly. However, you are comparing old non-Apple hardware to new Apple hardware. Technology progresses fast, so after one year, the next generation of phones tends to be much better than the ones before.

Not sure about notebooks - theoretically there should be nice ones, but a lot of vendors seem to screw it up completely.
