Well you kind of justified my point:

The iPhone is a crappy phone with crappy battery life and has a crappy camera. None of this is desirable nor unique (O2 XDA kind of nailed all of these in 2002).

Apple however made it successful through marketing.

And don't mention usable mapping after the last week or so :)

It's got a good web browser, good media playback, good apps and games, and good display. The camera isn't crappy either IMO.

on launch the iPhone didn't have a great camera. (Or apps)
