The interesting part of these trends is for people like me who aren't in the "iPhone class". It used to be my options for a phone I could justify paying for were: garbage, or garbage. Now I can actually have a usable phone that can do the things I want it do without "daily annoyance" (and I sure do know what daily annoyance from a phone is!). Yes, it's not magically perfect. A coworker made fun of me because I have to dial in to a talking computer to listen to voice mail, for example. But how often do most people get a voice mail anyways? I can text, pictures, email, web and use basic apps, which is all I really need or want to do on such a small screen anyways. So I'm very excited and happy with the improvements in the low-end phone line.
