The original iPhone had a competitive advantage based on a "real" webkit-based browser, visual voicemail, a large multitouch display, on-screen keyboard with good auto-correction...etc, etc Funny, but most of those were dismissed by naysayers when iPhone was introduced. The capabilities of Mobile Safari were mostly ignored ("I've my Opera Mini/Mobile"), multitouch ("Apple did not invent multitouch!" — and conveniently not mentioning that iPhone had capacitive multitouch), and no physical keyboard was presented as a huge flaw.
