It had a clearly superior capacitive screen with glass when competitors were still doing shitty resistive screens with plastic... or worse small screens and buttons. It looked great and worked ok. The rest could be ignored due to that. It wasn't benefit of the doubt, it was a clearly superior product that competitors took years to catch up to some extent.
