"A year ago, page after page of ink was spilled by prophets of doom fretting about the iPhone and how it would surely not be as good as this or that other phone. Were they right or did the first year of the iPhone live up to its hype?"

Where I live (France), I can have a N95 for €29 with a 2 year phone contract at €9.9 per month with unlimited data.
There is no iPhone for less than €299, subsidized.
Exclusive contracts with one carrier are illegal here. I wonder if that has anything to do with the exhorbitive price of the iPhone, or if the transport cost that much (oil price?).
It looks cool and all, but I'll never buy a phone at €299 that does less than a €29 phone, even if it looks better.
It gets a lot of hype here as well, mainly because of ads and a lot of people buy it simply to look cool. I don't get those people. To me, this is not an overpriced toy that you use to impress the girls, but a trap to ruin the bank account of the fools.
