Steve Jobs announced today that Apple will release an SDK for native apps next February, but it will take measures similar to Nokia's for Symbian 60 regarding digital signatures on these apps.

The K800I is $320-$449 in the US. So your fraction of the cost argument it pretty much bunk. Granted it is unlocked but it doesn't support any of the US frequencies since it is not quad band. I would much rather make a call than surf the web on UMTS. The K800i also doesn't support any of the US UMTS bands so making is pretty useless because it doesn't do EGDE.
I have no idea why anyone would buy a K800i in the US. However, I can use my iPhone all over the world on EDGE/GPRS or Wifi. The K800i is uses less as an internet device in the US.
I have used Opera Mini 3 and 4 beta on a W810i for two months before getting the iPhone and I am never going back.
Can you get email with MS Word, Excel docs and PDF attachments read them? If you get an email with a http link can you click it and have it open opera mini?
Not to mention watching videos on a tiny 2 inch screen or even surfing the web on it. Not to mention the lack of a decent QWERTY keyboard.
Don't get me wrong I like my SonyEricsson W810i but I like the iPhone even more. The K850i looks nice but I won't be getting it even if it has 3G. I just find the iPhone more useable and useful.
I am just trying to point out any phone can be made to look bad in comparison to another depending on what you decide to pick apart.
Enjoy you K800i and I will my iPhone.

I have a Sony Erikson K800i and I had a Nokie 6280 2 years ago. I watch movies in the train and listen to music in the subway. I've installed Opera mini and I don't understand how you can live without internet. There are no free wifi spot where I live, so I NEED 3G. After all, maybe that is why you use the iPhone : abundance of hot spots?
