"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?"

I think you may radically over-estimate the number of people who buy phones to impress girls, look cool, follow fads, etc. I've known some shallow people, but I don't know anyone *that* shallow. I buy a phone because it works well, is a pleasure (instead of a pain) to interact with, is sturdy, portable, and fits well into my life.
My iPhone fits all that for me. And I think it does for a lot of other people as well.
