Maybe the hype is over and people are assessing whether iPhone really functions well as a phone. At Bango, we like the iPhone as it's stimulating more people to surf the mobile web. But it's really a gadget for technophiles than the mass market.
OK, so it's got a fantastic user interface, a superb photo viewer and a great music player but the reality is it's a pretty mediocre phone with a poor games console and terrible security. Is this a phone for the mass market?
