02 Oct 09 Apple iPhone users: It's all good -- except AT&T

Everyone is supposed to love their iPhones, lest they be branded an Apple hater. But Apple's comeuppance is at hand.

The iPhone scored 83 on a 100-point scale. Android and the Pre tied for second at 77, followed by BlackBerry (73) and Palm's Treo (70).

'...once handset manufacturers (and carriers, through handset manufacturers) have built their own version of Android, they've effectively taken it out of the development stream. Updating it is their responsibility, which they have to choose to uphold. Or not! Who cares? The phones are already sold."
