Add in the need for a tiny pen that was hard to use and easily lost, a bulky design, and eventual battery problems making me replace them more than once a year, not to mention randomly locking up my windows OS when synced (all the mobiles, and all updates), and you have the makings of the most hated devices I ever owned.

Oh, and call quality? I couldn’t use any of the Winmobiles in my own house. My iphone even works in my basement office. And, yes.. I have had to reboot it.. I think twice. In a year.

In many of the cases, I’ve seen, I would probably have “put up and shut up” if it had been a personal device.

Unless I’m very much mistaken, there isn’t a huge amount of corporate use of iPhones yet. This in itself is a good reason why you would expect their rate of return to be significantly lower.
