The iPhone's browser is not the entire story here. Understand that as a web site developer, in order to build a site that supoprt the iPhone's screen and resolution, all a developer needed to do was change the stylesheet (simplifying, but really, its that simple). For the IT, supporting a more finger-friendly Internet would go a long way towards Nokia's vision of a mobile device in this size and ability class.

Another key note: ATT users had to purchase the iPhone with an unlimited data plan. This means that users had more incentive to use the mobile internet anywhere, not just teatherd and not just at a hotspot. The iPhone showed that the INternet when you can have it anytime is very accessible, and very wanted.

Combined with the CSS/site recommendations from Apple, the lack of official native applications - making web apps the place to go - this give the iPHone a distinct advantage that NOkia would be well to play into in the next editions of the IT. Sure, they couldn't; but then people would pander that iPHone users just don't know enought and drunk too much kool-aid
