Your calling out Apple and their users for turning a blind eye to the iPhone not having basic capability that other phones have had for almost 10 years?

Your preaching to the Choir my friend. Apple users already know about the issues regarding the devices and No one... Let me repeat "NO ONE" screams
louder than product users regarding apples products and decision
making.

I guess I must not run with the crowd you describe because i
Personally don't know of any iPhone users that act like Apple is being innovative when they do finally get a specific functionality.

But if your disturbed by what you call the ridiculousness and fanboydom then use whatever pleases you, I for one will not be offended by
your decision and I won't call other users out for using any
device of their choice.

Finally re: iPhone's in a corporate environment? My advice is
simple just use another device that suits the corporate
environment. It appears from your comment that Apple
doesn't care and the corporate CEO fanboys (as
you call them) don't either. Go figure. I guess they
been bitten by the innovation bug ......

The point in question that you're ignoring is that I called out Apple and their fans for turning a blind eye to the iPhone not having basic capability that other phones have had for almost 10 years. To add to the ridiculousness and fanboydom, iPhone users act like Apple is being innovative when they do finally get the functionality. That being said, I am also making the point that I prefer that a company make the basics a priority instead of the "superfluous crap" apps that it seems that Apple has done. When you're in a support organization and people are calling my help desk saying "why can't i do this? it's a basic function, figure out a work around" on a daily basis, it supports my point.

Regarding your comment about "no one ever calling the help desk about a bberry", no, I never said that.

HOWEVER, iPhone's in a corporate environment need far more support not only from a user perspective, but from our Chief Security Officer standpoint as well, as Apple hasn't made it a priority to provide business applications that allow us to secure the devices, remotely wipe them if they're lost, push email instead of pull, integrating RSA tokens, etc etc.

Hmmm, I guess I didn't need to do any research after all, go figure.
