Because everyone was screaming their ass off for a 3G model from the  
beginning. And on surveys the number one reason people said they did  
not have an iPhone was the cost. Obviously these are fixes but that  
does not mean the first one has to be a failure for one improve on  
their product quickly.

I'm still curious on what the features are that it needs to make it  
complete in your eyes. The keyboard thing is a matter of preference,  
and we are starting to see the benefit as in 2.0 there are soft  
keyboards for each language, including a feature that will let you  
draw chinese letters on the screen. My only major qualm is copy/paste,  
but my windows smartphone didn't have that either!

But lets not forget the things the iPhone can be that other phones  
don't come close to, like a game platform!
