Virginia Hefferernan wrote an article in the April 3, 2009 issue of NY Times Magazine titles "I hate my iPhone." In the article, she does through the various emotions she experienced when she got her iPhone, the first time she used it, the first time she typed on it. She talks about how underwhelmed and annoyed she is by the phone. She talks about how she finds all of the things avid Apple people loves to be annoying. She says "Apple created something to get ahead of the game, offering something cuter, funner and more Appley than anyone else." She then took the iPhone back and got a new BlackBerry.
I wonder if this very public revolt against Apple will affect their iPhone sales. You always here this and that from random iPhone users who are not head-over-heels in love with their phone, but this is a detailed description of her experience with the phone and an explanation of why she dislikes it so much. It will be interesting to follow the back-lash of her article.
