i bought the 3G when it was released (would have bought the original but it wasn't released here) and have bought every iPhone since. I was the first person within my "
circle" to get one. some of my friends have taken my advice and bought them, some haven't. the ones who did, love it and wouldn't go anywhere else. 2 that went with android regretted it and bought an iphone straight after their contracts ran out. there are a few left behind on android still and i do feel for them

might be slower in spec numbers, but the way it is utilised it performs extremely well.

smaller screen
i will admit that if they increased the screen size too much i wouldn't upgrade. i like being able to have it in my pocket. i don't wanna have to buy a back pack to carry a phone around. the only reason someone could really want a larger screen is to watch videos. i don't normally use my iPhone to watch videos. i have multiple iPads, laptops, desktops, led, lcd and plasma screens in each living room and bedroom of my house for that. i
did however use it for youtube a couple of times as a novelty factor. it was fine. i could see what i was watching and a few extra mm ain't gonna make it any better. phones aren't made for watching feature length movies and shit.

customisation
this did used to be annoying. i used to jailbreak for almost that reason exclusively. these days i dont have winterboard or dreamboard installed for themes. the most customisation i do is five icon dock and fcsb.
sbsettings is the one thing that is missing from a stock iPhone though. but considering a jailbreak fixes that i'm happy. it's no different to an android user needing to root their device in order to install a tweak.
as for fanboyism, i'm probably as much of an apple fanboy as you are an android fanboy. lol.
each to their own though.
