Personally, I will still dismiss the iPhone as game changer. Historically it will go down as game changer because of the huge following it has, but I still think was "pretty obvious" when all they did was "assemble" different available technologies into a single product. The iPad idea, the tablet, for example, was around already for a long time before the iPad:

I agree the iPhone is easier to use than a Blackberry. But it's not "revolutionary easier". Just "a bit easier", not enough to grant it a game changer status. (For me, at least). :)

It's definitely a matter of opinion. I have an iPhone and a blackberry that I use every day. The blackberry is a company issued phone and the iPhone my personal phone. I end up giving most of my business contacts my personal phone number so I don't have to carry the blackberry with me. In my opinion it just sucks in comparison. That said, it's not the best blackberry they offer. Perhaps other models are more user friendly. The iPhone is essentially a small iPad. The blackberry is a phone with some internet and texting capabilities.
