Well, okay, it's now a bit cheaper.
However, there are still a couple of glaring omissions in its features specifically in terms of accessibility:
Whereas most blackberry devices are hearing-aid compatible (HAC), iPhone isn't. This simply means that about 20 millions of Americans that are born with (or have acquired) varied degrees of hearing loss throughout their lives are automatically excluded from iPhone's clientele since the phone cannot be used with a hearing aid's microphone (M) or telecoil (T) switches.
iPhone also does not support multiple languages i.e. languages other than English that the phone can be set to display its menus and text in. This also means that iPhone -perhaps inadvertently- excludes e.g. Spanish-speaking audiences from its clientele, unless of course they know to write and read in English.
It's high time that Apple opened its tech doors to the world. As long as it remains "exclusive" and in that sense esoteric to the masses, it may never attain the success and popularity of a Blackberry.
