Again, you're missing the point in order to bash the apple product, but whatever makes you feel better. All of the phones I've bought have been in the $200 range (and I paid full price for my last sprint phone).
I could have also pieced together a cheaper mp3 player with more capacity... but I dont want to piece shit togther, I want the thing to work out of the box. The iPod interface is stupid simple to use and its got great 'aftermarket' support for just about everything you'd want.
Your Helio phone can load google maps, but its still a tiny little screen that makes it incredibly tough to read. If the iPhone does everything it looks like it can do, and the features are as easy/intuitive to use as the iPod, then it looks like a pretty serious peice of hardware, even at $600. If the initial reviews peg the thing as a complete turd, then there's no reason to buy other than to get on the bandwagon.
