J.D. Power says iPhone tops smartphone ratings
Given all the other good publicity the iPhone has been getting, it won't come as any great surprise that the J.D. Power survey released today says:Apple ranks highest among smartphone manufacturers with a score of 791, performing particularly well in ease of operation, operating system, features and physical design. LG (772) and Samsung (759) follow Apple in the rankings.
Other interesting findings are that smartphone users send an average of 17 emails a day, and 82 percent report that they use things like address books and to-do lists to stay better organized.
The survey included 2,648 smartphone users who owned their phone for less than 2 years. In general, smartphone users are increasingly satisfied with their purchase, compared to prior surveys. Users queried listed these attributes they wanted in a smartphone, in order of desirability: ease of operation, operating system, features, physical design and battery function.

The only area the iPhone flopped in was battery, which is ironic as its at the top of the list for battery duration for 2G -and- 3G calls. Only some smartphones with CDMA-based 3G on beat the iPhone with standby and talking because they still use CDMA for calls when CDMA2000 is active. A shortcoming of GSM.
I guess when your phone is really useful it just seems like the battery sucks. I sure know I want it to last longer.
