I think saying that the iPhone is the most technologically advanced phone is hard to argue. Phones with 2 or fewer buttons have been around for 4 years (think oGrigio for one example), although one could say that the iPhone is easier on the eyes than those. The Prada phone by LG (designed by Prada) was introduced significantly before the iPhone. Thus, I would argue that the only advantages the iPhone has over other phones scheduled to be released this summer/fall (Samsung F700, Nokia E92 *amazing*, SE W960) is that it has a Unix-based OS and a multitouch screen. There are phones, however that support Linux and can pretty much behave identically to the iPhone. According to specs, the E92 is the most advanced phone for this generation.
