Personally I think the 3GS is a better product. I know a few folk who returned their original iPhone because the headphone jack didn’t allow their headphones to connect, and there were obvious limitations that weren’t addressed until the 3GS
The iPhone was revolutionary no argument. But that doesn’t mean later revs were not better products for their time.

I think you're derive specificity from the data that simply isn't there. That's not a data problem, that's an interpretation problem.
The survey didn't ask about reliability, success, or functionality.
I think the 4 was really where it took off. It’s remembered for the antenna PR mess, but it was the first mix of speed and features that made me and many many colleagues say “this could be better than my BlackBerry.” And it was!
