From your post, it actually makes the Curve look more useful. Read again what you wrote.
I know, the curve is more useful, I still prefer the iPhone.

/\ /\ Classic case of style over substance. I guess there's alot of that. To each his own.
Wishful thinking, but I doubt it.
Although Apple doesn't specifically say that the battery can't be replaced by users, early examinations of the iPhone's innards confirmed that it would be nearly impossible. IFixIt.com, which conducted one of the first iPhone "tear-downs," noted that the battery is soldered to the device's logic board; a second tear-down by AnandTech.com photographed the battery's leads in a closeup that clearly showed the soldering.

The same reason why you have to send it out instead of taking it to an Apple store.

That'd be nice but then in 400 days Apple would have a huge lot of used iPhones while giving out thousands of new ones.You'd think they would just be swapping out the iPhone instead of unsoldering and resoldering the battery.

They only do that in the 30-day window after purchasing.
After that, all repairs are sent in to Apple regardless of issue. A loaner still costs $29 while it is out.
Service definitely was not in mind in the developement of the iphone.

good for you JohnH59! glad to hear of your success.
-software design akin to artwork.
-Listen to what the market needs
-meet those needs in as simple a way as possible
-make sure that their products just work
as usual, Apple has aimed for, and hit, a major part of the public that just wants a device that works, not one that you have to immediately install VolumeCare, tweak the registry, and go through other hoops to do the things we geeks want
The way iPods and iPhones are built, you can easily destroy the device if you don't know what you're doing. I'd rather have them do it and if they destroy it, it'll be on them. But there's less of a chance.
Sure, I doubt many of us would say popularity is a great measure of what's good. In my view the best phone OS I've used is S60, which is the most popular, but the best desktop OS is OS X, which isn't. I suspect that in making those judgements you'd also pick one that's the most popular and one that's not (although your choices would be different to mine).However, just like a McDonald's burger, popularity does not mean its better.
