It isn't just about making a 'better' phone, it is about making a simpler way to deal with what you really need a phone to do.
If I have iTunes on Windows or Mac with all my music and podcasts organized, it is obvious that I will need to get a phone that plugs into my computer with one cable and syncs up everything automatically with it. It doesn't really matter what other phones are out there, that trumps everything else for me.* The fact that it does iCal & contacts, photos, movies, etc... is a bonus.
*I don't have an iPhone, but would have to think about it if my current phone dies.
