> All these “iPhone is doomed” folks had good arguments, the original iPhone was a flawed device
I also did remember the first iPhone being a flop in my country, the pricing was very high but the biggest nail in the coffin was the lack of MMS support (it might sounds strange now but this was basically required for any feature phone)
IIRC, Apple slashed the price after a couple of months due to slow sales.
Their initial price was wrong. The customer were used to pay next to nothing for the device as the device was considered an accessory for the GSM provider. Apple also didn’t have that many Apple Stores, to show people how amazing the device is.

It really took off with the 3GS
