Because you can't lockup/crash an iphone by just using it out of the box, where as if you take a WinMo phone and start doing dumb stuff to it (deleting files, installing a bazillion programs), it will crash like mofo.

The reason an iphone and android work so well is because it's so restricted, you can't do a whole a lot to **** it up without unlocking it or getting into the programming. At the same time, you can do less, if you unlock an iphone and allow it to multitask, it starts to lag and slow down.

I'm sure this isn't up to date, so there might be some discrepancies.



Yeah....... no thanks.

i would hardly call WP7 android or iphone like. M$ was going for something completeley different as far as the UI and overall OS goes and IMO I think they achieved that.

"here as if you take a WinMo phone and start doing dumb stuff to it, it will crash like mofo."

well yeah thats to be expected sport. doing dumb stuff usually renders unfavorable results in virtually every part of life.

and whats you basis for calling android restrictive? I understand how that can be said about the iphone but for the most part, Android is the wild wild west. Its so unrestricted its almost to a fault.
