Web Browser of the iPhone clearly beats anything WM has at the moment. However, the data network of the Touch is faster. You can debate this with anecdotal evidence all you want that "it seems as fast" but there is actual hard number facts here. Once again, both phones have an advantage the other doesn't have. Hardly "trouncing"

Text messaging is something I actually commenting on being better on the iPhone. I would gladly debate whether the phone dialer is "better" than the touch. I don't really see either of them as really "better" than the other. hardly "trouncing"

Screen Resolution, touch screen, and video play back again are things I did mention.

Its funny, you mention some things that are obviously better about the iPhone than the touch, namely ones I already stated, but fail to address the parts of the Touch I've stated is better than the iPhone.

The iPhone is a GREAT device, it really is. So is the Touch. They both have their benifits, they both have their faults. Neither does everything perfectly, and the gap is not nearly as wide as your fanboyism is trying to make it. Its all about what you're wanting to use it for.

So please. Tell me how the iPhone "trounces" the Touch in the ability to customize? What about PIM oppertunities? Third party apps? Size of the device? Bluetooth support? Word and Excel editing?

Personally, I like the iPhone better, and would likely go to it if they further upgrade it if I didn't have an amazing Sprint plan. That said the difference between the two is more like having to "settle" for a mustang when you wanted a corvette...where as you make it out that Touch users are getting a taurus in comparison
Well said case closed!
