Re: If Sprint & VZW had iPhone, will you switch?

The two main reasons why I would not switch to an iPhone:
1) iPhone size - it does not fit well at all into my daily functioning
2) Lack of a hardware keyboard

There are a number of other reasons (limit in customization, being stuck with the one OS/OS version, lack of functionality with Windows on PC, and more). I won't lie, I like parts of the phone and it has its uses when messing around with friends. I have never owned one or extensively used one, so yea my view is biased. But I am super satisfied with my TP2, so why mess with a good thing?

On another note, a lot of people are saying how iPhones are faster than WinMo/TP2. However, I was with a friend at a bar and we decided to look something up. I had too many drinks to beable to function my phone fast enough so she used her phone (an iPhone) to do it. After awhile of trying we were finding that first her phone was running slow and not opening her browser and then once the browser was open, the connection was so slow. After several minutes of her trying, I finally just pulled out my phone and in about a fourth of the time I was moving along on the net. And actually, now that I think about it that was done back before I had the TP2 and my TP1 was out performing her iPhone. Granted, it could have been a number of other issues causing her phone to go slow (bad reception, something else going on with the phone) but when it was needed on the spot, my phone did better and in the end that is what matters.
