I won't deny that iPhone has some advantages, but that doesn't make it wholly superior to WinMo. Here's a great example that works for both consumers and professionals for a good way to demonstrate some of WinMo's benefits.
Turn each phone on. What can you see?
iPhone (no matter what you install):
-Time on small clock with date underneath
-Some picture that you choose
-A slider
(So with a quick glance you get a clock)
WinMo (With Pocket Shield):
-Quick flash of the clock as phone unlocks and switches to homescreen
-Big clock that's aesthetically pleasing
-Current location and associated weather including today's high and low
-Today's date
-Upcoming appointments
-Number of unread emails
We haven't even had a chance to get into the speed of the phones, the mulitasking ability or disability, or specfic apps. Does this mean WinMo is wholly better now? No, not necessarily, but I've already given you a pretty simple scenario in which in wins hands down, there are more where it came from.

Another clueless soul. My iphone lockscreen has the weather (7 day forecast at that), appointments and ALL of my app notifications on the homescreen...including received emails and texts. I wish you people would stop embarassing yourselves and actually do some research on exactly what can be done to customize these phones. And do you see a slider? Give it up....and on top of that my weather updates every minute WITHOUT killing my battery.. not every hour, 2 hours or 3 hours.
Now if you want to talk about winning hands down scenarios lets talk about multi-touch, screen response, speed of the phone, app development, app function, gaming, music(ipod, no need to even argue this one), video, app interfaces and least likely to crash after you put a TON of necessary tweaks in it just to get it to function like other phones do out of the box. You're talking like I dont have both a tp2 and an iphone and dont see the advantages and disadvantages of both on a daily. I've said once, the only benefits the tp2 has is the ability to flash custom roms (which I really couldnt care less about) and microsoft office mobile... which I NEVER use. I'll even give you the keyboard even though I never use the hard keyboard. Aside from that, nothing.
Took new phones to make me realize it but as far as OS go winmo is in last place to me. Even palm did a better job with the pre.. would have jumped on that long ago if the screen wasnt so small.
