Re: Disgusted by iPhone users reviewing the TP with bias on CNET

OK, after dealing with this thread multiple times its over. iPhone vs WM discussions can go on ALL YEAR, if you want it to. I've used both EXTENSIVELY, and here are my thoughts on it:

-iPhone is BY FAR easier to use. CNET doesn't consider a phone owner a 'power user,' so the simplicity goes a long way with them.
-Someone said the iphone having less RAM is OK because the OS is optimized. Which is far from the truth, the OS doesn't multitask properly (just ask Palringo) therefore a ton of RAM isn't necessary. Safari still crashes when you work it enough.
-Sure the iPhone does half of what a WM phone can do. But it does all of those things amazingly well and very easily. Don't get defensive now, the iPhone isn't for everybody but neither is Windows Mobile. That's a fact, not an opinion.
-WM6 became 6.1, and now 6.5 pretty quickly. They know their OS has flaws, why can't we?

This thread has done a lot of good for US TP owners, and its quite evident by the responses on CNET. But unflushable, you keep bringing up the iPhone when you don't have to- the rating is horribly low regardless of the reason, the point is how low they rate the Pro, not how high they rate the iPhone.
