Re: Anyone have an iPhone or come from one?
I had an iphone
and I sold it fast for a lot of reasons
1. hardware keyboard - it didn't exist
2. copy and paste
3. I can't customize it even with a jailbreak
4. audio/video support formats (TCMPC does a lot better and its free with support of ALL application)
5. No office support and I need office in some way, shape, or form
ultimately, the deal breaker for me is this - the iphone is simple, but its far too simple even for me in that I'm almost stuck with what apple wants me to do with a device. Windows mobile has its flaws, but I am not stuck with regards to what I need to do on the daily basis. If I want an application to watch movies (and not spend time converting the file to apple friendly formats) and still use my office and IM for school and work, I can do that with winmo. I can't do that with the iphone. The battery life is okay, better than my mogul, but when using data intensive applications, battery is out in about 4 hours where my touch pro can chug out about 6 hours on data.
As far as browser is concerned, skyfire is the fastest mobile browser I have seen (barring from opera mini). If you think I am a windows mobile fanboy, in part I am. I truly am. but in the larger scheme of things apple has a good product for I hate to say it but it is a good products for idiots. A person that never held a pocket pc or something but wants what a pocket pc offers in a fashionable light. Stick with windows in essence
