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

Excellent points. The iPhone is way more intuitive for the average user coming from a regular cell. My Dad is 63 and severely tech challenged and he has no problem with the iPhone but can't begin to use my TP for anything other than calls. It's very funny to watch.
