It never fails that people seem to want to compare iPhones to WinMo phones. I personally think that it has to do with what I typically call the "envy factor." The fact is that the iPhone is a great phone and a great platform, for some. Just like WinMo is a great phone and platform for others. But we are in a forum for WinMo phones and I am constantly seeing posts asking if our phones can do this, that or the other thing that iPhones can do.
It just gets on my nerves after awhile. IMO, it's kind of like a guy with a hot blonde wife that sees a cute brunette walk across the street and wishes he could have a little of this and a little of that from the brunette. The way I look at it is that what we have is great and there is no need to keep looking over at the neighbor's yard and desperately looking for a patch of greener grass.
Anyway... sorry for the rant and for injecting myself into your conversation...

Honestly, I'm kinda tired of people always saying they're tired of hearing about the iPhone. Sure, it may not be able to do a lot of things WinMo can do, but it's user-friendly interface and the smoothness in the way everything just works together is certainly something to envy and certainly every phone should try to strive for or exceed. People keep mentioning it for a reason so you will keep hearing it for a long time until someone comes out with the next big thing that will be the standard to beat.
