Re: Omnia vs. Iphone
I respect your opinion doseman, and as many have said, the iPhone and WinMo phones are very different beasts.
The iPhone is not a smart phone. Let's face it, it will never be a smartphone. The iPhone is a phone and multimedia device. The reason I would buy the iPhone is for the apps, music, and web browsing. If I were wanting something that not only offers multimedia support and applications, I would go with a WinMo Smartphone. The abilities and applications available with WinMo phones are vast. Browsing through the applications I have on my phone now, I have Divx, FM radio, Google maps, Pandora, opera mobile, mobile im, Podcasts, Remote desktop, video editer, and Microsoft Office (view and edit) among many others.
The possibilities of a smartphone are really amazing and I love being able to find really any application for my phone and download it easily. I have edited the registry for wider scroll bars and other aspects to make WinMo more touch friendly so that I could remove my stylus. I find myself using the optical mouse alot more in replacement of the stylus and I am fine with it.
So really all of what I am saying is that you can't compare these phones. They have different strengths and they are for different users. I like the iPhone, but for me, WinMo is a better match for me. I want the ability to connect to my desktop wireless, make my phone an access point, or edit word documents.
I'm glad you found the right phone for you.
