And yes indeed, the iphoone has a better screen and is more slippery!
My Point is that the Iphone came ready to use right out of the box with most of these such tools AND the iphone does it MUCH better.
For example, the on-screen keyboard (which by the way (before anyone says it again)there is a landscape keyboard version available in the appstore for .99) that's 99 freaking cents! I can buy 20 apps from the appstore for the cost of 1 WM app. (that is if we assume that most people are even paying for thier WM apps vs downloading from .torrent sites)

The GPS for the Omnia isn't unlocked yet (if you live in the US and use Verizon) so good luck with TomTom .
Also, 'Winterface' appears to be a front end to make your Today screen 'look' sort of like an Iphone screen, but drawn in pencil.

After more time playing with the Iphone I realize how Amazing the device is.
What's more amazing though is the number of Applications available in the appstore for free or for .99 cents. NOT JUST GAMES, but business apps too. Exchange on my Iphone works much better than it did on my WM. (IMHO)

Do yourself a favor. before replying to this to tell me how 'customizeable' your WM phone is, why not visit the appstore online just to LOOK at the sheer volume and prices of quality applications being offered for Iphone (that's all I ask).

I said it once and I'll say it again - Having to use a Stylus is FEM. Having to 'hack' your WM device to make it finger-friendly is bush league.

Everyone keeps saying how compatible WM is, when I have first-hand witnessed ALL kinds of incompatibility issues with WM.
Conversely, when I connect my Iphone to download an APP, I can feel pretty confident that it will work.

Let me end on this note, since I switched from WM to the Iphone, I have NEVER been happier with an electronic device in my entire life. How is that for a statement?
