Re: WOW the iphone is fast!

"1) you can port different UIs to WM, I installed and have tweaked iphonetoday which funny enough runs as smooth as the iphone does, so I can have an Iphone UI if I want. (and it runs is landscape). So I have tianium, or tf3d2, or iphonetoday, and that android UI I saw a thread for looks pretty interesting, can't do that on an iphone.

2) Tethering: Just plug in my phone and hit "phone as modem" and I'm online with a faster network than ATT. I think there's a long process to tether Iphones (correct me if I'm wrong)

3) battery removal - if your iphone runs out fo juice you're SOL, if my diamond does, I can just replace."

1. if I wanted android, i would have bought android.
2. To tether, just plug it in. done =D
3. Batteries are quite expensive, and once the warentee on your iphone is over, you can replace it, ik a guy that does it.

Cheers,

Matt

As for the battery, does he work around a computer? why doesnt he just plug it in? And if you are on a scene, shouldnt you be doing something? Yeah I know how long they can be, we had a fire that took 7 hours one night.
I'm also a rescue/recovery diver and spend a lot of time at the lake.

Re: WOW the iphone is fast!

I believe we have already decided that ATT is crap, I also believe this is true. They charge more than any of the other carriers. But they do this with their BB and winmo phones as well. It costs $30 for data, $15 for texting/mms, and whatever you pay for your original plan. I dont know how much it costs for any of the other services.

Cheers,

Matt
ps it was all from the manufacturer web sites, so they didnt have the data on the plans

Re: WOW the iphone is fast!

I have to say that I am not an iPhone fan. I will always stick to WM over any other. Scalibiltiy is important to me and no other phone can match that.

You are the one who doesnt make any sense. I answered every point in your post, then you edited it after I was gone and added some more, I didnt dodge anything. I dont bother answering some of your questions because they are redundant and have already been answered in previous posts lol. You keep repeating the same message only using different terminology. As far as your question of Vogue vs. iphone, that too has already been answered. Like I posted before, I have the "antiquated Vogue" which repeatedly outperforms the iphones of 2 of the guys I work with. The iphone was available when I purchased the Vogue, so yes I did choose the vogue over the iphone, it was the smart choice. Think what you want of me, but in the end, I'm one of those guys that you have to call to come save your butt when you cant handle it anymore.
