Apache/6700 vs. iPhone

[oturn]

First, let me say that I'm a long time lurker and very occasional poster here. My XV6700 is incredibly more useful and stable due to the work of others. I'm currently running Helmi's AKU 3.5 1.0.3. My gratitude and complements to all of you.

Ok, since I'm a gadget/phone nut, I of course had to go out and purchase an iPhone. After checking it out at an AT&T store, I was blown away by the experience. I hacked it to use a pay-as-you go SIM, spent $25 for airtime, setup my XV6700 to forward all calls and SMS to the iPhone, then used it exclusively for a week. Everything works so easily and seamlessly. Browsing is amazing. The screen is stunning. Despite it's MANY shortcoming, it is really an awesome device. You guys need to head to your nearest Apple or AT&T store and hold one for yourself.

Anyway, today my pay-as-you go airtime was all used up, and I switched back to my XV6700, which is what prompted this post. Now all morning long I've had this strong feeling of relief. What do I mean? It's a a strong feeling of relief over how happy I am to be back using a "real phone"

Heh Heh.


Now all we need is for Microsoft to deliver a groundbreaking, next generation mobile OS. We need something with the WOW and design of the iPhone, but with power and versatility of the Windows Mobile OS. Will it ever happen?
