I Don't Hate iPhone, I'm Just Pro-Touch Pro 2!

Unfortunately, I have not done as well as some of you in hiding my capabilities from friends/family. When asked about mobile phone advice or any tech advice for that matter, I always try to take into account the user that I am making recommendations to. I'm diehard Sprint, so I push Sprint because the rates are so great and there are plenty of phone options. When making a recommendation, I simply do my best to point them to the phone that will work best for them. That being said, I regularly acknowledge in these conversations that the iPhone does what it does very well. I can't argue that point, but I can't state that Windows Phones have been doing it for much longer. My challenge to all the ifanboys, what can you're phone do that mine (Touch Pro 2) can't - other than the 100,000 fart apps? The few things an iPhone can do that are unique to it, aren't things I am going to lose sleep over not being able to do.

As a rule, the cult of iPhone only has 1 piece of advice - there is only one phone - and it's the iCLONE. Oh, how I hate being just like everyone else.

Okay, sorry... for the RANT, but isn't everyone entitled a spot on the soapbox periodically.

I might rant in this post i apologize about it ahead of time.
^^ Ditto i HATE the iphone and yes i do. i dislike apple in general. they brand something with a fruit and its price goes up 100 Bucks. i dislike ppl who praise the iphone and ipods.<< i dont even own an ipod i have a zune lol. I knew a bunch of ppl who tried selling me the iphone and showing me useless apps. but i dont like that you spend 500 bucks on a 16 gb phone no removable battery no SD card slot and then spend more money on apps. or jailbreak your phone and get third party apps. what i really dislike is the lack Cut and Paste on the orginal iphones. you needed an app to cut and paste. and they recently released that as a new feature. AWESOME cuz thats standard on anything else. They just give you the same thing over and over again and change it by one small thing and its the new iphone. IE: the ipad does anyone else think its a huge iphone with no phone or flash player. but i mean ok the apps are nice and the iphone is usefull for the apps. but. in terms of freedom i would always go with winmo phones.

P.S correct me if im wrong theres no problem with that

Is there a fix for that? the tp2 seems to do that with opera stock and opera 10 beta 2.

Well said!
Right on spot!

Ok, just about everyone i know and pretty much everyone in my family has one of the 3 iphones. So atfer dropping my touch pro in the toilet, i was pondering if i should get the touch pro 2 or the htc hero. so one of my co-workers over heard me talking to a sprint rep and after i got off the phone he says, man you should get a iphone, its got 1000s of apps and now its got a cam and you can jail break it blah blah blah. so i said ive been a fan of htc and windows mobile for a long time, and i belive that wm is the best os for me. then he gives me the spill about how the iphone is by far the best phone on the market and every other phone company come out with an "iphone killer" but it ends up being another subpar phone. i asked him what can the iphone do that a touch pro 2 cant, or a blackberry for that matter. all he could say was the iphone is worth getting for the apps alone, and no other phone has a server like apple set up for the iphone. i told him everything that i could do with my touch pro, from adding a custom rom and flashing it to another provider, just about everthing i could think of. then i said plus my touch pro had a camera right out of the box and i didnt have to wait 3 gens to be able to send pics. he really didnt say much after that except iphone has 1000s of apps. now i am not bashing the iphone at all, i dont know much about it and the alittle i do know makes it sound like a awsome phone. i just think that if your gonna buy a phone you should research and find out what best meets your needs, and noit buy something because its popular or because of word of mouth.
