I agree with the previous posters that said sell the 3gs 32gb and buy a TP2 if you want but to say a TP2 doesn't compare to an iphone 2g or 3g is an ignorant statement. IMO
Most people have issues because they need a "dumb" smartphone like the iphone and the TP2 or any other WinMo device for that matter is too far over their head. You can pretty much do anything with WinMo that you can do with a pc it's just smaller.
You do know that the iPhone 3G can run ios4 right? It's the same software as the iPhone 4.

Software is the tp2's biggest downfall. To call my statement ignorant is laughable.

Re: iPhone 3GS for TP2??

When people are debating between 2 phones, and the iphone is one of them, why do people always compare apps??

The iPhone is a smartphone..Bottom line.It does cool shit, but in the end, it's still a phone.

Then theres the TP2. Computer?? Thats what I thought as well..lol

The TP2 beats the iPhone on soooo many levels it's not even funny. In regards for the apps...screw your apps..lol..we have applications..There the big brother to the iphones "apps"...lol

Anyway, I am getting a white iPhone 4, ut that is only because I'm gonna put it on ebay and make maybe x3 my money when I sell it. I just like the TP2.

I will say tho, the iPhone has the best keyboard I have ever used on any phone.

I think I'll just put it like Steve Jobs said:
"You're doing it Wrong!"
People mostly have issues with WinMo because of Operator Error. So...ignorance.

If the tp2 is a computer, it's outdated as hell. It's my primary phone ffs. I have used it for almost a year now. Aside from the big screen, it's no better than my old q9c.

To keep my phone reliable, I have to set cleanram to do a soft reset every morning, otherwise it becomes very slow.

I understand that the iPhone is a tightly controlled proprietary system. That doesn't mean th tp2 is a better device. Dont even bring up operator error excuse. I am a software developer specializing in the latest ms frameworks by tradeand did tech support for years before becoming a developer.

You might say user error to a noob, but that's just wishful thinking.

Re: iPhone 3GS for TP2??

Like I said before its going to be a matter of what it is your looking for a phone. both have pros and cons. The iphone is nice if you just want something that works good out of the box and cool apps. the tp2 needs some tinkering and customization to get it the way you like it. People on these boards, myself included, enjoy customizing and messing with tweaks. Some can be overwhelming but with some research its pretty fun. It'll always be iphone vs etc. For me personally, the iphone is pretty boring. Even jailbroken your still limited to customization (Example: home screen layout) I have an Ipod touch 32g jailbroken and that suits my needs for what it is/does. Again its all about personal preference.

Re: iPhone 3GS for TP2??

I can understand if ppl dont like the iphone but why hate it? It may not be a very open OS but in terms of stability and smoothness iOS completely dominates WinMo. If u dont like the cage of the iPhone but at the same time u dont wanna have to troubleshoot your phone the majority of the day, (Ask any WinMo user) I would go for android or wait on WP7.

Re: iPhone 3GS for TP2??

LOL @ people sticking up for the TP2, as much as i love mine, it simply doesnt compare to how smooth and snappy the iphone is.

Comparing a 2 day fresh stock ROM TP2 to an iphone MIGHT come close, but it seems like the TP2 self destructs over time.

I got my TP2 last week, ran fine, its been literally 10 days and now my phone is starting to slow down... quite dissapointing really, but I guess thats windows mobile for ya.

Re: iPhone 3GS for TP2??

Personally i like the Iphone for the apps and touchscreen but when if come down to it i prefer the freedom i have with my TP2. Using windows 6.1, then changing to 6.5, and now droid, and then when it come out windows 7.

Re: iPhone 3GS for TP2??

to quote, "big f'ing deal. my 8 year old nieces sh..ty boost mobile phone has apps on it. " not a deal breaker by far. my tp2 has been the best phone ever for me . I know how to utilize it to its maximum, I have never gotten these 10 day old slow downs that some people seem to incur. I'm on stock 6.5 and it runs right as rain for me. hvae fun trying to run ios4 on the 3gs with alll the reports of slowdown and lag on it.
