I know it's not illegal to hack your phone, but it does however void your warranty with the carrier supposedly. I'm sure MS could care less because they already made money off of you buying the phone, so what do they care what you do with it after you get it.

exactly, now why does that fruity loser that likes hybrid cars, starbucks, seattle, sexual ambiguity, and the iphone like a phone that doesn't allow you to customize it the way you want? the answer? because the iphone fits into that same list of sheep-herding advertising (although I haven't seen too many ads about Seattle)

I have a friend that has a iphone and loves it. We both can bring up alot fo pros and cons on both devices. The main killer argument for iphones is that fact that it does use full 100% acceleration. And the main killer argument for us WM users is that fact that we have freedom with our devices. I choose freedom.

Yup. I agree. Unlocking and flashing is probably the best part of Winmo devices.

But that being said, I'd have to say that we are in the minority. Most people don't really have the techincal acumen (nor the interest) in tweaking their phones like most PPCgeeks.

Ya, its even kinda funny thou. My iphone friend told me the other day he is pretty bored with the phone and does not want to pay more money fro the apps. He said that he bought a few app in the past but found them useless and boring after 5 minutes. I told him.. them exactly why i wont buy a iphone. I mean, look at us now.. here we are playing with opera mini 5! We get candies free all the time!

we should be making our case to iphone users constantly...it would be a lot easier if they weren't brainwashed...

Sheesh. I know the Iphone is overhyped, but lets face it, until HTC moves away from the qualcomm chipsets, we wont be seeing phones from them that can blow the Iphone out of the water
