just saw an email on the new iphone. just wondering if sprint carried this phone would you guys dump the touchpro for it? i know its a moot point but i guess its a good way to get some opinions on who thinks the tp is still better

I think that the general consensus on the iPhone is that it's just a cool fad, and not quite as practical as apple wants you to think it is. Most of those "Apps" they tout are no more than web browser extensions. No reason that you can't do anything with a Touch Pro that you could do with an iPhone, and you get a REAL keyboard.

I agree, thought about the iPhone for about 15 seconds, then came back to Earth. I love my TP baby!!!

There's nothing too great about the new iphone. The fact that they waited until an entirely new revision to be able to add a video feature speaks volumes on how much Apple wants to keep the iPhone on lockdown. AT&T is also not a particularly good service to be chained to for several years.

Honestly they really didn't do anything to the device to actually call it new...
And if I wanted an iphone, I would've went to AT&T. I like the freedom to customize & customization goes as far as installing an app with Apple..

New iPhone is the same as the old iPhone. And still on AT&T, no thanks.

You know, after years and years using an old Motorola i1000 and then i90c, I was pretty freaking excited when I saw my roomate's new iPhone. I wanted one, and I wanted one bad. Thankfully, I wasn't able to buy it at the time, and instead cycled through a few more crappy dumbphones until I'd moved to a new state, new job, and new carrier. When it was time to renew and ditch the Samsung Hue I'd been given, I did about a week of researching and decided on the Touch Pro.

Now, seeing everything I can do with this bad boy (and comparing it to what I was able to do with my roomate's iPhone), I think it would take a serious change in Apple's philosophies for me to reconsider.

IBTL or IBTM?

The iphone is not all that great. You have to buy apps, camera sucks and is outdated.
Browser is ok but they always compare the speed to an older windows mobile based browser instead of the newer ones. So I would stay With the TP.
