Phone plan is what kills the iPhone in every way.

Sprint + Sprint SERO > iPhone + AT&T

No GPS yet... Have to wait till early next year, and it will only be AGPS, and costs extra to use...

so what does gps enabled really mean?
if i cant have the gps then ill go with one that has that feature
any other options ?

You shuold really know which one you want already, hopefully you have handeled them both... Don't let the Wifi of the Iphone fool you into thinking the broadband wireless service is that fast. Also, wait for the 2nd generation Iphone, that will really determine where Apple will go for the future. If you can't decide on the phone, the cost of the plan should be the final determination. Not much more to say I think.

I don't believe the Sprint Touch is advertiesed as GPS enabled is it? The FCC Testing indicates that HTC tested AGPS in their publishings, but the software is stll in development, news is that it will be released in Q1 next year, so very soon...

P.S. have you asked this question on an Apple Forum? See what they have to say. Asking here says that you want a PPC...

first off... the iphone uses the youtube mobile layout, but loads the youtube mp4 files... in the next few months all of youtube is going to be converted to low quality and high quality mp4 files... youtube mobile, currently uses 3g compression... At least this is how i understand it...

Try reading klurf. Then try dictionary.com for the definition of "almost" which is obviously eluding you.

Okay, how about this...the iPhone doesn't crush the touch in ALMOST every way.

It beats it in a number of places. Better screen size and resolution, better media playing, better camera, (debatable) better user interface out of the box, text messaging out of the box, wifi

Touch beats it in the ability to be customized, size, 3rd party applications, PIM applications, word and excel support, broader multimedia support, bluetooth, amongst others.

Web Browsing is a push, with perhaps a slight edge (no pun intended) to the iPhone due to the better browswer (but the better speed for the touch keeps it rather close). This swings back towards the Touch when next gen browsers come out.

So please, explain how it "Crushes" the touch in "almost" every way?

Geez people. By these rantings im almost positive were all a product of the great American public school system so to do battle over the english grammar is like winning the special olympics. its a great feeling but your not gonna get the next Nike contract.
So get to the point. how does the iphone "Almost/nearly/Totally/withnoremorse" or whatever 1950's batman "POW" description you'd like to use Crush the Touch?? Never owned one but willing to jump ship as better devices come out.
