i realized how much i love my touch after buying an iphone.
 
i'll not go on about what can be done on touch that cannot be done on iphone, but i just bought an iphone because of a refurbished deal around ATT without contract (i got it for $200 look brand new and no contract) so i wanted to unlock it and resale it for much more (i already unlocked it). The feel of the touch compare to the iphone is so much better. now i see that i'm not really missing much, i'm not a iphone hater but after having both on my hand and funcionality the touch wins hand down.

the iphone wins hands down the user interface is much better, Microsft has a thing to learn from apple. The touch can not decide if it wants to be an iphone or a windows mobile device, when in iphone mode it is nothing like an iphone, granted the iphone is on a 2.5 g data network but this year there will be a 3g iphone and ever perhaps a faster cpu with it.

this is what i did, i called a few stores and they required a new contract. i called to a store that i knew have some left and spoke to a girl, told here i wanted to buy it has a gift for my girl and that if it was possible, she said "no problem" and i asked for her name. went to the store and asked for her, u brought out the iphone and the manager came saying that i need a new contract, she explained my situation and he told me to make sure she activated the phone within 14 days, (suckers) they only asked for my email address. so now i have a 1.1.4 unlock version ready for resale. This refurbish phone look completly new never use, not a single scratch and everything included. it even come with the tape that cover the screen.

The Htc Touch/Elf have been around long before the Iphone, so how is "it" deciding to be an Iphone, give me a effing break???

It is a WM phone that is what it is, as for the slow "speed" of the Iphone, it doesn't really matter to a large number of people if it is bumped up to the next level because although I've had Rev A in our area for years, yes years, ATT is slower than **** and has no plans I can find to ever increase it.



P.S. Ed, I also saw that $199 deal and was thinking of getting one myself for a little while and unlocking/selling it ;)

The 3g iPhone is rumored to only be in Europe and that AT&T is going to roll out WiFi "everywhere" with their unused 700MHz spectrum. So that there may never be a 3G iPhone.

The iPhone SDK was just announced. Dang! It's nice.

SDK = Software Development Kit

Also, the addition of all the enterprise perks will make the iPhone more attractive to the business crowd.

I'm no big apple fan but I will give credit where credit is due, the iPhone is a pretty decent device IMO.

Also, having a central location for all Apps in the world will help. Wish MS had something like that. It would make it easier than posting the same App on 6 different PPC Forums.

That may sound nice, but I like having options. I would hate having to get EVERYTHING from Apple, and you know nothing will be free.
