iPhone 3.0... Whatcha think?

[Noir]

just to make a quick clarification, I owned both an ipod touch (32 gb) and iphone (1 gen 2g). The ipod touch did stay a bit longer in my care than the iphone 2g. And when I had the device, I was still dancing with the xv6700.
That said, I was bored with the iphone. Even after the jailbreak, even after the cydia app launcher, after everything I was bored. There was nothing more I could personally do with it, and even with cydia I was stuck. And my xv6700 was a clunker, heavy, battery drained fast, I had to perpetually carry a charger everywhere I went, but it was a great and stable device that I can fully unlock and tap to its full potential.

With any device, my primary question is this - can I hack this beyond recognition and I have it do what I want to do on the fly? The iphone has several apps, actually too many apps to the point that there are a lot of apps (simpler apps) that just aren't offered. I could give a flying flip about an app. My primary concern wasn't met and it won't be for several iterations down the line.

Am I saying its a good device? that's an opinion because again when I had my apple iphone/ipod touch I was bored with it. Whee look at my scroll. After 5 minutes, you do get bored with the iphone because there isn't much to do because it doesn't meet the needs of an end user. In this case, I was a premed student in my final semester where I needed notes on demand, constantly downloading lectures, pdfs etc etc etc. Apple couldn't do that or keep up with my life style. Re reading notes was a nightmare on the device, while there is pdf support, back then it wasn't lack luster, I couldn't get used to the "ultimate" keyboard and so on.

I have no issue with any brand loyal apple fanboys being on this forum. I don't care, but also understand my point of view. This device (to me) is not all that because it didn't meet my needs as a user. And windows mobile does. That's what defines a device for me. Knock WM but it does allow me to fulfill my needs quite nicely. And truthfully we all love our touch pros...

Well let's see, this is a Windows Mobile forum, so we are gonna think that the iPhone is inferior. I think that about sums it up.
