TP2 will one-up the iPhone like the iPhone will one-up the TP2 on different comparisons so its all about preference...

Exactly, although I didn't want to make it seem like it was an attack on your statements (saying that it's a better system). We all know it's about preference, blah blah blah. But the OP is looking for arguments to make him feel better about his purchase, as his "friends" have been talking up their iPhone around him. There's no better way to feel better about your purchase than to bash the other options. And that's something I get passionate about. It feels good doing the research and knowing more than the average iPhone user. Hell, that post that one person made about his rocket scientist nephew using the iPhone makes me feel like I should be running things at NASA.

see what happens when you play nice i'll be honest i'm glad he created this thread because we've all played with an iphone but i learned a couple of things i didn't like the fact you can't download from the web on the iphone (thats a killer for me) and file management. those things alone will never allow me to purchase an iphone plus of course all of the other stuff.

those are the exact two reasons i dont have one... im so used to downloading music albums from the web, extract them to my music folder and rename the songs so there are nice and organized on the go, same goes to downloading 3rd party apps via .cab or .apk (without the store)... if i cant do that or have to depend on the PC, ill pull my hair out... I can live without multitasking but my ability to get what i want without a PC, thats priceless... bummer though, i love everything else it does...

Wow, I didn't even know you couldn't download from the web. WOW. Jesus. That's a move from handcuffs to a straight-jacket. WOW!

Talk about close minded, you think anybody who doesn't care about customizing their phone is stupid or not creative which is FAR from the case.

Some people (most people really) just want a phone to do what they want (make calls, browse the web, play an occsaional game, play music) without needing any customization or ROM flashing & they probably think that geeks like us who spend hours doing this stuff are the idiots........(this kid is WAY to busy to waste his time customizing his phone)

By the way, the nephew doesn't "work for the government". He is a sub contractor who owns his business & lives in a 3 million dollar house in Cambridge Ma. He knows how to "think for himself" just fine........
