Everyone knows what the iPhone is capable of, people should also know how powerful wm phones can be. Our community will grow and development for WM phones could increase. I'm not taking it as seriously as some may think, i'm just trying to show support and back our choice of brand. Because wm devices aren't advertised very well, i could have easily missed out on phones like the mogul and touch pro. Thank god curiosity got the best of me.

That my friend is a completely logical thing to do and yes i do believe that serves a purpose but what has no purpose are post like the first few in this thread. The only thing that will do is give us WinMo users a bad name. I for one did write a review describing the phone briefly and giving slight comparison to the iPhone on issues that are important to people in my age group. I for one believe one should be respectful until disrespected. now what you do beyond that depends on the situation and the type of person you are. Now this situation requires that us WinMo users hold ourselves to higher standard than the people who are running our devices down. if we really want to help this device out we will give a review of this device that is thorough and done in a decent manner. (summary) Yes please write a review of this device but do not bash any other devices in the process.

This can go back and forth all day. I think its time we move on, or start a comparison thread in the comparison section if you want.

*I have decided to move this back after a convo with the OP. Keep it civil please

Off Topic...Rockbox is the best! Anyone who has an iPod needs to load this software! I love it because it's compatible with virtually every music file (mainly use my iPod for loading Dave Matthews shows that come in FLAC format). Drag, Drop, Listen. No conversion!

On topic...2 words...hardware keyboard. Everyone that I know with an iPhone has to stumble over their fingers to get the right words pressed. I've got the keyboard down on the TP where I can type just like I'm typing to you now.

3G = Joke. AT&T's network blows for data. We have a BB curve for our IT help desk and after hours support and I hardly ever want to use it. The only reason I would go to GSM is if I'm out of the country...even then all my Sprint phones have worked just fine when traveling to Mexico a few times a year (will usually pick up a GSM rental if I'm in Europe or Asia -- CDMA usually doesn't work well there). I've never been in a spot where Sprint doesn't work...with the exception of rural areas driving from Phoenix to Vegas (and even then it's only for about 30-40 minutes without service).

I'd love to show cnet a thing or two about ppc users. They officially gave the TP 3 and a half stars... that's what they gave the mogul! The TP performs much much better than my mogul ever did. Now they gave the iPhone 3g 4 stars on launch and we all know the huge problems iPhones had until the recent updates and the still lacking features of the phone. Reviewers of the iPhone responded by giving it 3 stars! Our tp users have given our phones 4 stars! I think it's obvious we're showing cnet a thing or two about reviewing...

OK, I'm moving back here again. PLAY NICE, without the personal attacks this thread can do a lot of good, so lets see to it that both hold true

Wow. I knew iPhone users were generally idiots!

Lets thank pattycerts for giving this thread a second chance!
And remember to keep things clean and tasteful, we want to spread the good word about our phones, we don't need to bash iPhoners because they already know what they're missing.

I had no clue I could circle a part of a picture on my Touch Pro and it would zoom in on it! I just tried it and was amazed, lol. That's flippin' sweet!

For those who has SERO, all you need to tell the iFone fanboys is, "BEAT THE PLAN PRICE."

ha, i have a feeling you'll be finding more and more great finds on your phone. make sure to check out the stickies at the top of the touch pro forum.
And if you have a chance please go to the cnet link and give a positive review of your phone and experience
