I think if the iPhone comes to CDMA, Win Mobile is doomed. And, it looks like January is a fairly good possibility of Verizon getting iPhone...

Sorry if you think that video was impressive, it wasn't to me, and it was also completely impractical. Games on any phone, including the iphone, simply aren't good enough for a tv. They're great for when you're taking a dump.

What I'm looking forward to with my video cables is being able to bring up years and years of pictures off my pc while visiting with friends or family. With the iphone I'd pay more per month, not to mention the 10 bucks for the orb app. Also, I have to pay 200 to get out of sprint. In another two years, maybe I'll consider the iphone 4g lol.

Oh wow. remote desktop. I'm impressed. HAHAHA.
The dude that see that just owns an Iphone. No more to that.

No No peeps. U are getting all these things mixed up. It's not about who is better. it's about celebrating these devices strengths.

Oh good Lord, a windows mobile iphone. I have a feeling if this really happened, it would be the 4gb 99$ model i've been hearing about. Not only that, but they would use it as an example of how much smoother the mac os runs on the iphone lol.

Statistics show WM losing market share fast. iPhone has more market share with one model than all WM devices combined. As of 3rd quarter

You're right, the iphone is impressive. It's impressive that so many people buy it, spend so much on it, only to have Apple control what can go on it and what people can do with it. Its impressive that people think they are "buying" an iphone when in reality they are just renting it. It's impressive how AT&T allows stolen iphones to be registered on their network. No insurance for lost or stolen phones = full price replacement + new customer from the theif. Yeah, there's lots of things impressive about the iphone, but what's most impressive is how gay people have gotten for it.

It's because WM5 6 platform is there for a long time. Think of it as a top 40 music. the no. 1 is always get knocked off the top by a newer song even the newer song is not as good as the former no. 1

ANd that is why we need a new platform. WM7 then it will go back up.

I'll say this, I'm glad the iphone exists. It wasn't for me, but it definitely is a great phone. It's success will only drive competition which benefits all of us.
