To each their own... Iphone is nice. But there are numerous apps for winmo, and the new interfaces make finger swiping and controlling a lot easier. Let us know if you want to sell your TPro, im sure someone here will snatch it up...

I figure after 6 months and on my 3rd phone, still can't get a decent reception issue resolved. I might try and sell it here have to see.

That's about the dumbest thing I have heard. The new interfaces coming with 6.5 and other TP2 stuff are going to make the TP so much better (even though it already is pretty damn good). One thing I like about the TP, It's WinMo and you don't have to buy everything from apple to install. Oh, and I can customize to my likings. The new WM 6.5 interface, I haven't used my stylus yet. :)

But yeah, to each their own. Simplicity is what you are going for it seems. Oh well. Tell me if you want to sell your TP. I could use a spare.

Sounds more like a Carrier issue (or house) instead of phone. :D I don't have signal issues. Of course, I don't use the stock radio rom either. Oh well.

not 2 start a battle, but the iphone will NOT serve ur needs in the long run. htc phones r far and away better at everything. sure u cant shake ur phone 2 get food, or download all the k00l apps people make.
i hope u dont regret it after a month. hang on 2 ur tp.. ull need it in 31 days or less after u switch. but 2 b fair, u will need the money from ur tp to come back. 350 dollars in double disconnect fees will hurt.
fyi i only use my tp 2 reply here. take care man.

I never understood why people make threads like this, it completely blows my mind. Like anyone on here cares what you are going to do. If you are going to go non-winmo knock yourself out but please do not make a announcement about it.

1) No one really cares.
2) Its waste of space on our forums.

Not trying to be rude but come on now.

Same thing with people posting, "downloading now and I will try it out" or something like that. Uh, isn't everyone downloading and trying it out?

I'm going to wait for the palm pre its better in every way. and why when somebody say there going to get the IPhone everyone just gets mad just face it the Iphone is better but not by that much the fact is htc don't help us with our phones like apple do with Iphone. come on guys there's somethings you see the Iphone do and you come back here to see if your phone can get that app for your phone. its like we are trying to keep up with the Iphone and we don't get any help from htc all they worry about is making new phones so we can pay for the samething over and over again look at the tp and the tp2. don't you guys no that your about to buy the same phone theres no big difference in the tp2 and htc knows that they put a bigger screen now you are about to pay almost $700 for a screen thats crazy. now look at the Iphone and the Iphone3g look there's a big diff between them. but like said I'm waiting on the palm pre aka the Iphone killer

Re: think i am going back to att and the iphone
 
As it has been said, to each there own.
I am not gonna say the iPhone is a bad and horrible phone, because it actually isn't, but it's just not for me, I prefer WinMo devices cause, well first I know the WinMo OS (have had a pocket PC of some sort since 2000-2001 time frame, and I like the ease of customization that can be done with it.

But also as grey.foxx stated, why post an anouncement about going to the iPhone on a PPC forum....oh well.

The Iphone and Iphone 3G was really the same phone except that it offered 3G and GPS. Most of the differences from the original iPhone compared to what they have now (as far as I can tell) is OS/software upgrade. But seriously, taking them this long to implement things like copy/paste, and finally having videos surfacing on video recording, how is the iPhone "that much better" than the pro. How is running only one application at a time "that much better" than the touch pro?

Yeah, there are some things that the iPhone can do, but there are a lot of things the Touch Pro can do that the iPhone can't. Better really is relative to the user. Maybe there are more programs on the iPhone, especially centralized, but I don't attribute that to the iPhone being better. It's just the apple brand that has made more consumers aware of smartphones/pdas. When you have an explosion of users, and more developers, you'll have more ideas, and more people implementing them. That leads to, "hey, that's kind of cool, we should put it on our phones because it could be useful, or fun." That doesn't detract from the developers here and on xda-dev.

And anyways, I could careless for probably 98% of the applications in the itunes store anyways. As for the Pre, nobody knows how that phone will turn out, especially the applications that you'll probably be wanting/seeking. Getting that phone early will probably put you back at square one until either the development community happens, or it fizzles out and people come crawling back to winmo, move to android, or go with apple.

whatevs

the only way i would use an iphone was if it was jailbroken and I could use it on sprint, even then I'd be upset that I couldn't run half the stuff on the iphone that I could on a WM phone. I wouldn't want to deal with AT&Ts sorry excuse for 3G and pay 90$ for it.

I too will be waiting for the pre. Intend on trading my other Pro out with it. It looks awesome. by the way didnt Sprint just start their 4G?

I will never pay money for Steve jobs and his lackeys to tell me what I can and can't do with my own device.

Also, way too many tards out there have an iphone because its pretty and the rest of the world has one. They like to say...look what my phone can do - when WinMo was able to do most of it years ago.

Like all the executives at my workplace are getting iphones...and its trickling down....all their little minions are getting them now...I laugh at them all. They cant even VPN into the work network from their devices...but they think the fact that they can get their exchange email on the iphone is the best invention in the world......UGH

God...sometimes Apple makes me want to vomit.

I had the iphone for the last year, and I gotta say, it sucks... it was fun for the first couple weeks, but that's it

Re: think i am going back to att and the iphone
 
Most ppl know I'm not an iphone fan..do I think its a great phone yes I do in its self it is does it hold a candle to the tp not even close but to the op if that's the route you wanna take..take it I'm not gonna "bash" you cause at the end of the day its YOUR choice. All I can say is the ipod touch rocks as for an mp3 player best I used so far and I have A LOT of mp3 players and the fact I can make calls over wifi is a plus too :-D

Enjoy your iPhone, Boo Boo.

It's a great phone. I'd rather have my TP (or pretty much any WM phone), but if the iPhone is what your heart desires, I think it's good that you're going to just switch instead of trying to tweak your TP to look like an iPhone.

I don't see the problem. Some people really like the iPhone better...WM phones just aren't for everyone. The iPhone is definitely more "noob friendly".

Good luck . To each his own , follow what your heart is telling you. But personally having an iphone instead of a TP to me is like driving a Beamer when you can drive a Bentley

Dr.8820 04-08-2009 01:57 PM

Re: think i am going back to att and the iphone
 
i hope the op doesn't start another thread about how much he missed his tp when he doesn't like the iphone lol!

no one is upset. for example if this was a chevy forum i think all the members would respond the same way if a person suddenly posted that they were buying a ford.
