Nice Touch Pro vs. iPhone anecdote
I was standing in line for a movie with an iPhone-using buddy of mine, and he pulled out his iPhone to start watching a YouTube video we were discussing. (BTW this is the '3G' iPhone.)

He tapped the YT video result. And we waited.

And waited.

...and waited.

Over a full minute later, I pulled up the same video and not only did it load and play almost immediately (while his took over a minute to load and begin playing) but the speaker volume was still loud enough for us to hear it on a very busy street. (ETA) By the way, when I say busy, I mean big-city major metropolitan area busy with people and cars everywhere. Plus this is somewhere where AT&T coverage should be good. But AT&T blow goats and I've always said so...

Re: Nice Touch Pro vs. iPhone anecdote
Good story, check out this one.

The other day I was at breakfast with two friends of mine(one of which whom owns an iphone) when the other mentions a you tube video that was posted on some obscure site. Friend pulls out his iphone, goes to the site, won't play. Tries searching for the video in teh YouTube app, cant find it... I pulled out my TP, downloaded and installed skyfire (flash on IE and Opera dont work very well) and had the video playing in a matter of minutes. We all had a good laugh, the video was hilarious, but I noticed a look of disappointment on the iphone owners face...

Re: Nice Touch Pro vs. iPhone anecdote
How come no Blackberry thread comparisons? The BB is just as popular, if not MORE popular than the iphone. Why is everyone so afraid of the iphone?
