Ok, I agree with all that. I just had a guy tonight at a wedding I was DJing, tell me how awesome his iPhone is when he saw me using my TP. Oh and did I mention he worked for APPLE?!!! anyway, he was an idiot to say the least, when I tried explaining to him about the free apps versus the 'paid apps' with iPhone, he insisted I was wrong and that he got them for free. Well he works for apple so I would imagine he would get some frre right? Then he tries out doing my phone. He ran all sorts of speed tests, with scrolling, they were about the same speeds give or take. When I told him his phone was basically made for the common idiot who couldn't even fathom navigation on a PPC, he decided to pull out the 'ore apps than you crap'. But he didn't, he was astonished that I can listen to XM Radio on my TP, and watch live streaming video (not like the iphone downloaded video, but the 'LIVE' streaming video0 with no lag... Yes people, he was a true idiot...

as far as the touch pro goes, it's easily the best windows mobile device i've used (thanks to touchflo 3D, but i just hate when it goes into windows after that). as far as reliability is concerned, thats a whole other issue entirely (5 broken touch pros - most unreliable phone ive ever owned). the problem, quite honestly, is windows mobile. ive been using winmo since microsoft released pocketpc 2000, and while that was awesome, today, the software just needs to get revamped, period. 6.5 is essentially a GUI update, with no real major changes under the hood. that being said, hopefully winmo7 brings some much needed freshness to the table.

The IPhone has one feature our WM phones don't have and that is multitouch touch screen...
It's what lets them do all those cool zoom features.

But other than that it's not much more than a video ipod with phone built in.

perfect example of iphone fans' prorities- some people actually bought the "i am rich" app before it got pulled. cost $1000, and did NOTHING but sit on the screen proving to other idiots that youre rich enough to throw away a grand.

sorry if ive offended any fanbois, but... well, no im not actually. i hate apple. it so elitist it makes me sick. they produce basic products but charge twice as much as comparaple items. and why, for clickwheels & logos & pretty finishes? whatever. feeling awesome with an iphone is like feeling 1337 for figuring out how to do custom ringtones on your RAZR or something.

end rant. sorry, dont bring up iphones around me if you dont wanna hear it, lol....
