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...

LOL

but wait. here comes the touch pro 2, then is over.

eh, TP2 will still have a plastic screen.
I want the glass one already so I don't have to deal with scratches or screen protector!

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.

Keyboard is HTC's fault.
The other Windows after TF3d will be solved with TF3d 2.5,
it basically covers 99% of windows screens.
which is being worked on now,
and the bugs are being worked out before they release it.

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

zoom features arent all that cool.
they're semi cool, but I like alot of my zoom features. lol.
but multitouch will be here with WM7.
hopefully they start using glass screens though, as that is really a huge factor to me and is quite annoying to have to deal with the plastic scratch-with-anything-touching-me-so-you-have-to-buy-screen-protectors-or-letyour-screen-go-to-crap-so-you-cant-see-anything-screens-that-we-have.

the *ONLY* advantage the iphone has it's the way it render video.. that eye candy way of opening apps etc etc... technology that apple stole and they being sued for it now. I'm sure they will settle like they have done with all the other sue related issues to the iphone and copyright.

O.K. My son-in-law and his pastor both have iPhones. They were showing me all the things they can do on it. But when I tried to show them that the TP could just about do the same thing, my battery went dead. They told me "It's o.k., they will wait for the battery to charge" then I could show them. I wound up showing them something I can do on the TP they couldn't do on the iPhone. I pulled a spare battery out of my pocket and replaced the dead one.

when i see someone with an iphone i immediately think- wow another label-***** with money > brains. while they are "neato", iphones are apple's ingenious way of making money off self-important morons. take a basic phone, add a few cool features, make it shiny & elite-looking, and every schmuck with a louis vuitton wallet will be lined up outside the apple store.

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....

why all the iphone bashing? after all, now it has video and can copy and paste! i wish our tps could do that and then we would have a competition! wait...what's that in the back?....we have that on our tps?....and 700wx?....and vogue?....samsung a940?...ok, carry on then lol!

I have a itouch and the keyboad between the two are the same, it would drive me nuts if a had to use that to text/type on. Even with one handed tying i find it hard to type accurately and the auto correct feature
It could never be my primary device.

A lot of people are asking if apple can put a physical keyboard on the iphone. So apple gave them a compass just to phuck with them.
