Re: what will i miss on iPhone

Phone calls... Dropped and missed.

Great piece of tech but AT&T is the fail network.

Oh, the ability to remove your battery?

My boss told me his daughter's battery on her iphone died and you have to make an appointment with the apple store and go to them and they can open it and replace battery? maybe this has changed with the latest revision..

nobody will ever get me to part with my touch pro.

Well put Raid. You can 'jailbreak' your iPhone, but its hardly like flahsing to different ROMS. IMHO iPhone is NOT A PDA!!!! It is a mulitledia device with internet capabilities, those who deny this are dillusional! iPhone is a great product to go out and purchase if you want to use something that you can master in less than 20 minutes.

Fox Business report compared BB Storm, HTC Touch Pro, T1 by Goggle, and yes the iPhone. I'll give you one guess who took the whole thing, and it wasn't BB, T1, or iPhone!
The only thing the critics could say about HTC TP that was a 'con' was that it was hard to master...? I guess they had to say something!

Re: what will i miss on iPhone

Tv out and car stereos are still available on the iphone. My car stereo works with my iphone but NOT my winmo phone.
Im still part of the forum and i have an iphone.
We were talking about not using word wrap, and ive never been to espn on this so i have no idea.
I was comparing my 3g speed to the speed on wifi, i uave no idea whatyou are talking about.

My WinMo works GREAT in and with my car stereo! I also use my TP to DJ with! BOOYAH Baby! Someone should kick you out of this forum just for owning an iPhone!!!! lol kidding dont get mad, but maybe they should...?

Re: what will i miss on iPhone

Haha no i do love winmo. I just picked a stereo that doesnt have a regular jack just the stupid looking thing for an ipod. I just dont understand why everyone hates the iphone os it does almost all the things that winmo can do.

Re: what will i miss on iPhone

I think you will miss your money...the most. AT&T plans + messaging + data = $$$. But as far as the iPhone, I have nothing against it. It's a great phone.

Re: what will i miss on iPhone

My iphone cost less than the other phones i was looking at, but i got it with a contract. But looking at the contract prices, arent they all around 200?

safari is weak, it doesn't even word wrap so when viewing pages like this thread you have to continually slide back and forth, safari is garbage. Opera by far best browser created.

+1 about Opera.

The iphone screen is perfect for viewing this forum in landscape. It fits perfectly and the font size is beatiful.
@mkmkmk13
The iphone 3gs has a full qwerty keyboard.
If you really really wanted to, you could teather and send mms. just dont get caught by att, bad, bad things will happen.

The only bad thing about safari is that it does not have flash support, but it still loads any page twie as fast as my winmo phone did, when my winmo phone was on wifi and the iphone on 3g.

What i believe is the biggest downside of the iphone is that you need to use itunes. But i felt the same way with active sync.

You by far didn't really need activesync, some programs used it to link to the phone, but other than that, you really don't need it. Tons of other syncing apps are available.

You will probably be disowned though.

Well you will be getting a MUCH better screen! Im tired of how microsoft refuses to add a capacitive to their phones when it IS possible (http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3100). Especially with the way wm6.5 is designed, a capacitive screen would work perfectly. Only difficult thing would be pressing the X button to close a program but that can easily be fixed by remapping the end key of the phone to end the program. You also will be missing a phone that youll need to return every couple of months. I bought my phone in january and Im already on my 4th touch pro (first two keyboard would stop working randomly and third one's camera would freeze and require a soft reset all the time) and my friend is on his 3rd. Microsoft is still playing catch up and once Blackberry fixes the storm, Palm redoes the Pre's keyboard, and Htc agrees to turn the touch pro 2 to android and give it a capacitive screen, Microsoft better watch out

dude, dude dude, duuuuude, dude dude,
Capacitive is coming with wm7.
wm6.5 was not created with capacitive because it also needs hardware, which alot of the phones do not have.
I've only returned my TP once, and that was because I had it heat up so hot that it should have bursted into flames. lol.
Just don't let it get hot, that's when the problems start.

Microsoft started this game.
Haven't you notices how 99% of the stuff on the pre is a spin off of programs you can install on your wm phone?
most of the time, they didn't even make that particular program better.
Yes, webOS is pretty cool, but it's still limited till the SDK is released so we can unlock all the other features. I personally hate how you're limited to I think it was msn or yahoo messenger in your messaging thread, you can't use any other one? I mean wtf is with that.
Other quirks like that are completely killers for webOS.
Plus, the pre has no sdcard? I don't care it has 8gb of internal,
I want removable ones so I can put more and have one for music, one for movies, one for this, and one for that.
It's retarded to get locked down to only 8gb of data.
That's not a whole lot when you really start looking at it.
Especially for media and what not. Just not alot of space for music/vids.

TP2 already has a capacitive screen hardware, it's waiting on wm7

Microsoft is in the middle of changing the game again,
I've been reading up on a bunch of rss popups on my computer,
they're starting their own lines of phones,
still will have wm with htc and what not,
but they're starting their own,
right around the time wm7 is released, expect wm to be taking over the game again.
They're working on their own commercials for wm to truly show everyone how much better wm is than bb and iphone.
It's about time.

My advice to palm is that they need to get their webos straightened out asap, and get rid of the pre and restart with a new phone.
They need to hurry up, or when wm7 comes out,
they're going to right back to how they were, a dying company.
