Apple iPhone 3GS

The iPhone's icon-based interface is mostly unchanged from version 1.0 of the ROM. Sure you can have multiple panels of icons and any icon can be moved around, but these aren't huge changes. I STILL can't better organize my many pages of icons into categories (how about some folders?). I've seen people with eight panels full of icons. It's ridiculous! How do you find the app you want among among a sea of dozens?
And, why can't I have more than four items on the dock? I use more than four apps on a regular basis. In addition, I STILL can't check my next appointment at a quick glance. I STILL need to unlock the phone to see any sort of useful information (except for missed calls and missed SMS).
The latest iPhone's claim to fame is its speed. And yes, it's faster compared to the 3G and especially the original. But even with that, I still need to go ‘Home’ in order to open another application quickly, which takes time. Multitasking on the iPhone still totally sucks. In Windows Mobile, jumping from email to calendar and back to email is several times faster than it is in iPhone. Every second counts.
Web browsing IS smooth and fast on the 3GS, but hey, Apple, where is Flash support? Having Flash support is absolutely critical, and the iPhone STILL lacks it.
The iPhone interface is stale, and so is the design of the hardware. It hasn't changed much since 2007. Windows Mobile is still ahead, it can multi-task like a champ, it's available in a dozen form factors, it has second-to-none Exchange integration, and it is highly tweakable. Oh, and Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 kicks butt.

A random question. With Apple only allowing you to link to one PC, does anyone have any tips on the following. My home PC has Itunes and should be the syncing PC but I want to be able to get my Outlook contact and calendar data from my work PC synced aswell. Is there any way of doing this?
Cheers, S.

Anonymous, 30 Jun 2009ill go for samsung omniaHD i8910.. 620USD? not worth a 3mp ... morego buy a canon digicam then? ^_^
we all know that do-it-alls are no good at all.. they do half bad for half the things they do, and totally suck with the rest.
but in the contest of all the do-it-alls, nothing comes close at par with the iphone so far.. but that n97 looks kinda promising @_@

hani, 29 Jun 2009its not the most powerful device in the market samsung omin... moreThats might be true, but the iphone destroys the touch technology of all the competitors. The others just cant match it yet. the camera and stuff are a little substandard on the iphone but when they finally catch up, they will rule the mobile market.

apple have got it down to a t here, down to a t in making money its amazing how so little changes can cause so much hype, i'm not saying its not a good piece of technology but for example comparing apples last 3 models to nokia, look how far the n97 has come on since the n95 my point is for the amount of money their making off the iphone u think they could reward the consumer with something a bit different and more improved all the updates on the 3gs are available for the original except the 3.15 camera and to be honest 1mp doesnt really make much difference unless enlargeing the pic
