12 reasons to buy Windows Mobile phone instead of iPhone 3G
July 11, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
iPhone 3G goes on sale today worldwide, but we would like to point out that in many respects Windows Mobile phones are superior to iPhone 3G.
Here are the reasons:
3rd party applications in iPhone 3G cannot run in background: only one application can run at any given time in iPhone 3G so no background running of applications possible! In Windows Mobile phone several (many) applications can run at the same time so it is possible for example to simultaneously run in Windows Mobile: a) downloading a 50 MB MP3 file with a podcast, b) IM chatting with somebody including native Skype client for windows Mobile or native Live Messenger from Microsoft, c) edit Office documents, d) browse Internet, e) make a phone call, etc.
iPhone 3G has resolution of only 480x320 what is 2 times less than VGA (640x480) and W-VGA (wide VGA = 800x480) used in several Windows Mobile phones, what practically means: you can read more text on the display at once and everything is sharper
camera in iPhone 3G is inferior to camera in many Windows Mobile phones: it has only 2 megapixels compared to 3 to 5 megapixels in Windows Mobile phones and it does not have auto-focus - also present in many Windows Mobile phones
one cannot record videos with built-in camera of iPhone 3G, what is possible up to resolution of 640x480 pixels and 30 FPS (frames per second) in Windows Mobile phones
iPhone 3G supports HSDPA of maximal speed only 3.6 MB/second, while some Windows Mobile phones (including HTC Touch Diamond) suppport HSDPA of speed 7.2 MB/second
iPhone 3G does not have exchangeable battery that all Windows Mobile phones have, but only built-in battery so if you run out of battery you cannot replace it to prolong battery life - as it is possible with Windows Mobile phones
original (i.e. from Microsoft) Office Mobile is built-in in each Windows Mobile phone and allows not only for viewing but also for editing of Office documents, so there is no need ot buy 3rd party software for it
there is much more 3rd party applications (programs) for Windows Mobile: over 20,000 compared to 500 for iPhone 3G
to make applications for Windows Mobile one needs either PC computer or Mac but to make applications for iPhone 3G one needs to buy a Mac computer - if you don't have Mac computer then you cannot develop applications for iPhone 3G
most Windows Mobile phones come without SIM lock so they can be used at any operator in given country and with SIM cards from abroad (important when traveling and you want to use local prepaid SIM card to avoid International roaming fees) while iPhone 3G has SIM lock and can work with only this operator at which it has been purchased
iPhone 3G has capacitive touch-screen meaning that it must be used with fingers and that it cannot be used with stylus or fingernails (what women like)
iPhone 3G has no physical keyboard or keypad, so users have no choice but to use virtual keyboards on the display while Windows Mobile offers phones in various form-factors, including such that have both touch-screen and a physical QWERTY keyboard
Conclusion: do not buy iPhone 3G but instead buy one of many Windows Mobile phones!

Jailbroke my 3g iphone last night. went very smoothly. there are very little 3rd party apps out yet for the 2.0 firmware so do expect to much for at least a few weeks. the jailbrake actually made my phone run a bit faster aswell, not sure why that is but it did. dont forget tho if you choose to jailbreak your iphone you could void your warrenty.
cant wait for the old apps to update to 2.0. happy days.
