      So why the hell should i go online, open my email account, attach the file i want to send, send it to my friend, than he opens his email, saves it etc. even if he is standing 3 feet from me. Why can`t i just send it to him via bt in a couple of seconds?
      Multimedia features? How the hell can i listen to music with my wireless headset when i don`t have A2DP? I can`t, so listening to music on the Iphone goes down the drain (and i`m not using a wired headset, i have wires HANGING of my clothes etc.)
      How do i know that Touch Flo3D looks better? Because i OWN a HTC Touch HD and i have 2 friends who own the Iphone (1st one has a 3G, the other has the first generation Iphone)
      Skyfire is NOT a phone, it is a mobile browser that is available on Symbian and WinMo. That just proves iphoners don`t know s*it about anything software related or hardware related. How fast it is? Check the REVIEWS for it, google it. It destroys Opera and Safari put togheter.
      Yeah, user friendlines sucks on WinMobile, but HTC modified and customized the aging WinMo. Thumbs down to MS (at least until they realese WinMo 6.5 or 7), thumbs up to HTC for the modifications.
      Again, why the hell to i have to crack (Jailbrake) and unlock the Iphone to get it to work properly? Isn`t Apple all about SIMPLICTY ? Where is the simplicity now?
      But, like somenone else said, can you use the advanced outlook features on the Iphone? Can you take notes using a stilus (using you`re phone as a piece of paper) Or can you edit WORD document or spreadsheets using you`re Iphone (you can view them, but that is all) ?
      So what cand the Iphone actually do that the HTC Touch HD can`t? Give me an exemple of applications, PRACTICAL ones (we have stupid apps on the WinMo platform and Symbian too) ?
      Oh, another one : Someone said that the Iphone is for Pro users or Power users, than why the hell every 13 year old kid has one? Are 13 year old kids so advanced these days? Hell, some 13 year old kids today can`t spell their names correct.

      And as for Vista, it has 20 percent of the market alreay (google os market share), and Service Pack 2 is already in beta, in 2 months it will be realsed. Bugs? Does an uptime of 32 days (my personal PC) mean something to someone, anyone? Viruses? I have a antivirus, what viruses? I haven`t seen a virus for months. Yes, sure, if you watch porn sites all day and navigate through warez (torrent) sites all day, you are more exposed.

                    [deleted post]PERFECT?! is that what you said?! you consider it "perfect" without MMS? bluetooth transfer? expansion slot? can take video? dude, you better check your dictionary and look under letter P and check the definition of the word PERFECT.

                    PERFECT means "entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings"

                    just try to understand what it means ok! you sound very funny

                          Iphone is still the best phone in the market now. There are no other phone that could beat the iphone. If your phone is jailbreak and unlock you do what you like: free music, xm radio.....

                              My dear fellows, the main reason that Winmo (Windows Mobile) is getting behind of Nokia, Apple and others is simple. Winmo mobiles are for BUSINESS only. How many of you use your mobile for editing Word files? taking notes using the stylus? use the advance Outlook features on your mobile? The answer is very few of you actually use your mobile for business.

                              But how many of you use your mobile for entertainment? Music, high quality cameras, excellent web browsing and high quality screen? I think more than 90 percent of the people use thier phones for entertainment purposes. Now that explains why Windows Mobiles are not doign business and others like iPhone are doing really good business. Windows Mobile are strictly for business and the are very limited when it comes to doing things for fun. Even though my favorite is Windows mobile but I will not buy them if i want something fun and easy to use.

                              How many of you are actually business men or women? not many, most of you are just small consumers, so brands like Apple and Nokia, Sony Ericsson seems much more suitable for you. That explains it all.

                              If Microsoft wants to stay in business, they probably have to release something like Windows Mobile for small consumers like us. With Windows Mobile 7 along with Windows 7 coming soon, we might expect something good out of them for a change.

                                  Why don't you MMS me a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, Powerpoint presentation or PDF file if MMS is your criteria for a smart phone.

                                  With email you can attach these things and they can be read on an iPhone, that seems a lot smarter than phones limited to MMS.

                                  What about the limit size limit on MMS, some handsets can handle 100kb, others 400kb, wow that 5 or 8 megapixel camera sure comes in handy when pictures are resized to fit within these restrictions.

                                  What's the cost of an MMS?

                                  Here in Australia it's A50c, to send a maximum of 400kb to one recipient, I get 2GB of data for $A20 included as part of my iPhone plan.

                                  Do you know how many 400kb emails I can send to multiple recipients for that much? I figure it to be 52,000.

                                  Does your network have an agreement with my network?

                                  You'd better hope so because if it doesn't bye bye MMS, it just vanishes somewhere between you and I, and guess what here's the part the network's love, they will still charge you for sending it.

                                  Can you send an MMS to my iPhone, sure instead of sending it to my phone number send it to one of my email addresses and I'll get it there no matter which phone network you are with or which country you are in.

                                  My network even gives me a link so I can reply, I haven't had a chance to test this yet because no-one I know EVER uses MMS.

                                  The last one I sent was over 5 years ago, it is useless dated technology.

                                  To sum up MMS sounds more of a requirement for a dumb phone than a smart phone.

                                        iPhone still s*cks!, 06 Dec 2008i agree with you Mr. HTC Touch HD! definitely agree! there'... moreUmmm, there are tons of things that all phones cannot do, not just the iphone, lol.

                                        Do you honestly believe that millions of people would buy the iphone just because it has a very good ad campaign? It takes two to tango. No matter how good your ad campaign is, if your product sucks, people will catch up on that and will not buy your product. The iphone is a major success because it does have a very good ad campaign, and it delivers the goods as well. You are the one who needs to open your eyes. Your jealousy is eating you up and is messing up your brain =)
