It's easy to hold and type on an iPhone, unless you've got tiny, girly hands.

      Why on God's earth would anyone even want to SETTLE for an iPhone?
      It's trash quite frankly.

      No bluetooth music streaming and/or file transfers (video is out of the question)
      No drag and drop file juggling
      No Flash support inside Safari (where the heck is Opera Mobile for this thing)
      No Java
      No copy and paste
      No front camera
      No video recording
      No video calls
      No user replaceable battery
      No radio
      No VGA resolution
      No IR port (it's something I take for granted, using my phone as a remote for well...anything just about)
      No physical keyboard
      No external storage card support (Micro SDHC cards are up to 32 GB now, 8GB is NOT enough these days, especially for a media device)
      No voice command (WM devices and even some "el-cheapo" phones have featured this for years now)
      No MMS (it doesn't have phone-to-phone MMS, it has phone-to-air-to-phone picture sharing necessitating a data plan)
      No Live TV (that doesnt require you to be connected to an app like Orb on your home PC, which defeats the purpose, why would I want to watch it on a dinky non VGA screen instead of just on my home PC when im at home anyways)
      No camera flash
      No camera zoom
      Same old, subpar, 2 MP camera for that matter
      No multitasking
      Limited video format support
      Limited picture format support
      Limited file format support in general
      Only 128 MB of RAM (cant run many apps simultaneously, new WM phones are getting 256+ MB of RAM, with 220+ MB free on bootup, and with the Appstore opening up and 3rd party apps making their way to the phone, Apple is behind on the times)


      :-)

                Mizuchi, 22 May 2009Don't make me laugh man WebOS is a shire copy of OSX mobile... moreDude, WebOS is plain html + css + javascript, what's there to copy?? Anyone can create that layout, even me. Plus, it's going to be way easier to create anything with just html+css+javascript and get pretty nice things, unlike s60 and their poorly java ported software/apps. We all have to admit that s60 is plain outdated, for which symbian^2 will have to take over, and also nokia will have to stop making phones; their designers plainly suck, and the materials used to make them are not adequate enough.

                      iPhone? ahh wide and wide, very uncomfortable to use with one hand..

                        one thing to look about it is that it looks like a clone of IPhone, just like 5800XpressMusic.

                                Android and iPhone OS and to a lesser extent WebOS are the future, Symbian is dead.
