I am unashamedly anti-Crapple, but only because of my experiences, knowledge, discerning tastes and risk-averse, open nature. Now rather than fuel the feature-for-feature fights that these post have entertainingly purpoted, I want to share a very amusing observation I have made when discussing the merits of iPhone versus WiMo with die-hards: How come Crapple users go all gay and enthusiastic-like when they show you a blingy thing that the iphone does, but when you point out ANYTHING that every other WiMo phone does better, their response is always the same – “But I don’t need that”. I am sure they don’t – at least until the next version of Crapple supports it anyway….Tony Stark.

WinMo is much more complete than iOS, without a doubt. But WinMo’s sluggish usability, non finger-friendliness dragged it down when compared to iOS. Feature/hardware/software wise, you think iphone is better, think again. WinMo is always winning. You think only Iphone has this and that software? Don’t rush, WinMo does have it.

History proved you wrong. Winmo 7 is much improved, but ms might be late.

Windows mobile 6.5 is a piece of shit. Firstly, I’m using a Samsung Omnia 2 which runs on the latest WM 6.5. The applications are just too sluggish and laggy. Using the default theme for it just wants me to throw it to the wall.

Secondly, I resorted to using SPB Themes. It was slightly better, but still slow and sluggish nevertheless. The only way to make the phone faster and less slow is to flash the ROM with those cooked version, only then i was able to use my darn phone.

Note this, cooking roms are not easy to do and are pretty complicated. Only those with technically knowledge will know how to do it. Therefore, 90% of the female population and 60% of the male population in this world is not suitable to use WM6.5.

Iphone on the other, is so damn smooth and so simple to use. I would recommend an Iphone over that shitty WM6.5 anyday.

I’ve been using a Windows Mobile 6.5 for 6 months with JJ custom ROM. I couldnt handle it anymore, i switched to an Iphone. I think that was the best decision I have ever done.

Many points are moot. Those saying that only WinMo can have TomTom, Opera Mini, SkyFire, playing video, recording video etc. Today, iPhones have all of the above plus more.

You could be correct about a few things: non removable battery, no additional storage card, etc.

But many points were either wrong even at the time, or no longer valid today since they were merely about apps, but the bashers put it as if it’s the platform’s fault. It’s like saying Apple doesn’t have Microsoft Office, well, wrong isn’t it.

@Rummhy
Rummhy time to get some facts right.
GPS out of the box: Use Maps all the time (it gets me places)
Bluetooth out of the box: Can be turned on in settings (Use it in my car)
Storage Card: What’s the point when you have MobileMe (One less thing to lose)
Stylus: Steve Jobs said in the Keynote for the 1st iPhone YOUR FINGER IS THE BEST POINTER Stylus’ are outdated
Video Recorder: In the camera app which is a default app which works on 3G,GS,4
And a un cluttered home screen one word FOLDERS
And remember iOS 4 is the worlds most advanced mobile operating system.

I get such a thrill watching pretentious iPhone fan boys talking nonsense about their phones. They don’t seem to realise just how poorly constructed they are, the lack of features they have and how even though it’s costing £500 PAYG or upwards of £60 a month on contract that the mobile never actually belongs to them. What kind of a company locks down every feature and then charges more to enable a little customisation? The only way out is to risk Jailbreaking and bricking the phone…oh and voiding the warranty.

It dissapoints me that iPhones continue to dominate the market when the technology is 3 years behind HTC. I’ve owned HTC’s for the past six years and would never give them up. With more powerful processors and a better array of out of the box work apps they really are the nuts, and there is an app for practically anything. The only upside to the iPhone is a decent selection of games, only because developers have jumped on the bandwagon. I hope that MS/HTC focus on using up all of the processing power they have over iPhones and work on developing better 3D games to rival Apple. With MS having their own team of skilled game developers i can’t understand why they don’t do this and totally wipe the floor with Apple. Doing so would bring in a new market and expand beyond the ‘office oriented’ market that HTC appeal to at the moment.

P.S. Why is it cool to own Apple? iPad, iPhone, iPod….they are overpriced, underdeveloped accessories with no practicality for self concious fan boys.

It really sucks that WM is losing market share. I have an iPAQ hw692 with WM5 and it outperforms the iPhone 3G in several areas. Tell me, iPhone 3G users, have you got all this? GPS out of the box? MS Office (or iWork) out of the box? Physical Keyboard? Removable battery? Storage card port? Charging stand? Bluetooth out of the box? Stylus? Video recording out of the box? Non-cluttered and organized Homescreen? Let me know how much of that any iPhone has.

In about year 2005 (not sure) I bought Eten 600+ (It is smaller then Iphone) on WM 5, I was able to upgrade it till WM 6.1, was able to run any software needed (big choice between different software developers, a lot of freeware) and still can use it with same productivity as ever but I just got tired of the same communicator (mostly of same shape and it looks very used now). Just purchased HTC on WM 6.5 and same story, very productive, compatible with everything and yes you need antivirus. Since in my profession I need 2 phones, ones (by friend’s recommendation) I got my first (and last) Iphone. I discovered that, yes, menus are very simple, you can activate some apps (no choice usually), you need pay for but it still ok (nasty thing is when internet fails in download and activation process, you loose your money and need to start again), it is not compatible with most (maybe all) non I** devices. I really have never seen Iphone as a working machine, it is and will be only a user friendly phone you can do funny “fart noises” with. My verdict is: WM is a multipurpose, auto sufficient platform (very efficient for business), Iphone is for calls and fun (mostly kids under 12 and not working housewife’s) they are not so sensible to inexperienced user.

Me personally I dont own a HTC with Windows Mobile 6.5, BUT I do own a Ipaq Classic Handheld 110 series Pocket PC and I can just look to that as a comparison to say the Ipod touches and I just scratch my head. I mean, I want to like them but compared to my Windows Mobile 6 classic device I am sorry but my Windows Mobile 6 classic device from 07 crucifies the Ipod Touches. Superior apps for everything and dotn even get me started on the mp3 capabilites and movie capabilities of the Ipaq. AND Skyfire works on my Ipaq. I love it. Full flash real web sites. Apple seems to be trying to auction tv on line with their Iphones for 10 dollars a month. Microsoft has been doing that for years with Windows Mobile AND not chatrging for it. The websites exist on line for tv watching. I can do it through the simplistic Internet Explorer Mobile web browser. I dont understand, why wont Apple admit that Microsoft does it all right? WHY!? I guess its like Rocky 4. Rocky wins but people just dont wnat to admit it.

THAN I started finding out about the Windows Mobile 6.5 devices… WOW! Just when I thought that Windows Mobile couldnt get any better, IT DID!

What also keeps me a fan and adament Microsoft and Windows Mobile user is the three strand cord that is Microsoft: Stability, reliability, and productivity. All Apple does is make superficial products with lots and lots of hype. THeir raves through their commercials have been debunked, AND debunked by some of their own users.

End conclusion: If you want to suceed in an ever changing world, buy Windows Mobile phones… And I will be using my Ipaq for years to come for all of my business, entertainment, and media needs.
