change of mind.

I had a hands-on with a 3G today.

I hated that there was no smart-dial,

the black back had small but visable micro scratches almost within a few minutes (tried to wipe the finger stains with a cloth left a trail of small scratches..).

The GPS is useless (only to show googlemaps, but no real use furter).

Safary crashed (wasn't the software tested??).

no dock in the box..

But that, and a few other items* more made me cancel the order..

(*have to wait to get it cracked/jail broken, rediculess 3rd party apps rules.. etc)

There are plenty of new HTC devices to spend my money on, each with a better tweakability and usability.

And there are exciting new devices on the horizon like the Sony Ericsson Xperia (actually HTC builds the Xperia, but hey..).

So, nope, I won't buy an iPhone, i'll put my money on a new PDA..

Yay! Someone has seen sense! :)
[Off-topic] the-equinoxe:
LOL,

maybe I have seen sense, doesn't mean I make sense ;)

But from what I have seen, I think a lot of new iPhone owners will be disappointed.

Especially if they had a WinMo device in the past (with a decent ROM).
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
I think the ROM is (sometimes) more important than the device... :)
[Off-topic] Kraize:
I think the Rom and applications is the most important thing on the device (it can't be more important then the device because without the device there is no rom :rolleyes:) Let me just say it. If someone was able to port the WinMo OS to the iPhone, I would fall in love with it. I just don't like the OS. If I had the phone with WinMo on it, I'd absolutely love it. Someone should try and port WinMo to the iPhone. But I understand this would take complex knowledge and understand of WinMo :( I wish it was possible.

Kraize
[Off-topic] the-equinoxe:
I second that, an iPhone with WinMo would be awsome.. :)

But it's really hard to get any of the the drivers going, let alone all plus the multitouch..

He/She who would be able to port WinMo to the iPhone really has way too much spare time :p

(But would still be my personal hero)
[Off-topic] Kraize:
Lol. I would worship whoever ports fully working WinMo to iPhone. He/She would probably have no life :P but all jokes aside it would be a huge seller for the iPhone market. People would buy it only to port WinMo to it haha.
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
It would take an intimate knowledge of the iPhone too... Or a bootloader built from scratch for the iPhone...

The only good thing about the iphone is it doesnt crash. So now you want to port wm into it so it will crash?
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
Umm... Not true... When I played around with an iPhone (a release device) it crashed when I got SMS messages...
[Off-topic] pvs:
I don't hate the iPhone...

I don't plan on procuring one, either, being very satisfied with my Hermes. I DO understand and agree with most of the messages posted here, finding our WM devices to be more flexible and feature-rich than Apple's latest gadgets. But hatred is such a powerful word, and these are, after all, just devices ... tools, and toys.

But I AM curious, if so many folks are so down on iPhone, to the point of saying suicide is better, why oh why are there SO MANY THREADS that are giving us WM users just what we

claim

to hate so much ... iPhone UI's, iPhone-like music players, iPhone Iconsets, iPhone Task switchers, etc etc etc.

It seems there are - in actuality - MANY folks who wish their WM devices were actually iPhones, no? Many who are sold on the iPhone UI and graphics. Many who are clamoring for the smooth and fast responsiveness of that "hated" device. I dunno, maybe it's just to try to "show" the iPhoholics out there that our devices CAN look like theirs (but theirs can't look like ours?) Whatever the drive, there's a lot of momentum behind it.

Just some observations, I'm not looking to start any wars here...

-pvs
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
That to me is one of the biggest advantages of WM.

It can look like any other platform!

I dislike the iPhone because it is so limited - it only does what Apple want it to - whereas WM can do anything I've thrown at it so far.
[Off-topic] bartybet:
You are few and far between.
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
A quick search seems to say otherwise...
[Off-topic] pvs:
Yeah, agreed, but I'm having trouble getting my Hermes to:

1) Make me breakfast on time every morning

2) Tie my shoes (it's REALLY not good for that)

3) Wash my car

But I think iPhone won't do those things, either, so the "race" goes on. ;)

I meant "within reason"...

I think there is a phone that can do that though!

Here, no i[whatever] products.

Thanks to the sheer weight of issues the "i" product line.

I still remember the iPod update software = your $300 device is now an awesome doorstop or paperweight and Apple was not doing jack about it until the volume of anger on the net got to big to ignore.
[Off-topic] zeezee:
Yeah...8125->8525->8925 WM 4ever!...and an iphone paperweight that is up for grabs lol. not that anyone reading this thread would want one :o
[Off-topic] Kraize:
I would want one! :D Idc. I mean an iPhone is not worth $200 IMHO, but a free iPhone is a free iPhone. I would certainly get it. I mean if the iPhone was like $50, I would certainly get it (Don't flame me for that T.T) But seriously. I didn't buy the iPhone before because it was in the same price range as my AT&T tilt and at the time the tilt was more capable. Now, if the iPhone was like $100, you could bet that I would've gotten it instead and I'm willing to bet that A LOT of people here would've done the same if their ppc was $300 and the iPhone was $100. (I know some wouldn't too so it goes both ways!). I know I'm probably going to get flammed a lot for that lol.

Have you actually held the thing in your hand? Have you turned it over and over, fingering the edges? ....Really, have you?

I went to the temple today. I saw it with my own eyes.

I was impressed.

It doesn't have USB hosting. It's expensive. Yada yada. It's a fashion statement with posers lined up two blocks down the street. But damn, the thing is beautiful !! If you have only seen youtube videos or ads on TV or pictures, it really isn't the same. You've got to hold it in your hand. The thing is really exceptionally beautifull. It reminded me of an industrial design art show exhibit I saw once with toaster ovens and lamp posts and toilet seats. Never minding the technology. Art is difficult to figure why it is. You know it when you see it but you don't know why or what it is.

Afterwards I went down the street to the Sprint Store and looked at the Touch and the Instinct.... Not even close.

But then again it is only on O2 :p (T-Mo ftw)

From the moment I heard about the iPhone (1st gen) and how "revolutionary" it will be I was thinking well what are they going to do most smartphones don't do now, and after seeing WM 6.1 and using the iPhone, WM was sold to me in seconds, iPhone is nothing more then a lame excuse for them to try and push into the market

Man ya'll some haters, I'll probably never own an iPhone but even I had to chuckle at the 3g commercial came on touting the new iPhone killer as well the new iPhone 3g. It was totally a needed slap in the face to the other phone companies. I welcome the iPhone as much as I hate it.
[Off-topic] Caferacer:
It's waaaay over-rated.

As it is, you have to jailbreak it to install any worthwhile apps. The apps you can install without voiding the software side of your warrenty can only run when open and taking up the screen... meaning no passive apps. As soon as you minimize an app from the app store, the iphone kills the app.

This was done to prevent 10 apps from bogging the phone down running in the background, but what about apps like WiMo has? S2u2 is passive, and although it is an iphone rip-off at heart, it's basis (a passive app that brings great functionality to a phone) cannot be duplicated because of the way apple designed the phone. Ultimate-launch, new messaging clients, all of that good stuff can't be done on the iphone like it can on WiMo

I feel there will never be a community similar to xda-dev with the iphone for this reason. Sure, devs are flocking now, but this tight knit group developing for free will never happen.

I find it funny that wimo is the open and freely developed and modified mobile OS, and apple, with their mobile OS based on Unix (and is a long sister to linux) is the closed off mobile OS. I would like to see how long a website would last that freely posted images of apples OS for the iphone, like we do with roms here.
[Off-topic] Caferacer:
Also to continue my rant, the iphone is deliberately designed to NOT be repaired. There is no way to get into the case without breaking the entire thing apart. Not even the battery is accessible. What the hell apple, what the hell.

[Off-topic] ericc191:
I think if HTC got serious and devoted some of it's profit to a solid marketing team, they could do a lot and make quite an impact. Many people, like myself, did not even know phones like HTC existed. After trading a DC Race Header (2002 Civic Si) of all things for a Cingular 8125, I will never again use anything other than a PPC.
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Iphone is like swatch watches use it and then to the trash!

Good marketing, extreely good, that´s the fact, so all not smart people will be caught by apple to buy the controled and limited youngsters most wanted phone.

WinMo should be more efficient that´s a fact, but it has unlimited posibilities.

This forum is the best proof of it

Long live to UNIVERSAL!!!

[Off-topic] hotrod101:
Well the IPhone Looks nice, Looks like it is fun to use, has some nice features; however, my HTC Touch looks nice, Acts nice, is fun to use and has lots of nice features as well and there is so much more you can do with it that the IPhone can't do. I love my phone that I wouldn't consider switching to the IPhone. All I really need to make me completely happy is a 16 gig micro SDHC card or even better a 32 gig micro SDHC card.

What I like about the IPhone is the LARGE SCREEN, Multi touch capabilities and motion sensor to automatically rotate the screen to Landscape. Hopefully soon these features will be standard on all new HTC Devices.
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
Multi-touch will only be available in WM7, as WM6 does not contain the capabilities to utilise it.
[Off-topic] hotrod101:
COOL. But will a simple upgrade to WM7 be enough to grant multi touch capabilities to any phone? I am thinking that the screen on my touch elf would still not support it. Am I right?
[Off-topic] l3v5y:
Your Touch would not support it.

There is some speculation as to whether the Raphael and Diamond would be able to support it, but it may need completely new devices.
[Off-topic] hotrod101:
I can't wait to see what these new devices will be like. The IPHONE will have much more serious competition once these are released if these devices are developped properly. I find myself getting excited to see what's comming next for WM devices. It would be nice to see the new WM Devices having breakthrough technology that even impress all these hard core IPhone users (hopefully making them all jealous and wishing they had one)

My wife has an iPhone 3G. While I will say that my Tilt and previous 8525 out and out trumps the iPhone in terms of raw power and ability, I get a little pang of jealousy whenever I play with her phone and see how silky smooth the interface is.

I mean, we have s2p to combat the music player, but, wow! The way it scrolls in cover flow is like butter.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] will4958:
OK, fellow S4 owners, I have a little problem that's been driving me nuts for the past few days. I purchased a XBox One, set it up fine with no issues. No issues, that is, until I reached the point where I had to sign into XBox Live. For whatever reason, it won't even take me to the sign in screen. As soon as I hit the Add Account button, I get a message saying my home network may need to be checked. Why is he posting this here, you might ask? Good question... the answer is because I'm using my hotspot as the connection for the XBox One. All connection tests are fine, no issues detected except a moderate NAT setting, but that shouldn't prevent one from signing into XBox Live, especially since it worked on the 360 I traded in for the One. Has anyone else tried to use their S4 or any other hotspot with an XBox One and been able to add their account, and if so, what did you have to do to get it to work? Any help is greatly appreciated, because otherwise I just bought a $200 blue ray player. Thanks in advance.

By unlocked or locked, do you mean that it is carrier locked or that it has it's bootloader locked?

If you are talking about carrier lock, then by all means, you want to buy an unlocked phone.

If you are talking about bootloader lock, then you most likely want to go for a locked phone, that way, you can use things such as warranty, should you need it.
