And BTW, the web browsing is also WAY better. Again, there is just no comparison, even with Opera.

To me, the biggests problem with the iPhone is lack of 3G, no A2DP, and poor poor PIM syncing and no GPS. Strengths, video playback, multimedia syncing, speaker playback (the speakers although small, are actually quite passable and stereo), photo viewing and web browsing.

I don't play many games, but I would consider it a strength of the iPhone. Not sure about the Tilt.

As for 3rd party apps, my (very personal) opinion is there are very few "must have" apps and the one's I use on the Tilt (Resco, ImClose, AEBPlus) are all about usability and do not really apply to the iPhone. A BIG factor here is that most of the built in MS Apps basically $uck, like the photo viewer, file manager, media player, web browser, so it is almost a must to have the option to install decent apps to "replace" the built in ones. In this way, I think HTC is really doing well in mitigating the poor usability of the MS Apps. Like being able to navigate a playlist with a hardware button? No can do with Windows Media Player mobile. WTF???

You can see this even with the HTC shipped products. Their stuff is better that MS too, and many people come here to look for the HTC programs, many even cook them into ROMS.

So now I have to have room for two apps that do the same thing and it basically clutters up my device. Sort of like the 4 remotes I have to use just to watch TV at home. To me this is poor implementation.

So I am probably in the monority here, but once the iPhone supports GPS, a decent turn by turn navigation program like Tom Tom/ iGo and A2DP, and better syncing, I will be dumping my Tilt (much the same way as I have dumped MS Windows). I expect most of these features will come by the end of 2008.

And if this community is SO helpful, how about sharing details on your video encoding specs, because after weeks of trying, I can't seem to find anything that works, and I have posted 3 times about it and get only a handful of responses.

You must have a cool job where you "work" and watch videos at the same time ?!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Actually, it's only a small wait now untill Opera Mobile 9 is released (H1 of 2008 I believe) which will (apparently) be the ultimate Mobile Browser.

Probably not a good idea to log into a forum and show disrespect to it's other members.

As for your question, to view movies I simply use TCPMP with a few codecs (which I can't remember the names of, sorry) and videos work like a charm.

I also use Kingdia Video Converter to convert my movies to .avi (if they're not .avi already), then use Ashampoo Movie Shrink & Burn to compress the movie to QVGA size. Brilliant Quality, small File size, win win win!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkDvr:
imo, iPhone is a joke.

You pay for a PDA and get a fancy, bulky cell phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] memnoch_thedevil:
You clearly have not played with one much. The iPhone is smaller, lighter, thinner, and much more aesthetically appealing than the Tilt. In February, Apple is releasing SDK for third party Apps, and a GPS attachment (here: http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/12/17/gps-add-on-for-the-iphone-demonstrated-to-ship-in-february/

is supposed to be in the works as well. And I suppose not unlike the Tilt, I could always Jailbreak my iPhone, and put homebrew on it, but the iPhone was designed to be a lot harder to take care of if something goes wrong, like the battery not taking a charge any more, you would have to send it in to Apple, but you couldn't because of breaking the warranty. At least with the Tilt, you can put back what you have done to at least get repairs lol....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
By community I mean the forum in general. It is the method of communication I am speaking to not the individual members. I fully realize many people have contributed lots of work and advice, and I try to do the same when I am able, but by nature of this being an open ended forum, you don't always find answers to your questions. It can be hit or miss. It just depends sometimes if someone happens to see your post and have an answer. How is that disrespectful?

Back on point, I think this forum is helpful in learning about Windows Mobile products and sometimes getting specific questions answered. This is something also available via Apple, in addition to dedicated product support, which both Apple and HTC offer. If I were considering it as a factor in buying a product, I would score one for the Tilt, as I think this forum is better than the Apple forum, but I would score one for Apple as well because I think their dedicated support is better (stateside anyway, plus it helps I have both an official and unofficial store near me and can walk in and talk to a person).

But are you also sure there isn't another "undocumented" forum much like this one for the Apple products, because BTW HTC also has a forum which leaves a lot to be desired.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] we3zy:
Well I love PPC, but obviously you must not have owned an iPhone. I switched back to Windows Mobile for technical reasons, but I have to say we're far away from the iPhone UI. PointUI has a long way to go, everything in the iPhone is connected.

I still surf with Safari, when I have free time, and sitting in front of the TV at home.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
lol I just came back from the iphone myself.

Like you, I wanted it for video playback. The screen is great and video playback was smooth.

But there were too many basic things that you couldn't do even with jailbreaking the phone that just left me annoyed.

if you don't mind re-encoding your video the tilt is fine. I re-encoded all my videos to slightly smaller res and put it into an mp4 container and played it on coreplayer. Video Playback is smooth, but it could be smoother with better driver support. But I'm not complaining.

To me, the Tilt spins circles around the iphone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P996:
Not sure how far your computer skills go but trust me, the iPhone is more of a computer than the HTC TyTN II. ;)

You seem to miss the point of the iPhone (the ingenius GUI/OS/touch operation), forget about the crappy EDGE and the lousy camera, this is not why people buy the iPhone.

Watching movies/listening to music is more fun with the iPhone due to the fantastic display quality.

Right now, I'm using three phones: the iPhone (hacked, has more than two dozends of third party apps installed and works like a charm), the HTC TyTN II (business stuff) and the Nokia N95 8GB (family vacations, leisure time).

My favourite is still the iPhone but I wish Apple would have offered it with UMTS/HSDPA from the start.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P996:
Only when it comes to third party apps and especially data connections.

Otherwise, the iPhone is by far superior. Of course if you don't mind the sluggish GUI operation of the TyTN II, not even mentioning the ridiculous touch screen operation HTC wants to sell us as innovative, the TyTN II really is a great phone. ;) Don't get me wrong: the iPhone lacks a lot of features but using it on a daily basis as my main phone, I like it much more than the TyTN II or the Nokia N95 8GB. I won't even mention the Nokia E90 which sleeps well in an office drawer since I got the iPhone. ;)

The iPhone is no business phone though, no blackberry support, MS Exchange support is half-baked at best and although the mail application is the best I've ever seen on a phone, the PIM capability is somehow limited compared to other "smartphones".

There is however a catch regarding the iPhone: if you're not a regular and enthusiastic iTunes customer, the iPhone may not satisfy you completely.

The ingenius thing about the iPhone is the easy operation and for the first time finally a satisfying touch control operation.

I did the same... replaced my iPhone for a Tilt and I have no regrets :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
how long did yours last? Mine lasted for a day. After that, things just bugged me too much. The killers were that setting up an IRC client was major ***** and browsing the web without wifi was slower than hell. I couldn't take it. Being forced to use Itunes was worse than I ever thought imaginable ( I hate ipods. Cowon and Archos > Ipod ).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dgduris:
You need an N95!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jez83uk:
Not to knock the the iphone or the tilt, but why have just one device? Splash out £200 and get an eee, which would be far superior for watching movies.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Out of curiosity, what do people think of this?

I can understand a GPS attachment, but an SDK?

The way I see it (and feel free to correct me :)), is iphone users (or at least the large majority of them), bought the iphone as they thought it the "next step up" from an ipod. In my experience i've found that the large majority of iphone owners have very little software development skills, so releasing an SDK for the iphone will probably sound good to about 1% of iphone owners :p

What do you think?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
I'm amazed at the level of hype still surrounding the Iphone - some of the more "frothing" posts here are nothing short of hilarious :)

I've tried the iphone, it's very pretty and the video and browsing is great, but it's not for me. Whichever way you cut it, there are just too many shortcomings - too many "I didn't really want that anyway"-style compromises, that will come to lay heavily on most of its users over the next 18 months/2 years that they're all locked into it. For me, it doesn't matter that I barely send one picture message a year - when my wife sends me a snap she's taken with a cheap walkman phone, I expect my expensive high-end device to be able to show it to me.

As much as the UI-obsessed may snort at Windows Mobile, it's a swiss-army knife of an OS that the Iphone simply can't compare with. The Tytn II is a powerful PDA that meets business needs Apple simply don't consider and does all the fun stuff as well - perhaps not quite as slickly as the Iphone, but frankly - so what? Show me an Iphone that can seamlessly integrate with MS Exchange, or connect at broadband speed on the train, or edit a spreadsheet, or find my way home, or even produce a decent tactile keyboard, and I'll start to worry that my ripped DVD's don't look quite so good. Show me an Iphone that can cut and paste, and I'll listen to those claims of utter superiority with less of a grin on my face...

In the meantime, Apple (and its fans) would do well to respect a mobile OS that delivers so many abilities to so many people that they simply can't reach - yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MirrorminD:
wow that is a really uncalled for comment. first off the SDK is being released so software companies can start making apps not just homebrew ones like myself or many others. I am a mod at the largest iphone modding site and we have over 100 native apps for the iphone to run directly on it. We have solved mms, emus, games, and many other things. I also have a tilt as well and you really cant compare the two, it is like apples to oranges. Ignorant people amaze me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Once again... somebody posts before reading and understanding the post they are commenting on.

If you would have bothered to read even the first line of my comment, you would have seen "what do people think of this?". The question mark at the end of the sentence automatically opens the phrase up for opinions/comments.

The next few sentences are merely an overview of what I believe the iphone market is. You'll notice that I said "and feel free to correct me". Which (on some bizarre level) i suppose you have, or maybe not, as you have still not gave me evidence that more than 1% of iphone users are going to benefit from this SDK. And what are you talking about, "uncalled for comment"? It's a an opinion.

Ignorant people amaze me...

EDIT: Also, "I also have a tilt as well and you really cant compare the two, it is like apples to oranges". Well why have you got one? You're just giving me more evidence that iphone users are poser's. :)

Apples and oranges?

Well, there both fruit's... both have a "skin"...both have a large percent of water.. :D

First off, it's silly to type with single letters. Second, I'm telling you because it's a relevant topic to a forum that I'm a member of; I thought that was the point of forums existing? Douchebag.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cmgarcia:
Or, I'll just replace it myself. When a Hermes' or Kaiser's screen malfunctions, do you send it off or do you replace it yourself? It's not impossible to change the iPhone's battery, it's just not meant for the end-user to do so, just as the end-user isn't meant to change out a HTC screen or cable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
Hmm, a bit sexist but how's this analogy?

iPhone = Sexy playmate that you can have fun with, but none of you friends can relate to her because she is just a bit to shallow and bubbly. In fact, you might not even introduce her to your more serious acquaintences because even though they will never admit to their twinge of jealousy, they will out-and-out proclaim the relationship is eventually doomed to fizzle. She expects you to never discuss work after you leave the office and to stop and ask for directions when you're lost. She has many stylish outfits, but nothing quite compares to the experience when she is naked and a pinch in the right spot will make her giggle.

Kaiser = Svelt, athletic career woman who will challange you to keep up in the boardroom. She will willingly banter office politics over dinner and can provide recommendations on the best resturants in the area. She appreciates your sense of adventure when travelling and if you mention stopping for directions she'll say "Don't we have a map?" She still looks good naked, but is equally suited to fine leather wrappings and although she can be difficult to get along with sometimes, she is compliant to change and you know just how to push the right buttons to get her humming.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
UH OH! Where does that leave the ladies who own Kaisers? :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GGW69:
Between myself and the folks I work with we have about a half dozen tilts and 3 iphones. We've swapped around a bit and I think we've all come up with the same conclusion.

For what it does the iphone is superior to anything out there. The interface is intuitive and much easier to use on a regular basis than any other, including the htc touch (which 2 of us are running on our tilts thanks to the folks on this forum). We each probably place about 50 calls a day and the iphone wins this one hands down for us. Browsing appears about equal between the two, but I believe if the tilt driver issues are fixed the tilt will pull ahead (at least until the iphone gets 3G). EMail and SMS/MMS are about the same though I think we all like the iphone interface a lot better. Video is much superior on the iphone. The Tilt exhibits a lot of jitter and other issues (I assume these are the video driver problem). We do video production though so might be a bit more critical of this.

However, as others have mentioned the iphone has no GPS (and we're finding ourselves using the Tilt GPS constantly) nor wide availability of 3rd party apps (something else we're beginning to use a lot). For all its faults the Tilts are much more versital.

MAJOR MAJOR drawback to iphone - You CAN'T travel internationally unless you can afford HUGE phone bills. ALL of our AT&T & T*Mobile phones are unlocked (O2 are being a PITA on this issue) and we have sims for everywhere we travel which not only saves a ton of money but makes local use much easier. For this reason alone nobody are buying anymore iphones. Apple will NOT allow ATT to unlock them as ATT does with every other phone they sell.

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] damac:
Normally I never quote full messages, but I have to say...

Wow!! Amazingly accurate analogy.

My elder brother got very impressed (dazzled?) with the iphone and bought one. Then one day we tried hooking up his gps from his previous pda (charmer), didn't work. We couldn't find any games to put on iphone. I kept showing off what all I could do with my Kaiser :)

After about 7 days of using iphone, he got bored of the sexy playmate and went and got himself a career woman :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
I don't know. As posters above said "can you watch movies on it?" is clearly subjective.

You can watch movies on it, but is just the ability to watch enough?

See this video of a movie being played on a Kaiser.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xeb8-m5opDA

I've never had this much trouble with video playback -- only when changing the volume does it become a problem -- but playback is quite OK when you aren't touching the screen.

Some users report playback this poor ALL the time. Some of us want to start a class action suite against the manufacturer about this. Knowing these facts you may not want to waste your money.

They are all singing girls just want to have fun. :)

Actually, I think you could easily swap the genders in my analogy. Swapping genders in the Cindy Lopper classic may have your buds lookin at you a bit sideways though, especially if you mimic the dance from the video whilst singing it...
