[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I don't think that with default Album the thumnails could be said to "load quite fast", sorry.

The iPhone resolution is already way exceeding what is needed for me. It is super fine in details already. No point in storing a 10 mb size photo when the only way to take advantage of it is with a 24 inch monitor, right?

I disagree that the scrolling in WM is anywhere "quite close" to the smoothness of iPhone. It simply can't do it without jerk, without either lag or going too fast. S2V is a good example.

Always-in-motion applies only to winmo finger scrolling. It is not a problem in iPhone. That's the reason why I said earlier that smooth scrolling capability is yet to come to winmo devices.

The lexisgoo in my HD is version 3.5. An example of a function that is only available on the iPhone version is that it is able to do translation from any language to any other language. So, effectively the iPhone dictionary is no longer just an English dictionary. If you're a Chinese user learning english, you could type in the Chinese word, and find the English word for it.

Many good applications in Applestore had their origin in Winmo or Symbian root. An example of that is one of my favourites expense tracking software called Pocket Money, which I really like. However, there are also many good applications that were created from scratch only after iPhone came into being. Please see my previous post for some examples.

Well, there is'nt any pape-up/down hardkey in HD, so I can't do this test. Are you still using scroll bar ?? Do you actually still prefer it?

Let's talk about the "glaring example" of user unfriendliness which in your mind is the email client then.

It is totally untrue to say that there is no multi-selection that let's you select the mails for deletion or to move it to another directory. I also thought like you in the begining when I first got my iPhone. For people familar with the iPhone interface, they would know that the edit button always lets you selectively touch the mails to select any number of them for deletion. The checkboxes will appear once you touch the edit button at the top right corner.

I use 5 email accounts. While switching between them is not a one touch operation, it could hardly be called difficult by any stretch of imagination.

With emails, a jailbroken phone can perform cut and copy already, but soon with firmware 3.0, you will no longer need to jailbreak to do this.

Lack of scrollbar?? Are you serious in naming scrollbar as an advantage in winmo? Page up and down? Why such a clumpsy method? You need to activate your soft keyboard, then click the page up and down. Is this easier than simply swiping it up and down? You must be kidding, right?

As for T9, it is actually available on iPhone is that is your preference.

For me, mail client is actually an example of where iPhone is leaving winmo in the dust. Why do I say that? Well, you can't display emails with graphics properly in winmo. You need to scroll left and right in order to read the mail. You often have difficulties reading the attachments. iPhone really excels in these areas. I can also do email to groups of contacts without having to add each reciepient one by one.
