[Touch HD General] hannawald:
my experience

Hello everybody,

may be I can help someone posting here my experience with iphone. I had the iPhone 3G for about 3 months. I used to be a WM user for a long time (Qtek S200, LG KS20)...I´ve decided to buy iPhone because of its georgeous screen and browsing capabilities. Overall I was quite satisfied but there were some issues I was angry for..I have sold my iphone and decided to buy touch HD..

my only concern with touch hd is the display..the resolution on touch hd is great..I have seen the display on touch diamond and colors were OK..but will I see something outside under the direct sun? iphone was great regarding sun visibility..my previous WM phones (S200, KS20) sucks (almost unusable)...

I was also impressed by touch experience with iphone, but as I tried diamond this was also a big improvement over S200, KS20. All reviews say that touch hd is really close to iphone, so I am not afraid..

The games are really nice on apple iphone..the graphics is incredible and they are built for iphone accelometer - you don´t find anything like this for touch hd because the developers count with dpad...and these stunning games are really cheap (I had several for 1 dollar each and really great)

Well, why did I get rid of the iphone?

I was afraid to jailbreak because of the waranty. I know we are hacking our WM phones, but I think HTC never claimed that this can break your waranty..

Safari starts very fast and browsing was a breeze..but I couldn´t post replies on my beloved web page (I don´t know why, whether it uses java...and I am not interested why, I want to use it)..about every 15 minutes Safari crashed...starting it once again was a matter of few secs, it is really fast, but I don´t have a data plan..just wifi at home...I downloaded some pages at home and wanted to see them while going out with my dog..but Safari crashed after a while...) well, you can´t do anything about it because Apple will never allow other browsers get into your iphone.

When somebody sent me phone number in sms, I had to rewrite it on paper and create new contact manually..how convenient! When I wanted to forward an sms, no chance...well no copy - paste is sometimes annoying.

When I wanted to play a movie in my iphone I had to convert it... (I know the issues with touch HD with video playback but these can be solved I guess...you can´t do anything with Apple...because it´s big Steve)

I like drag and drop, I don´t want to use iTunes:o) I don´t want to pray for changes is Apple firmwares...I believe in work of xda developers, if I am not satisfied with certain SW I would like to try another one (Opera is not the only browser, others are in development) I want to be free...if I am bored with certain look of my phone, I would like to change it. I want to have maps im my phone, not to be limited to data plan (what if you are abroad)? I want to know how many sms I am sending (it means how many characters I have already written)...I have also found some bugs in Apple fw (for example phone stopped to ring loudly, after swithing off and on, everyzhing OK, but where is the praized stability??? it´s the same as WinMo)

Well, in the end of the day I don´t want to be part of Apple community - I want to decide, what is best for me..I don´t want to rely on Apple updates and I don´t want to say on forums "I realize I don´t need it, Steve is right..." I want to be free what I do with my phone.
