Well........here are the features I used on Windows Mobile that does not work 100% on iPhone:

Automatic SMS

Time Announcer

3rd Party Alarm Clock

Customizable Homescreen

Tweakable Slide to Unlock Screen

Watching Youtube Videos just like on a computer

Managing your files and documents just like on a computer

Flashlight on my Xperia

Using my Xperia's keyboard as a portable keyboard for computers

Automatically recording phone calls when your call is being received

Automatically turning the phone off to save battery at midnight

Automatically muting the ringer during school hours

Triggering a countdown which will activate my ringer after 30 minutes

Drawing artistic pictures on the phone with the stylus

Using 3rd party MP3 Player as a home screen plug-in

Swapping multiple SD Cards from the phone as if they were DVDs and Video Cassettes

No need to install software or iTunes to access the phone's storage memory

Customizing the interface or layout of your device, home screen, and dialogue boxes or skinning just about anything that you want to skin

Also, if your phone's screen is damaged you can use your computer to emulate the screen so you can you use your phone with a mouse and computer screen.

The iPhone can not support such applications or features because the iPhone OS does not support background applications or because apple doesn't implement the stuff that careless consumers don't use.

Windows Mobile wins again.

If Windows Mobile could not work as my personal assistance and scheduler than I would never use a Windows Mobile phone again.

no freedom to put files I want on it and access them I got a ebook lib on my pc iphone ebook apps don't just let me read them

still no good multitasking when I exit fring I'm signed off

issues if the batt died can't just put in another

pretty closed hard to make a program and share it with friends

a developer is required to have a mac and have to pay for the ablility to put free apps on appstore and opensource is a no go

jailbreaking result in issues when new firmware is released no jailbreaking result in what apple wants only software

My reason for not switching? HTC Hero is better in my opinion.

Don't feed the apple troll guys. It has been stated million times that the iCrap lacks ESSENTIAL features that even a feature phone has out of the box. The iFanboys can't cope with the fact that they have spent their money for a bunch of outdated garbage.

Yes, my feature phone was always able to make calls without crashing phone.exe :cool:

I have a few reasons:

- HTC is my favorite phone company.

- Everyone (in the US) has an iPhone, Oringality > Clone

- I like Windows Mobile (dunno why everyone hates it).

- I'm new but, XDA Support is irrereplaceable.
[Off-topic] doctorfugazi:
I'm a diehard mac user from birth, but after completing my first rom flash for my g1 recently I have no problems in saying that HTC will be my mobile choice no matter what the carrier or os.

One month after I copped my g1 ADP1.5, an iphone 3g fell in my lap for $50. 3g great condition, sure why not. What a let down. After I had to pay to get the iphone jbroken I let my gf use my g1. After that I spent one month in iphone hell, as every other second I would find myself stuck because it lacked basic features that I had become used to on my g1. In the mean time my gf falls in love w the g1 after breaking up a crappy samsung flip. She went from ford pinto to mercedez benz over night.

Besides the features, the iphone didn't get reception in my office. Which wouldn't have been a problem if my office wasn't ... IN MY HOME!

Ok that's it....I gotta go...batteries about to die on the g1. Something I could careless about, cuz I know allz well when I turn it back on.

[Off-topic] crazy talk:
nothing. i am switching back. i cannot handle the crappiness that is resistive touchscreens (Capacitive like my ass) and a horrible browser experience. not to mention finding programs that, you know. work decently and look good.

i tried to love it. i really did. it just does not do what i need. and even if i can on Winmo i felt like i was fighting the phone to do it.

and Kudos to the people that actually try different devices instead of just bashing them based off 10 minutes playing with one in a store.

[Off-topic] mikeeey:
because I'm going to get this phone!

very simple, easy to make calls... but packed inside this thing is dual core/3D acceleration. It'l play quake 3 at 30fps! Not to mention I'll be able to finally play GBA and SNES games at full framerate with sound, something I've wanted to do since my very first windows mobile smartphone.

Then I'll buy and ipod TOUCH, not the phone. I think the ipod touch is a great multimedia device, especially since hackers mod it so much, there's so many things you can do it it. But I don't think it's worth being a phone.

I hate my Iphone envy...

But I DO envy the Iphone, and that is why I'm here. I thought for sure once I saw the WM 6.5 on the touch pro 2 that it would be as good as Iphone. But the web browsing SUCKS. I've always been on the windows side of things, but everytime I surf the web on an Iphone there is NO comparison. WM SUCKS and badly compared to Iphone.

I just want the links to work and the videos to play and the forms etc.

It seems like all that stuff works on the stupid Iphone, why is it taking windows so long, (choke) to catch up?!!! WTF it's embarrassing man.
[Off-topic] zzl0919:
I agree with this,iphone is to play but to use
[Off-topic] addicus:
Because an unleased beta was suppose to be the end all be all of OS interfaces? Plus Mobile 7 is going to be made to interface with the newer technology of today's phones and will not has the hold back factor of having to be backwards compatible for phones that were made in 2002.

You guys realize WM is basically 3 technology waves old but still viable on our phones although not maxing them out to their abilities. I think that's one hell of a feat when most OS become obsolete after the very next technology wave emerges.
[Off-topic] mrcrassic:
I owned an iPhone from October to January, then downgraded to an iPod Touch from February to March (or April) and went back on Windows Mobile by May or so.

It pretty much comes down to this: If you want a phone that's super pretty, super usable, super fast and that JUST WORKS, you get an iPhone. In doing so, you have to play by Apple's rules, which is a consequence of having a phone that works so incredibly well.

However, if you want a device that puts YOU in control, from choice of device to choice of UI and application development, then you go Android or Windows Mobile. Additionally, if you need a "true" business device (sorry, folks; a virtual keyboard doesn't cut it at the moment) that works well with Exchange and helps you get things done, then you stick to Windows Mobile or Blackberry (which is just as closed in as the iPhone is).

I loved the iPhone, but the virtual keyboard and "closed-ness" of the platform turned me off to it. Further, I realized that after jailbreaking and customizing it, it becomse just as slow and unreliable as any other smartphone. I also really, really, really wanted additional storage space. (8GB is NOT enough.) Windows Mobile is definitely old hat in this game, but the fact that it still works incredibly well and still offers a very useful tool set (for me) makes it the right choice.
[Off-topic] mrcrassic:
Oh, and I also hated how everyone and their mother (literally) has an iPhone, and that I didn't have that edge. I almost always had a phone that was either outdated (thus, nobody had it anymore) or out there (which, again, meant that nobody had it).

I see hardly anyone with a Fuze, and that makes me happy. Small, subtle and hardly important...but comforting. :)

[Off-topic] orb3000:
Perfect words I agree with!
[Off-topic] newuser888:
The only thing that keeps me from having an iPhon now is the lack of $$$. Once I have saved enough, I'll be there in no time.

I love its virtual keyboard after playing with it, even much more than any phone with dedicated hardware keyboard. It is iincredibly customizable, contrary to what many are saying. My cousin's iPhone now looks like a HTC Hero, and it was like Palm Pre before this. The applications are so well designed, functional, and plentiful.

I think there is a perception that you will be controlled by Apple and would not be able to do many important thing, but this is only when you want to subject yourself to that control. Apple has put the users in the jail, but the key is still on the keyhole. It is up to the users to simply walk out. Apple can say whatever it wants and try to call that illegal, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd simply ignore all the rhetorics and go ahead to jailbreak. ;)

I used an iphone 3 gs for 2 weeks loved it.Reactive the apps where much cheaper then the winmo apps.I dumped it for the rhodium keyboard junkie.

Been a windows mobile user since SPV E200 and lastly htc touch pro 1 that i lost.

The I phone is an excellent device though.
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
Ditto on that. People are so gullible. If everyone else has it, they feel they have to get one even if they can't fully utilize the device. I know so many people who have the iPhone but never syncs their device. They only use the cable to charge. That means, they use the iPhone just as they would an old-school mono-color-screen 1990's Nokia. Just voice calls and SMS.

It's really a shame. The smartphone Gods are angered...
[P3600 General] illuzn:
Hi all,

Just want to report that I've had some success with over/underclocking this device with ClockWizard (see attached zip file).

The only side effect I'm able to find is that activesync over USB is disabled until you soft reset the device.

I'm doing some testing now to see if it increases battery life when I underclock to 200mhz (the minimum recommended in the software).
[P3600 General] SuperSport:
For me, it put the Trinity into Airplane Mode, it just did not show it. When I ran TomTom, no data or GPS was available.
[G1 General] mdanerd:
seems like whenever i run an update.zip (superhero recent build is an instance) i get the same issues with each rom, i'm thinking when i do alt+w its not fully wiping the g1 and that theres another way for me to do it. mainly thinking this because some people are having paid apps issues where they have to run a command to fix permissions, etc. and i dont have to do that at all with any build so far...

thanks in advance and to the devs, keep up the good work, you guys seriously kick @$$.
[G1 General] mrcrs:
a wipe does exactly that... wipe.

what about you spl and radio?
[G1 General] mdanerd:
as far as i know i have the newest radio and spl, otherwise it just wouldnt boot up correct? for instance the main issue i have with the hero rom is that facebook photo sync causes crash in acore
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adeltaY:
Hey all, I was using SPB MS3 and went into the file explorer to find that the bottom bar of the lifestyle panel was stuck on the screen. This was annoying so I soft-resetted the device, but it didn't go away. I did a hard reset, and now it is really faint but it is still annoying, and I just flashed an entirely different ROM and it is even fainter, but still a problem.

Any way to fix this? I'll post screenies to make it easier to understand. :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
i think your refering to what is called "burn-in". When an image is left on an lcd screen for a long time, you can still see that image very faintly even after the image is removed from the screen. This is common for people who leave their lcd tv on one station for a long time and that stations logo gets "burnt-in" to the screen.

A solution to this is to make your entire screen white for about 10-15min. So get a .jpg or any picture thats just plain white, open it in album and view it in fullscreen for 10-15min and it should clear up your screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adeltaY:
Thanks for the advice, but it has gone now after a bit of use. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
Incredible I didn't think you could do that too easily with an lcd.

Did you leave the screen on when you went to sleep or something? You must have had it on one image for a pretty long time :confused:
[Touch HD General] kecikz:
Dear All,

Hi i'm wondering why ION won't flash on my HK Magic, is it something with hardware different? as far as i know that Haykuro magic root does not work on my phone. So i use daldroid and BAM i got it root.

Is there anyway to make all build compatible for all magic sold worldwide?

Is it somthing with HBOOT or SPL we can fix later?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] funfobia:
I use daldroid for fastboot and flash mod image.

Then apply Haykuro SPL update follow by Haykuro root access, push modified su with adb push to the system
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daldroid:
WARNING: the original SPL for your rom is newer than the modded one.

Your radio too. Someone reported it works on newer devices, but you'll not be able to restore the original as we don't have a copy.

My post reports that the daldroid rom has adb shell root access, You don't need to flash any other image (BOOT.img nor SPL) to be able to push the su file.

adb remount

adb push ....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] funfobia:
Thanks daldroid, i still have nandroid backup with me. But not sure which one is the original SPL that i can flash it back on. Can you help me out or is it not be able to backup by nandroid

boot.img

data.img

cache.img

misc.img

nandroid.md5

recovery.img

system.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daldroid:
You cannot use nandroid to backup the SPL.

I didn't find info on the correct way (if any available) to get the spl image dumping the rom.

If no way available, we'll have to way for an OTA update from htc including SPL and radio rom images.

So the root image of Palm's new webOS is officially out in the open:

http://www.precentral.net/pre-developer-rom-uncovered-could-lead-hackingcustomization

Is there any chance that this can be ported to run on winmo devices? I sure hope so :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] richabi:
Oh man! that would be dope. I'm keeping tab on this
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dickenz:
Doubt it guys webOS supports Multitouch (I could be wrong about it being able to be ported but logic would have it that it can't). And our WinMo phones don't.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djcaston:
Well I guess losing out on a portion of the UI isn't too bad right? Chances are that it could be configured to work with different gestures along the lines of TouchFlo and Opera
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dickenz:
I don't think you'll miss out on a portion of the UI. I know the gesture area at the bottom exists but there is no reason you'd cut it out due to multitouch support. We have plenty of gesture related apps on WinMo.

I think the problem resides in the fact that the entire OS supports multitouch so if it requires more than one touch to do certain things, you simply won't be able to do them. Which could hinder usability massively depending on how multitouch is implemented. Plus getting our screens to run webOS could be a massive issue, it's designed for a capacitive screen just like the iPhone OS. We have resistive screens. Unfortunately.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djcaston:
When i was referring to "a portion of the UI", the portion i was referring to was multitouch itself. I should have worded it differently. Thats a good point though. It would require a ton of customization and rewriting in order to work. Although android was also a challenge, and they've come pretty far with that also.
[G1 Apps and Games] rickyteddyb:
Ea mobile has said that they will release an android version of the sims 3. I have checked their website but there is no mention of the game. There is a video floating around the web showing an ea mobile representative talking about the game.

Now i do a basic google search on g1 the sims 3 and i find this website.

http://store.handmark.com/p/124778/Android/The-Sims-3-for-Android/HTC-G1

Is this possible or are they just trying to pull a fast one?
[G1 Apps and Games] axlastro:
I bet they did

I saw it too. It has the same screenshots for WM smartphones. I guess they did a quick java port of the game and are expecting people to pat 8$ for this ****. Gameloft are doing the same thing. Let's face it - with only 2 phones on the market and not - so - big market share, android phones won't get much attention by the big game developers. I'm glad I got my G1 only 2 months ago, I think there will be more an more interesting games coming in the near future.
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
for big games companies, android is just seen as another crappy j2me phone, unfortunately... let's hope easy native development will soon be possible (and better market share should help too)

Sims 3 on the g1? I doubt it. Have you seen the requirements for it running on a desktop? Lol my laptop, my moms desktop, or her laptop can't run it without replacing the graphics card. She just bought a new laptop last night just so she can play sims 3. I can't see this running on the g1.

Sims 3 is scheduled for a June 2nd release date on PC and Mac with the Android release to follow.

Hello to all. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me if a shortcut could be created with Bettercut/Anycut that would create a new message? I know that a direct shortcut to a specific contact can be created easily with these apps, but I was hoping a shortcut to a blank message that I could then choose the contact could be created. I use Chompsms as my default sms app (don't know if that matters) but would like the shortcut to use Chomp to create the blank message but the Android messaging app would be fine too. I know that Bettercut/Anycut have the make your own option and that it might be possible to create this shortcut that I am looking for. Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to create this shortcut myself and my searches have come up empty so far (I tried many forums with no success). If anyone would be willing to help me with this I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure others would as well. I know that it only takes a few seconds to open Chomp and click new message but a shortcut direct from the home screen would really be awesome. Thanks in advance for the help (If in fact this is even possible). I know this is probably really easy for a lot of the users here but im just no good at stuff like this. Hope someone can help.
