I love WM and sometimes i miss a FUN Application and Games that iPhone have but at all i can say that the iPhone is made for the Kids for peoples betwen 14 and 18 years :) Because the WM is more for Bussines Peoples etc.

So our HTC Phones are more Stylish for Example i use Blackstone.. we can`t even compare iPhone Vs Blackstone.

So if someday HTC start to support the device better and make new apps often some for bussines some just for fun... you know what will heppand.

I only don`t know one thing.

If i was a owner of HTC and i want to Grown Alot alot more... the 1st thing that i will do is More Support with ROM`s with Apps i can tell you with sure that if WM have the same FUN apps like iPhone and even better NO ONE WILL BUY an iPhone!!!

And i wonder why HTC don`t kick this iPhones from the Market they can do it very easy.

Even that we dont have alot WM apps made by HTC or other i still prefer to have a stylish bussines device that have many futures and potential in the future

So if you are under 18 then just buy iPhone :))))

I agree with that!

I've been a windows mobile user for a couple of years and while I love tweaking everything and writing apps in c#, I'm quickly growing tired of it falling so far behind the iphone and android. 6.5 is really just a new start menu and lock screen with WM2003 underneath. Back when I had a tytn I loved flashing new roms, but recently I've lot interest in it, especially when the benefits aren't really that great in terms of features.

My contract is up in January and at the moment I'm leaning towards an iphone. I like the look of android (plus I would be able to write apps for it in java), but it doesn't feel that complete to me.

My main uses for a phone are:

Web browsing - nothing beats the iphone here. Opera is nice but its painfully slow. Opera mini is also very good but the rendering doesn't look that nice.

Facebook - the iphone app is by far the best, and the windows mobile one is a joke.

Twitter - there are decent clients for all 3

Email (not push) - Pocket outlook isn't finger friendly, so its iphone or android here, but I haven't seen the android email client that much.

Writing apps - I'm happy to write java or C#, and hate objective C

Random apps - The iphone is a clear winner here

Golf scorecards with GPS - I wrote one for windows mobile, but nothing I can write could compare to apps like airvue for the iphone

Satnav - I love igo, so windows mobile wins here

Music - Once more, the iphone blows everything else away (S2P is nice, but still laggy on my diamond).

I think that if the HD2 was android then it would be a serious contender, but unless anything amazing comes out within the next 3 months I'll be jumping ship to the iphone (and probably jailbreaking it straight away).

Going back a year, I was one of the 'iphone haters', and I still hate the mac fanboy mentality of apple is best whilst blocking out all forms of logic and reason. Now I just want something which does everything I need easily and quickly.

18 months ago, if I knew I'd be thinking like this, I probably would've punched myself in the face.

same here.. i owned a o2 mini for years now using elf but when my contract finish.. hmmm 75% chance i will get iphone - hopefully by then it will have removable storage and radio..

1 i like from iphone is speed - and almost (never?) crash..
[General Topics] bb69:
I'm not an apple fanboy, I have an ipod touch but have never owned an iphone because I like to customise my phones too much & I know you can't really do that with an iphone. Having said that, I think it's so stupid how some people pretend that the iphone isn't a good phone just because they have some sort of issue with apple or the number of people that use their products. Say what you want about the closed OS or whatever, but I don't see how you can deny that the iphone completely changed the cell phone business and for the average user there are few phones that are as easy to use and have as an asthetically pleasing interface as the iphone.
[General Topics] twolf:
I do love the HTC design and style, but why is it always bad on hardware?

The ram and speed upgrades are always small and the video drivers are sad at best.

Its true, the WM ppcs were made for business, and never had a real "gamer liberation"... that, for me, is the problem with them.

I wanted a cheap ppc that could be, like the magician (qtek s100/s110), way ahead of its time.

All the phones I see around me are slower than my magician from 2003.

:(

Thats why I am starting to look at the iphone.
[General Topics] mallman:
oh really? Please explain. No you cant, that is completely false. Show me an alternate UI? So me multi tasking? Show me anything other than the possibility of changing an icon lol. The iphone is an app launcher, plain and simple. You simply cant customize it, you can just put different apps on it.
[General Topics] mallman:
i agree with what you say other than "aesthetically pleasing interface as the iphone"

How is a screen full of icons aesthetically pleasing? Its arguable that it isnt even a UI :) Just a program launcher

windows mobile, step your game up

I will switch to the iphone, but i will keep my touch hd 8285 just in case things get better for windows mobile. Its microsoft fault, if the the iphone had never come out we would not have 6.5 or 7. Wake up people, look how long it took to get updates. How can you let a new phone company beat you at your own game. Microsoft dropped the ball once again. I use Microsft XP because their is more software titles for it and now I will switch to the iphone because of more apps for it. A third grader could run windows mobile better than the clowns at microsoft. Give the people what they want. With all of that cash you have laying around you would think this would not be a problem. Step your game up Microsoft and do it quick.

95% of the apps for the iPhone are stupid and useless. The rest that are useful are already available for WM. Also, 90% of the time you don't need an app. Just going to the website gives you more and better than any app. Anyhow, good luck with your iPhone. I will never get any phone that does not allow me to anything I want with it (you can quote me on that).
[General Topics] gullum:
First of all I like to ask what on earth does this have to do with Development and Hacking?

And no I will not be switching to iPhone because windows mobile does what I need it to do. What my TD2 does not do with an app.. well most of the time is an app I might use once or twice in a couple months. or I can do it with Opera.

To,

And all iphone supporters,

Tell me how to do the FEW below mentioned things(Which my Touch HD can do) with iphone with latest OS 3.1.2.

1) Customising the size of email(like 2kb, text only, 20kb, etc) for Email body witha proper working Email client.

2) Internet tethering through wifi.

3) View Flash websites.
[General Topics] Blauvster:
I've never really used an iPhone (a couple of times i played on a friends), so I don't have an opinion one way or the other. But I do have a few questions:

Is there any sort of FTP server app that you can run(possibly in the background)? There is a pretty decent one on WM so you can manage files via wifi.

Any way to remote desktop into a PC?

How well do the BT protocols A2DP and AVRCP work? I use my phone(AT&T Tilt) as my GPS and audio player. By utilizing AVRCP I can change the songs via my cars stereo without needing to minimize the navigation program or interact with my phone at all.

Yes really iPhone is for noobs.. i have a friend using iPhone... when i was planning for a new mobile i was confused between TP2 and iPhone... after using iPhone i reallly thought why did i even had a doubt, straight away got my TP2..

Can you full skin your iPhone...??? can you ever change the layout.. that boring tile screen, everyday you gotta see the same screen.. in my TP2 i have manilla one day, iphone interface one day, titanium one day, wisbar this and that, loads of things everyday....

iPhone OS is way restricted.. it's like "i will show only things what i wish to show"... *CRAP* i can do many things in my winmo!!!! ..

Customization is unlimited in winmo.. WTH can you customize in iphone.. daily you install apps .. thats it ... page count will increase.. what else.. can you customize your iphone not to show one app in your home screen???(i dont know what to call that, iPhone only has one window totally :P) YOU CANT..

i dont know whether iPhone can multitask?? .. you press one button the app vanishes and what the hell happens to it??.. it closes? it minimizes?? what happens you dont know??.. can you switch back to the same app .. i am not sure abt that..

Can you see how much free RAM memory your iPhone has ??

i can use my QWERTY as my keyboard for my PC.. is there even a possibility for this in iPhone.??

Can you use your iphone as a wifi hotspot ?????? i can with m WinMo!!!

I can keep speaking like this .. but my point is you CANT do anything ADVANCE in iPhone... if you keep using for a month you will probably get bored of everything and there will be nothing new..

but again it all depends on the individual..

Jailbroken apps makes the iphone do what a windows mobile does. 3 days with phone and i got it doing 90% the things most people think can only be done with windows mobile. jailbroken apps community is strong, if apple won't include a feature, u can find a jailbroken app to get that feature.
[General Topics] clubtech:
The only problem is that the cat and mouse game with apples is getting really old.

You jailbreak..they release an update...you wait for a new jailbreak...you jailbreak they release an update and so on.

It is getting harder and harder to jailbreak the 3gs and now apple is fixing the last known hardware hack so it might not be possible to jailbreak anymore new iphone (new iphones that just came out can NOT be jailbroken without them being tethered to the PC after every reboot and there is still no fix for that).

So at some point you wont be able to jailbreak at all and then you have to surrender to apple. :)

I tried the iPhone and this cat ad mouse game is getting very old. I love and hate my iphone and now I am getting the HD2 after being away from winmo for a few months.

The iphone is not a smartphone. it is an app phone with great apps.

WinMo is like having a real small mobile computer in your hands. it just needs better looking apps and games.

[General Topics] montecristo1:
I personally, am tired of seeing posts about the iphone vs windows mobile. Honestly, why do you suppose either iphone users or someone who already made up his/her mind about the iphone decides to post on pocket pc,windows mobile or HTC forum...? Is it worth to us, who love our HTC/pocket pc/windows mobile, to go along with their posts? NOTHING we can tell a iphone follower that will change his/her mind. Why waste our time posting about the great things windows mobile has...if they can't see it...oh well. Let them go. Notice how any blogs mentions one little flaw about the iphone...and you will get the fanboys to respond one after another...saying the SAME things but in different wordings.

Seriously...went the iphone got MMS in the summer of 09...I almost peed on myself because there were people out there with the iphone like as if Apple invented...I'm sorry...revoluntionized the communication industry by getting MMS capabilities.

Clearly we see smartphones with more functions, more customizations, more features, more apps... But, we are now seeing alot of bias among tech-reporting...recently I saw an article that stated "iPhone overtakes Windows Mobile's US share in October" This article reported how Apple now has 8.97 million users...but clearly it should have been respectively titled "Blackberry still leads the Smartphone Race with more users..." which they have 14.96 users (almost double). http://digg.com/d31D5Xm Here is another article...same thing here...http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/17/iphone-to-windows-mobile-eat-my-dust/

I have no quarrels with with the Apple company. For one, it is a California company (my home) been near their offices, second it is an American company (I know with asian parts), and last but not least...IT DID make smartphones makers take a better look at their phones...causing better, faster and some copy cat phones....i will give credit where credit is due. Thanks Steve.

Now, I have quarrels with cult followers, fanboys. Hate when they try to tell you how you are not styling or have the latest tech or how tech savy they are for owning an iphone. True story...i was at Denny's yesterday with my wife and kid. Must have been senior citizen day...there was two grandmas laughing next table to mine. She was flirting with the waiter and asked if she could take a picture with him. She asked me if I can take the picture and they BOTH brought out their iphone. Took the pictures and they started showing me the other pictures they had...I showed her my pics on my phone, my Touch Pro. Grandma said she like my mini pc. I let her play with it..but she said she wasn't computer literate and so she will stick with the iphone. Cause all of her friends have it. I thought then and there...I will NEVER carry a phone that my grandma has.

Enough said.

Want to know who is actually getting rich of the iphone? http://digg.com/d31CMgC

Hello to all...

I have a sprint touch pro (raphael) and so far its was working perfectly but all of a sudden the phone resets itself after 10-20sec. after getting a GPS lock in google maps and Tomtom 7. recently Tomtom says no GPS device...

Well I backup the registry every couple of apps/tweaks i install... but even when i restored the registry from when it was working fine... still the self reset issue occurs.

any idea as to what gives???

I did recently install bike dashboard and i think that was the culprit... even after uninstalling it, and restoring previous registry, the phone still is experiencing the same issue.

Keep in mind that if I dont use any software using GPS... the phone works fine!

I want to see If i can troubleshoot the issue before I hard reset it (then I'll have to waste a whole day just resetting it and installing all the apps/tweaks :) to get it back to what it was before)

For the rest of you here, dont go with the HTC Eris or HTC Passion for Android. Too slow of hardware and the lack of OpenGL ES 2.0, even on the Snapdragon platform. Go with the Droid and you will have no regret because even the Sensui can be ported to the Droid and hear that it runs a lot faster due to a dirty hack with SenseUI utilizing the OpenGL ES 2.0 for hardware acceleration instead of complete reliance on the CPU.
