Some do think so, and aside from the flimsy OS, I'd have to agree. I would buy this.

the iphone has been out for more than a year, if other companies cant kill it by now i think the mobile phone industry is in a big problem...
i would never use windows mobile..

It has a nice design, but offers little else.
There are a few superficial OS changes.

I love Apple, but I don't understand how they can have a monopoly on great design and common sense.

One thing that drove me crazy about WinMo is that incoming calls show up in a miniscule pop-up screen, wasting massive screen space. Why?!!!
If I were in the business, I would offer a magnifying glass as an extra option.

Well, it has some really good features, touchscreen with a GPS, well thats cool

but using windows mobile!!! mmmm thats a very large con!!, dont u think so? i mean its still windows, do u guarantee no BSODs!! i won't!!
Sony Xperia will be launched soon, it has many other features and very large screen, a good feature also is that beside Windows Mobile, they claim that u can use their Sony Ericson SW w/o WinMo!

There is no doubt that the iPhone lacks many features.
Features thet WinMo has.

As for BSOD, well I can gaurantee you won't get any.
Because, technically, Windows Mobile has nothing to do with any version of Windows, unlike iPhone's OSX.
But it will hang, restart, and stall.
This may be the main similarity between the two Windows.

How can u "use their software"?

I remember i used a WinMo once, and the 1st 5 minutes it surprised me with that error msg saying "Send report", "Don't Send" !!!!! what kind of mobiles is this

Well i dont remember where i read this, but they say it will be fully Java supported so u can use the usual SE software, if u saw the trailer, the guy shows 9 buttons on the screen, one of those buttons leads to WinMo default screen, and the other 8 buttons are SE software

Another good feature is that Xperia will support A-GPS which is way to accurate than the usual GPS, the GPS error ranges between 1-3 meters and sometimes more, but A-GPS error is less than 1-meter

BTW, what do u poeple think about Samsung Instinct they claim its an iPhone killer too, but it works on Sprint network only
Each time i read (iPhone killer) i say wow Apple (the computer manufacturer) has set a new standard in the phone industry!!!!!

Part of the OS experience is consistency. MS delivers on that promise.
You will consistently get error messages through out your computing experience using MS software.

For those that are truly lost in life.
We know that drug smugglers won't be using this phone.

I haven't used it, but I can see the iPhone is still strong and kicking.

I think its sad that Apple is the only one that can deliver such an experience in the Phone, Computer, and MP3 industry. I'm sure Jobs is happy with that. He says that Asia can't make software. That they can make great hardware, but not creative software.
But Windows (PC & Mobile) are made in the US, and Symbian is made in Europe.
Motorola made the RAZR, which by all logic should have been a cash cow.
But it is struggling as a business in a whole.

Amazing how the human mind works.
I guess not all men are created equal.
