It's very ineresting how different average user, not so knowledgable in tech details and tech blogger can be! :roll: The reason for that conclusion is my own experience. This Monday I had a business meeting. People there were bankers, lawyers, pretty much have nothing to do with high tech. On a coffee brake one of them, a man in his thirties start showing off his new shiny iPhone, all those jestures, maps on the internet and so on. I just had to put my 2 cents in there :twisted: I took out my 2 years old Mio A701 customized with SPB Mobile Shell 2, PocketCM (freeware) keyboard and Contacts, and MS Voice Commander. So I showed how nice SPB Shell animotions are, very sensitive Sirf III GPS along with FREE Live Search, PocketCM keyboard with ability to add words to library, and not ONLY in English, handwriting with Transcriber, Contact search options with Mobile Shell and PocketCM, and when I start "talking" to the phone using Voice Commander, asking things like my next oppointment, battery status, dail a number, that stall the show. I had to give interested people, Expansives website address, refer them to PocketGear.com, and PocketCM for customization options and got myself a few potential clients. :lol: So, the point is, well customized and handled 2 year old WM 5 phone can beat brand new iPhone hands down in a real world, not on the tech blogs, of course. 0X The iPhone is just a trendy device. And BTW, My mio was pretty stable, untill I start loading it with 3rd party software. Let's see how iPhone will handle all those new upcomming soft, before we jump to conclusions who is better and who will survive or die. Cheers.
