There are indeed a couple of things missing from my iPhone that I think should be there, most notably stereo Bluetooth on a device where one of the primary functions is to listen to music. God that is aggravating. Anyway, the stereo Bluetooth output I've heard from several WM devices is so bad, that I pretty much would rather not have it than have it so half baked.
The other thing that I missed (at first) is the inability to tether my laptop over Bluetooth. I say at first because I find that web browsing on the iPhone is more than sufficient for me. I don't know how many Google freaks there are here, what with Exchange seeming to rule the WM world, but if you're a Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Reader user, the iPhone is the answer to your dreams.
The iPhone may not have it all, but it has what counts most - it works and it works well. Something that I can hardly say about WM. Which is why after over 7 years of putting up with the same old uninspired garbage I jumped ship. I'm not any kind of Apple fanboy, believe me. iTunes is one of the most cruel abominations ever unleashed. Spyware is written better than iTunes. But as bad as iTunes is, I still think it's light years ahead of ActiveSync.
While my opinion is just that, I hardly think I'm alone. You can try to rationalize all you want how WM has this or that, but really, what will that do for you?
