I have been an ardent fan of windows mobile pocket pc right from it's birth. i was looking for a large screen ppc phone with data plan internet access. I bought HTC advantage but it was bulky and moreover, microdrive failed and could not be fixed. I bought Xda Flame for all its rich features. But, bluetooth issues with phone put me off. But I use it as my regular pocket pc.
Then frustrated, I went for Iphone. My friends were awe struck! They celebrated (but briefly). I loved the screen. It had several different features I could not adjust to; No search function for contacts, just scroll and no smart dialing :evil: I found it difficult to type with just fingers as I could not complete a web address even once without making at least one mistake. It would not pair with more than bluetooth (car and head set). I had to delete one to pair with another.
No delete button. Weather icon does not allow for local forecast. It was difficult for me to adjust few other reasons. I still liked the screen size and form factor. Multi touch to zoom in and out was great.
But, to make a phone call, I loved the smart dialing feature in WM.
I guess, Iphone is not for everyone as WM ppc phones. So I went for AT&T tilt. It has everything except for screen size for internet access and for reading articles. I hope one day HTC or XDA will make a 3.5' screen ppc phone for me! :wink:
