Meanwhile, what has windows mobile accomplished since? Nothing. I am really dissapointed in Microsoft, they had everything going for them, they were first to market with their phone years ago but absolutely failed at usability and cannot deliver cutting edge hardware. One thing every windows mobile phone has in common is that the hardware is no more advanced than it was in 2001, they just keep putting in these horrible apps made in india that barely work. Why not create a developer network that builds all the apps for you and make a cut?, sounds familiar. Come on MS you have all the money and resources to pull this off, hire some talent around that joint eh.

Then the Iphone came and was under a lot of pressure to get the Iphone (family uses ipods and iphones). So I succumbed to the temptation. I ordered (at this point I read nothing about the Iphone and its problems) the Iphone 3Gs. Nice device, fits nicely in hand. UI pleasing and simple, web browsing is fast and nice (using wifi) and only has 3G, no hspda and or hsupa. Ok, i'll ignore these. it flips between wifi and 3G quite nicely. Not much aplications inside it. very minimal. You can view documents if they are attached to emails, hmmmm. Cant save docs , hmmm. not good. you cant switch between applications, you always have to go to home screen. Hmmmm, time waster. I am using soem app and heard a sound from the phone. what is it? close, go to home screen and search, oh oh .... a text message. that is daft. same for emails. where is the file system? how much memory/storage i have left? Unknown. Oh wait, that text message is good news from O2 and it says that my phone now (os 3.1) has mmms weeepeppeeee. WHAT? other new features like CUT and PASTE, what the hell? A compass, hmmm nice indeed. Now I remember i entered an appointment for today? where is it? no display of today appointments? launch app to see, OH I SEE. Hard to pair with other phones, good with car kit though. Oh Maps, ok. Stock, ok, timers, ok. Photo , camera, youtube, ok ok ok. Ipod, aha, not bad. calc, ok. can't organize texts by sender, ok. Voicemail, hmm ok. No flash, ok I can go on and on. At the end of the day, like you, I said to myself, "how much did I pay for this?" Windows Mobile might not be pretty but hell, it is way more productive if you are that sort of person. Even the apps are better and much more sophisticated and serious. Above, way much freedom touse the phone and customize as you like. How much did I pay for this? Indeed. HI,
