Wow, you guys still have to wait for jailbreaks to use 3rd party apps. That's why I bought a windows mobile phone. No waiting for my 3rd party apps. And the apps are actually supported by microsoft.
nice response. I guess it was well thought out then, right?? You're just pissy you have to always wait for your apps. I understand. Oh wait, I don't, I wasn't dumb ebough to buy an Iphone.
That doesn't matter. I want my programs when I need them. Imagine the internet going out for a week. Or all 3rd party apps on Macs going out because they had to be hacked first. Imagine the mad chaos.
Windows Mobile? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha................... At least I can place and receive a call 99.999% of the time with my iPhone. My previous WM phones were always a hit or miss affair when it came to calls or SMS.
In any case your snide comments indicate you are most likely suffering from iPhone envy and are probably one of the tens of thousands of WM users that installed an iPhone-like interface.
What the fuck are you talking about??My phone gets perfect reception, and it actually has awesome 3g. It's an HTC TyTn II, one of the best mobile smartphones out there. I actually hate the iphone interfaces, I said "it looks to iphoney" when I saw the vids of it on gizmodo or lifehacker or something like that. I actually like the WM interface with the HTC plug in built in.
because I hate it when people actually think there's nothing better than an Iphone. or a Razr. Pr anything like that. There is always something better than something that gets this much hype...
This has got to be the best thing you've ever said...
"I actually hate the iphone interfaces, I said "it looks to iphoney""
Imagine that! The iPhone interface looking to iPhoney! When I saw the new Windows Mobile interface I said, "I hate this interface, it just looks to damn Windowsey".
I wanted something I (not you) enjoyed using everyday. I got that with the iPhone. For me (again, not you) the iPhone was the best device. That is why I (...not you) paid for it.
I'm happy with it the way it is, but props to the jailbreaking community. They do good work.
@Curtis- Idiot, I meant the Iphone interfaces for Windows Mobile, there are Iphone interfaces for WM and also "Simpler" interfaces for Windows mobile. That was what I was referring to, as I said "Iphone interfaceS"! withan S!! meaning more than one!! Which the Iphone doesn't have, it's only got one Iphone Interface!!! interfaces refers to the Windows mobile add ons!
@Anthony- I understand you may like the Iphone, as do many other people, but I am not alone. There are many other WM users that love using WM, not just me. The only reason you don't see any of them in this post is because they usually won't care about Iphone news, but I like to see what competing products have to offer.
Yes, through all your pathetic ranting I understood that you were talking about the Windows Mobile add-on. What is funny though is that you though the iPhone interface was to iPhoney...what were you expecting? An interface that didn't look like the iPhones?
No, I perfectly understood what you said, you just didn't actually read my reply before quickly posting...I will put it in easier terms for you so that you will understand what I said...
You use WM add-on that make phone look like iPhone. You think it then look to much like iPhone. You surprised. You shocked. You think interface intended to make phone look like iPhone looks to iPhoney. You surprised. You shocked.
Here is what you said- "What is funny though is that you though the iPhone interface was to iPhoney" That's what you said, and I interpreted it exactly like that, so don't try to convince me otherwise you understood it, because you didn't. Until I posted a reply, then you got it. and you even did it in your native tongue! Caveman language!! Bravo!
It's pretty obvious that I was talking about the add-on. Next time I'll make sure that instead of saying just iPhone interface when referring to your WM add-on I'll say "iphone interface add-on for your windows mobile cellular device pda smartphone". That was you won't get confused, sorry for thinking you could comprehend something past a 3rd grade reading level.
Wow this is going way too far. Yes iPhone WORKS better and is more fun to use. Oh and BTW iphone as a great marketshare of smartphones now then any and all windows mobile phones combined.
Wow... I was reading the comments and started reading the replies to this post, and after I read about 3 of sam's, I just went down the line and gave all of them a negative rating. Do you have a life, sam?
@kurtis- screw you man, I was just talking to my friends on AIM, gmail talk and windows live messenger the whole time, so yea, I think I have enough friends to consider having a life (I know using AIM and gmail talk and a webcam doesn't necessarily mean having a life, but hey, I've probably got more friends than you do man), and I have a gmail notifier ni firefox that makes the outlook notification noise, so know, I haven't been sitting here for 3 hours hitting F5. Anyways, I don't even feel like talking about you losers anymore, it's pointless. You're all Apple fanboys, why should I argue with you guys, there's too many of you crazy fanboys out there, and the fanboy haters can really care less, that's why they wouldn't bother commenting on you guys...
Sam, why are you, a happy WM user wasting your time commenting on an iPhone related post? I'm glad you're happy with your phone. Many are not. Why are you here. Could your iPhone envy be any more obvious?
Because I think it's just screwed up the way Apple treats it's customers, and there is barely anyone that gets pissed off about it. The Iphone doesn't run 3rd party apps from day 1- WHAT!! is what I think. The ipod touch program pack cost $20 bucks for preexisting owners!!! What!!! why do people still praise Apple and Steve Jobs as if he is a god when all they do to you guys is nickel and dime you for another thing, and then it's suddenly "Innovative" for everything they do, right?? That's why I'm posting here. Because this whole entire thread shouldn't even exist, the Iphone should've been able to run 3rd party apps from day 1. I know about the SDK in February, but why didn't they have this set and ready to go on day 1?? Because Apple likes to keep a closed system so that they get to sell the consumers as much as they can from Apple, and only Apple, not from 3rd parties, which is how they make their money. Anyways, I'm done with this thread. I'm going to go do something else (maybe you guys should too, it's kinda getting late (at least in the eastern US it is))
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.

Go suck an egg!
nice response. I guess it was well thought out then, right?? You're just pissy you have to always wait for your apps. I understand. Oh wait, I don't, I wasn't dumb ebough to buy an Iphone.
I happen to work for an egg factory...
ANd that makes your response any better how???
You do realize we had to wait the eternity that is one week, right?
That doesn't matter. I want my programs when I need them. Imagine the internet going out for a week. Or all 3rd party apps on Macs going out because they had to be hacked first. Imagine the mad chaos.
No offense to anyone, but seriously, thats how Windows Mobile rolls
Yeah, see. ThePengwin understands. Why can't you guys??
Hmm...a million and one features on a platform that's a pain to use versus far fewer on one that's a pleasure to use.
Decisions, decisions...
A pain to use my ass, I use it everyday, along with many millions of other users of windows mobile.

Oh you're talking dirty now.

honestly zebian why the hell do you care so much? If your phone is so much better then why bother trying to put down the iPhone?

@curtis- No you idiot, you didn't understand. I said the WM add-ons looked to iphone-y to me. Not the actual Iphone interface.
ANd @Mtirv-
soo... it's still a hack, right??? you still have to always wait for the next jailbreak...
No, I perfectly understood what you said, you just didn't actually read my reply before quickly posting...I will put it in easier terms for you so that you will understand what I said...

"Sam Zebian - because I hate it when people actually think there's nothing better than an Iphone. or a Razr. Pr anything like that."
You mean like you're doing with your WM tirades?
How am I supposed to undertand something when you weren't even clear about it at all...
Wow this is going way too far. Yes iPhone WORKS better and is more fun to use. Oh and BTW iphone as a great marketshare of smartphones now then any and all windows mobile phones combined.

Rofl at this thread. Total high rank farming (or in the case of Sam, failing).
@reader-
You think I care about my rank, it's all going to end up negative anyways, look at all of the fanboys going up against me.
@Bryan Ledford-
