My guess is that none of you are involved in the Large Hadron Collider. Right ?
Did you know that the principle software used is not OSX. Do you want to guess what it is ?
Stunning idiots.
@Apple rep.
Some advice from some one older and definitely wiser than you.. finish school, try to read - real books (with paper in them), read a good independent newspaper each day and if you must comment on the support for the troops in Iraq, then please ask them how they would most like to be supported; ... every single combat personnel that I have asked, replies "Bring me home now".
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everyone who sets their profile to private is a fanboy. I don't understand what you are responding to kccboy, maybe it's a malfunction in the commenting system.
People who have set their profiles to private for no reason: kccboy Apple Rep. clak
I do not see the relevance of the iPhone to this article... it's about the HTC Touch Diamond (a worthy competitor to the iPhone)...
But, a couple points:
One: your posts, were the first ones that I saw, that mention the iPhone. So that leads me to believe that you are using the comment section to make sure that people see your comments first (incorrect use of comment system strike 1).
Two: You did not directly confront Apple Rep., which leads me to believe that you either don't know how to use the comment system (we'll add another strike for that offense too), or your comments are nothing more than flamebait (another strike for baiting)
So far thats 3 strikes against you...
Three: are you really older than Apple Rep.? How do you know? The word "boy" in your screen name would suggest you're a kid, and the way you are so viciously attacking people whose opinions differ from yours jives with that exegesis.
Another strike, for really... in short I guess I would call it stupidity.
Four: How much would the most economic plan (that still allowed you to utilize all of the functions of the Touch Diamond) cost per year? I bet it's very close to the same price. While I couldn't find the price for an adequate plan, I did find that the price of the phone alone is $699.99... yeah, iPhone is cheaper.
So YET ANOTHER STRIKE for failing to quote a price for the 'better phone'.
And one more...
Five: Who prices a wife? STRIKE! Final score: kcc: 6 strikes for six comments!
However if I am a 'fanboy'. then what I am a fan of is not clear. I certainly don't think that the object of my attractions are located in cyberspace or locked to a provided of hardware or software.
Truly I could not care less whether I run on Windows or OSX, nor could I care whether I use an iPhone or an HTC. I have had some terrible experiences with OSX abd happen to really like Vista. (I can't relate to blind, unspecific comments made about any system - but it does seem that the most stupid comments of the latter type do come from Apple supporters).
I am interested in reading the legitimate well thought-out contributions from educated well-informed, balanced persons who are skilled in communication.
The contrary persons out there who make less than objective comments... well.... they must be destroyed.
As for the profile, clak did it, so I did.... maybe I am a fanboy?
I'm going to do every sane person a favor and just warn you: don't even bother scrolling down any further. One of the most pathetic iPhone vs. WinMo flamewars that I've seen in a long time awaits. You've already gotten a preview of it. Sad, pathetic little people doing their best to make total tools of themselves; it sickens me!
If you must read further, please do your best not to feed the trolls, as this is obviously what they want. Just try to laugh, and try not to lose too much faith in humanity. Honestly, these people feed off your logical, on point comments and vomit fanboy excrement back in your face. They truly get a kick out of you trying to make sense of their nonsense. Don't let them win any more than they already have.

Nice looking phone.
I agree. this is a great looking phone.
does anyone know how much space is required for iTunes software. Some body told me that it was over 60 MB.
Anyone else think that that is bloated ??? !!!!
@kcc
It has several GB in it, besides, it's not iTunes. It's Windows Media Player because it's a Windows Mobile phone. ANd I'm sure it's under 20 MB.
@Mike,
It's 66 MB. Bloated.

You make a good point;
However if I am a 'fanboy'. then what I am a fan of is not clear. I certainly don't think that the object of my attractions are located in cyberspace or locked to a provided of hardware or software.
