Hello, i am a WM user since my qtek s200, and that is a way back, i love WM phones, i had over 6 WM devices and now i had a contract renewal and i got myself an iphone 3gs. I am a iphone hater -or maybe was-, and i do have the device for 4 days now. To my suprise the iphone is really good, really fast, and now that has turn by turn navigation its really usable. Fluent graphics, really powerful applications, and really really good support.
I thought i would never say this, but i am selling both my HD's, and its gonna take me a while to get back to WM devices.
Flame as you guys want, i just wanted to give my 2 cents on the thing thats happening.
I went the other way. Had enough of the low-res toy that is the Iphone, with Apple constantly blocking users from doing what they want.
My condolences
Well - as always it depends on what you want from your device... If you are satisfied with the abilities apple lets you use - go for the iphone. If you want a device you can customize in every way you want - go for a WM-device. And I have to agree with arfster: The resolution on the iphone is a disgrace! I'm definitely not willing to go to anything below VGA after having a WVGA device!
But I'm happy as long as your happy with the iphone!

Nice one!
I used to own an iPod touch (Iphone without the phone) and just found it to gimmicky. Sooner or later you will get bored of useless apps & games and come running back
Anyway have fun with your iPhone! I certainly would like to have one for 12 months +!

Congratuations.
I've seen enough of what it can do to know that you're making the right move. Once jailbroken, I've seen how customizable it is, perhaps even more customizable than winmo phone. Everytime I see her, the phone looks different. She was having a HTC Hero look just the other day, and before that it looked like a Palm Pre. I've seen my cousin's iPhone and played with it, and it is truly amazing and awesome. Fantastic application functionalities and choices. Fantastic speed and smoothness. Fantastic for internet on the go. Fantastic media device.
I'm half way there in my saving to buy a second hand 3GS.

What stuff from HTC Hero or Palm Pre did you actually see? Are you certain that it is customizable. Because all I can see is the same old home screen with an HTC Hero Wallpaper.
Yes you now have turn by turn navigation but just see what happens when you take a phone call. On my Diamond TomTom just continued working and I could chat away to my heart's content. The iPhone will terminate the satnav application to tale the call. The iPhone is very, very shiny but has some serious restrictions - not to mention having to jailbreak to get away from the control freakery that is Apple.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
theres my thoughts
kidding but in all seriousness, and im sure we remember the other conversations iphone is for ppl and winmo is for others
it depends on what ur needs are from the deivice
What is it about people that they feel the need to come on a Windows Mobile forum to start a new thread to announce that they just got a new iPhone ?
Can't they just ressurrect one of the other 1000 threads that were started everytime Apple passes gas. ?
I have five Macs currently, am typing this on a Mac, my first PDA was an Apple Newton. I have been an Apple fanboy for 30yrs. And am on my second iPhone.
I also love my Kaiser. Now when I got my new 3Gs last month, my first thought wasn't to rush right over to XDA to start a new thread to announce that I had gotten a new iPhone, why is that everyone elses first thought ?
Can we just add all the " I just got a new iPhone " threads to the AS team's list of duties ?

No, it's more than a mere wallpaper. It also includes customizing the icons, the keyboards, the phone pad, the home screen itself, etc.
Did some googling, and found this..
Of course, don't expect it to have the complete behaviour of HTC hero, just like you would not expect a winmo phone that has been customized to mimic iphone to behave like iPhone.
Cheers.
"Help! I bricked my new WP7 phone!"
Very good, but it will happen to a lot of people without XDA's help
i bet loads more poeple will join when WP7 comes out
If wp7 comes out.....
Here's mine:
"Dude, I tried to Flash my HARDSPL, and now I'm BRICKED!" Think abouut itt. THIIINK THUNK THINK ABOUT IT!
I'm so dingy.
Is it just me, or is this new windows 7 ugly as hell? With all the fuss being made about it, how they kept pushing back the release date, I expected MS to change the game. Basically all theyre giving us is a glorified integrated Mortscripts on a basic looking interface. Just because they spin a couple menus around when you press them doesnt make it high tech.
I presume you mean windows phone 7 based on the content.
I'm pretty certain, call me crazy, that windows phone 7 contains more then just a set of ui changes uses the tiles. I'm counting on a lot of features, and stable integration against my other Microsoft products?
I'm sure if you post this thread in the Windows Phone Section you may get a better reply for that.
And to answer your question - It is different, I am undecided if I am one for the tiles or not, but I can see it as something I would get used to and be able to quickly utilise. I mean, why else would people have made an app made to look like it for android, or why else would there be a winmo app out for the home screen. I'm sure some people like it, alot! I personally am looking forward to see what Microsoft have done for Windows Phone 7.
And if you mean windows 7, pc, I think that it kicks ass.....
Dont get me wrong,I'll always be a windows man,but Ive been coming here since 2004,yet nothing had our geeky mouths watering like the prospect of a completely revamped OS.Even if WM7 makes its official entrance,I think I'll stick around for an HTC mod like TouchFlo or something.
Also,I posted it on this forum so I wouldnt come across as one of those kiljoys that ruin perfectly good threads.
LOL, yeah, i do not what you mean, After I posted I did wonder if there would be a fair bit of flaming/arguing! I only suggested it for more a detailed response to the theming and stuff microsoft are throwing on, but then again, I do not doubt that you have already been watching that section.
I'm not sure how much HTC are allowed to skin the tiles/remove the tiles. At one point it was only meant to be a certain number of tiles allowed to be changed by the operator (I think, I concede I may be wrong though).
But then from reading pocket lint, it looks as though HTC have come up with this which to me looks pretty sweet to be honest. Nice simple and basic.
I am seriously thinking of getting one of the new HTC devices when it comes to contract renewal and seeing how I go with it for the first few days and see what my carrier will be willing to do for me.
I like WP7, but not the home screen. That title thing is ugly and whats with the wasted space on the top and right side? Just doesn't make sense.

Now thats what Im talking about.HTC has rescued windows a lot of times from being obliterated by prettyfied devices like iPhone(HTC Cube,HTC Home,Manila,etc). Apple has proven many times that people care more about looks than functionality.
It does look a bit boring but 1+ would be that it is able to daulboot opensource os's Anyone know if bada is open source

its no wonder android is taking up so much real estate in the OS market. what's up with this TouchXperience? Looks like it's setting up to monetise. Would have been nice to have... It looks like we'll be paying for everything soon, even themes. How nostalgic.

It's like that old fairytale about the Emperor's Clothes. Always wondered what that was about...
I've used already a Symbian phone, a Windows mobile phone, an iphone, and now I have an Android
But I see all the time one thing..
For any kind of phone, there is always some one that wants to turn-it in to any other kind of phone..
A windows phone to look-a-like a android, android to look-a-like a iphone, an iphone to look-a-like a windows etc etc...
I think each phone OS as it's own capabilities, and it's own virtues, good things and less good things.
I'm not a developer, but if I was one I think I would focus in improving the OS in things they are not so good.
It's just a thought, and for the one that do this look-a-like other phone thing, please do not be offended, it's was not my intention.
Thanks

I really hate that, especially if it was an iphone-mac-windows look-a-like
umm ya know u dont have to install every last bad/tasteless theme if u dont want to
do you see others coming up and ranting about dragon ball themes ?
Yeah I always wondered about that. If you want that type of phone then why didn't you buy it in the first place right? Haha some people are crazy XD

Lolol games are good business omg
HD2 is better because it has some better drivers and gigantic support from there.
I heard a bit info about tg01 and I really don't recommend it for you, it's better choice for me. My friend developed tg01 in toshiba and it's really bad choice until I got one.
Also choosing a device with Winmo now has no sense, lol wp7 is out, I don't like it but winmo is not developed anymore, after 29007 development stopped and will not continue, it's business take because MS would kill us for developing new systems to old phones, preventing people to buy new awesome wp7 phone with wp7 and wp7 from MS and with wp7.
Anyway, until you know how to cook, how winmo is built, how it works etc, you can't choose good phone for you because you don't even know 10% about system.
I recommend you to take my MSN, talk to me, and start cooking for himalaya, just to know WM for a little
(btw, hd2 is for idiots, not offensive but a huge support -> idiots using this phone because it's "easy and awesome and stuff and many ppl use it!")
(btw2, I use universal and it's best in all ways)

When i said really cheap, i mean't REALLY CHEAP!!!!
I'm only buying it until i get enough money for a htc android phone.
seen as the tg01 runs android ive killed 2 birds with one stone.
i would love to develop for himalaya and windows mobile and i know we have to keep the himalaya alive. but windows mobile is..... pretty boring for a 14 year old. I need something newer to keep me entertained. When nearly everyone in school has a desire or hero or motorola defy. Plus it has the rarity!! no one in school has a tg01! one person in school has a touch pro 2.
one thing im looking forward to is gps and win mob!!!!
its an excellent combo!!
BTW: you don't happen to play black ops on ps3 do you?
