" The Apple fanboys will be here soon to defend their beloved overpriced phone with a fruit on it, don't worry " Overpriced? Compared to what phone that flawless sync's data the same way ? And has all the same features and benefits.

...mmm try any windows mobile device? im sorry that it doesn't have a flashy UI but it gets the job done. And at least you can get a WM Device without being charged for 3g and data requirements :)

Exactally - The ATT Tilt, which is better than the iPhone of course, is only $199 now, same as the iPhone 3G. It's a much better phone technically speaking and with all the add-ons and mods it becomes an even better phone aesthetically. The defense rests.

Oh my word that comment just goes to show how blinkered the Apple Kool-aid drinkers are!!!!!! Blackberry and Windows Mobile has been providing the features that Apple still haven't got right for more than 7 years! Also due to the large and mature developer community you can add any skin to the device you like, just take a look at the demo herehttp://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021&highlight=diamond And if you really like the Apple UI I strongly recommend here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEQ7oo4U7nE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392985 I think the IPhone UI is great but it ain't worth $1,800 over 2 years with the bugs etc On top of this in terms of features it is still playing catchup It still has a low megapixel camera, there are tons of posts complaining about lockups and synchronisation errors where data is lost !!! It has only just started providing 3G and true GPS, there is no Video conferencing, No memory card slot, can't change the battery, screen rotation works only on a subset of the IPhone programs!! No Bluetooth A2DP Stereo Headset support! I have had HSDPA and GPS for over a year, syncin'g email......pleeeaase...6 years and counting and there are many more but I won't go on. However the screen is amazing and the GUI is great but as I can add any GUI I like and am not locked into ITunes etc I'd stick with something like the Samsung Omnia The Samsung Omnia has so many more features than any other Windows Mobile Phone out there so it kicks the IPhone into the dust on the functionality stakes 16GB internal with upto 16GB memory card support (that's upto 32GB of storage!!!) Worlds first DivX certified phone!!! Xvid/H.263/H.264/WMV/MP4 support 5 megapixel camera CMOS camera with a host of semi professional features!!! TV out GPS HSDPA 7.2Mbps 3.2" screen True screen rotation in all programs Video recording with a host of semi professional editing features!!! FM Radio with RDS Bluetooth with Headset A2DP support Office document support WiFi Decent battery 1400mAh Alec

I use the HTC Tilt/TyTn II/Kaiser... This phone has a touch screen, it has Google Maps, I downloaded a 3rd party flash video player to it so I can watch everything YouTube and other sites have to offer, it has real GPS (not tower triangulation like the iPhone), I don't have to sync anything to it, but my Outlook contacts, I can play any music format I want because I just copy it to my SD card via a card reader and then pop it into the phone, it has a 3 megapixel camera (which is evern weak now, but still better than iPhone's, and oh yeah--I can send multimedia messages (you know, that function that's been on pretty much every phone since late 2002, but still is not on the iPhone). iPhone rules? Sure it does, it rules all of the world's weak-minded sheep that are hypnotized and fooled by marketing instead of researching functionality and user friendliness. You know who has an iPhone? The same clowns that have iPods. Please tell me how your PC-syncing, data losing, letting another company spy on your hard drive (iTunes), iPod/iPhone could ever be better than my USB mass storage, drag and drop, DivX/XviD playing, half the cost Creative Zen.

U are horrible! I love UI on DARE it's much easier and more friendlier than the competition.
