30 Reasons Windows Mobile is Superior to iPhone
Posted by Pete Paxton in "Smartphone Talk" @ 01:00 AM
"In this article, I have included my initial observations and added some new ones for a condensed list of 30 features lacking in the iPhone. I say condensed because I have subsumed some items into a single point. For example, rather than list all the peripherals the iPhone does not support, I merely say that it doesn’t support peripherals. At the end of the article, I try to be fair by pointing out what I like about the iPhone in its current stage of evolution."
Unlike Tim over at Mobility Site, I do take the iPhone seriously. I have travelled twice out of state since having the iPhone and it has served all my needs perfectly. It's true that it doesn't offer word processing or spreadsheet creation or editing, but I am able to view them which is all I really need. My Dash has been able to create and edit business docs for two years and you know how many I created? Three. On the other hand, if you use your smartphone for business apps, I don't recommend an iPhone. I haven't missed Bluetooth stereo, Infrared capabilities, or satellite radio but if you want these, then a Windows Mobile device is more of what you're looking for. I use the iPhone as my main device because of its Internet ability, WiFi, crystal clear large screen, music and video, viewing pictures, my schedule, and its slick cool interface. I do miss being able to install true apps such as ebooks, and a bible. As mentioned in the article I suspect many of these issues will be resolved either in the iPhone app store or in the iPhone 2. What it really comes down to is what you want and what you need. For others to tell me what's best for me just doesn't make sense. So which is it for you? An iPhone? A Windows Mobile device? Why one and not the other?
