Find a proper source not some sh*t.

LOL, why should I found a source? You do not want one although there is plenty and ebay is fine if you know what your doing on it, lots of people have got cheap iphones etc off their, my m8 got a brand new macbook pro for £900 less then on apple and its perfect, lucky git.

What do you want though?

As even on the music front windows media player 11 and the sync feature even takes on itunes quite admirably.

I want a phone that will make international calls (quad band but tri band would probably do)
I want SMS
I want mobile email
I want wireless internet with real web pages (not mobile ones)
I want a good audio player I can use all the time
I want a video player for tv episodes @ the gym.
I want VoIP.

Ive not found any other phone that gives me the same standard on all of these.  Blackberry does better email by far.  Nothing does better media playback.  Other phones do VoIP with less hassle.  Find me a phone you think can solve my needs better (chances are we made it so Ill go get one from upstairs).  Moneys no concern.


People seem to forget though it is apples first go, you can look at every other for a year as research and still not do yours as good the first time around and no one says its perfect

I can see them fitting 3g support, updated wifi and some other tweaks hardware wise But it is a very simple thing in regard to the OS and the fact it is basically OSX etc to update the software over time to improve on the aspects.

Next gen and the one after that will be leaps forward, if the rumour is true about the intel chip in the 3rd gen - rendering etc should be very slick on the iphone.

Most Windows Mobile devices now currently support Quad Band.

I want SMS
Er.. yes of course.

I want mobile email
Windows Mobile 6 Professional provides support for IMAP, POP3, Exchange and the best Push Email via Exchange. In a client that syncs with the most popular desktop email client, and provides real HTML email functionality and support for word/powerpoint/excel documents as well as zipped files, jpgs/gifs... can also (with 3rd party software i.e. adobe acrobat reader) support PDF.

I want wireless internet with real web pages (not mobile ones)

Windows Mobile devices come with PocketIE, displaying full HTML pages, not mobile. Iphone on the otherhand only really works well when displaying iphone specific webapps.

I want a good audio player I can use all the time

Use gsplayer, windows media player, htc audio manager, any number of free 3rd party audio players

I want a video player for tv episodes @ the gym.

Video player... with TCPMP and just using divx converter to convert files down for my screen (saving on space) I have had no issues whatsoever, playing full length movies, not just 45mins of tv.

I want VoIP.

I currently use a voip client on my Windows Mobile phone, works fine. Connects to Sipgate and cant fault it.

If money is no limit, then you can get a damn nice windows mobile device that will achieve more than your iphone can, that is also likely to outlive your iphone in usefulness.

So youve just given me a list of things that windows mobile can do as well.  3rd party media playback, general same phone features.

BTW, not sure where you got the idea that the iphone only works with webapps lol.  Have you actually used the autoscaling safari browser?  If anything I think that is the big selling feature of the iPhone.  None, and I mean none of the other browser systems on any phone Ive seen or used have that kind of ease of use.  Double tap auto zoom, pinch expansion, dropping in and out of video formats seemlessly, etc etc.

So, you say but as we make almost all of them and I can get any I chose... Please pick one.  Ive tried pretty much all of the high end phones currently on release.  Theres a couple coming that destroy it but right now there really isnt.  Ive still not been impressed with the windows mobile systems.  Blackberrys are an exception to this as they do their specific role fantastically well.

Seriously, pick a current release phone and Ill walk upstairs and get one and see if youre right.  Because I must have missed it.

Yeah the n95 is good so Im keen to see how the 96 goes down.  Its a whole generation ahead tho so not really apples for apples (its also one of our phones since its using an OMAP core).  Current windows mobile systems arent using our next gen chip yet so thats why Im not convinced theyre going to be up there.

I think you should all go out and buy the n96 when it hits (I want a new car) :)
