Just to clarify I am NOT an iphone hater. I believe it is an absolutely beautiful piece of hardware with a killer interface. I fully believe it is a revolutionary device that will positively shake up and change the industry just like the ipod did. Super kudos to Apple for once again raising the bar for LAZY companies like Microsoft.

What I have tried to accomplish is point out the reason why I personally, in business and pleasure, cannot find enough functionality in the iphone. At least no more functionality than an ipod with wifi. That is to say that the iphone while not for me, is definitely good for most people out there. Especially if they dont want to deal with the MAJOR inadequacies in windows mobile thanks to a very lazy company that does not listen to its client base.

Give the iphone a better earpiece/speaker, put it on CDMA to address call quality issues, give it 3g for gods sake thats just the blunder of the century, give it a legitimate text entry method like the Newton had, allow 3rd party developers to develop SIGNED applications and of course let Apple take its piece of the pie. If these were true I will be the first to admit I would purchase the iphone over the Mogul. But they are not true, and as much as the l33t hakors out there will hack into the iphone it will never have the functionality of a WM device in its current iteration. Fix up the major blunders in the iphone though and I might be tempted to give up the WM features.
