http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/_archives/Aug08/MoveOveriPhone Comments for "Move Over iPhone!" en-US http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/_archives/Aug08/MoveOveriPhone#comment-133859 <p>I have been thinking of updating my IPAQ 2790. The IPAQ works OK as a stand alone device although it only runs Windows Mobile 5. There does not appear to be an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1. The ARM920T PXA 27XX processor is reasonably fast but It is does not have phone functionality.</p> <p>My NOKIA 95 is a good phone but is not so good for email and Web Browsing. I started to look at the I-Mate Ultimate 9502, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 and the HTC Touch Diamond. These seem to be the leading devices in the Windows Mobile World but the cost is quite high. My guess is USD $800+.</p> <p>I have seen a lot of publicity regarding the Apple IPhone 3G. Tim Hillebrand article on Family Rivalry was an eye opener. I suspect it is based on IPhone V1 and not on the 3G. Steve Jobs talked about connectivity to Windows Office Applications in announcing the IPhone 3G. Please can you clarify this.</p> <p>Despite the comments by Tim I am looking at the pricing differential. Why would someone pay USD $800+ when they can have an IPhone 3G for USD $199 ? The Browser and Mail capabilities seem to be better than the leading Windows Mobile Devices. Is this just rhetoric or is it true. I am skeptical about commiting to Apple as their abandonment of the Newton cost me dearly. Please advise.</p> pubDate Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:27:34 -0500 dc:creator AWARD guid false comment 133859 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms
