To that respect, your time and effort is much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>That said, I need to go back and agree with anon poster #1 (not me) who failes to understand why the facts need to be hidden among all the bs MS sucks Apple is great. From the specs, especially since many (including Flash support on iPhone) are purely rumor at this point, your comment that the two devices aren't close is... well.. not even close. The talk time on 3G is 30 minutes apart. The standby time is almost identical. You highlight 2G talk time differences, which I would need to see to believe given the similarity in batteries and the alignment between the other battery stats.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, not sure what your measure of failure is, but I would certainly not call the HTC Diamond a failure based on any of the stats you listed.<BR/><BR/>As far as # of handsets go, Apple has a tiny share of market to date. The 3G iPhone is supposed to change the world, but they are clearly struggling with even the basics. Copy/paste, video camera, tethering (all notably missing from your specs)... are all outside the skillset of Apple developers. These basics and others have been in WM for years.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, for me its between these two devices. I think the iPhone looks cool. I think it is simple, which can be good or bad. On the other hand, it will not do everything I need, and that is dissapointing. The HTC touch, on the other hand, will do everything I need, just not as sexy, and not as simple.<BR/><BR/>While the iPhone is doing a fantastic job generating hype, and presented a handful of features exptremely well. Its the hundreds of features not yet in the device that eventually turn it into the same bogged down buggy piece of shit that WM has become. But until it has all the features users are requesting (like WM does), it isn't a fair comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728633956910139189.post-63949823183006817492008-06-24T11:30:00.000-04:002008-06-24T11:30:00.000-04:00Dear Anon,I'd like to address your points in updat...Dear Anon,<BR/>I'd like to address your points in update (7)BoredSysAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158854616556613067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728633956910139189.post-41349198377075149642008-06-24T10:57:00.000-04:002008-06-24T10:57:00.000-04:00Isn't the battery life basically the same on the i...Isn't the battery life basically the same on the iPhone 3G? At least on the HTC, you can swap out batteries with a spare. As for FULL browser, last I checked the iPhone does not support Flash.

Amazing that a device can be called a failure before it is even formally reviewed when it runs a MS office, but it predicted to be a resounding success if it is Apple, no matter how inferior the technology!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
