I just discovered the #1 reason not to buy an iPhone. Of course there are many which you all know about but this one takes the prize! Reading around some of my favorite pocketpc sites I discovered an article from the Boy Genius Report which provides a review of the iPhone SDK. Further research by developer Robert Balousek into the SDK have revealed an incredible flaw:
"Only one iPhone application can run at a time, and third-party applications never run in the background. This means that when users switch to another application, answer the phone, or check their email, the application they were using quits."
The quote above is pulled from the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines document available on the SDK site. Too bad they don't mention this kind of stuff on the iPhone ad considering multitasking is the whole point of mobile computing. Ridiculous.
Here is the full article: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/03/08/iphone-sdk-honeymoon-over-no-background-processes/
dude what a bag o wa*k. Would concider one but for a change the Microsoft option has a more open and editable os on a wider range of phones. (yer I know thive apple some time but I do get the feeling that this is going the same take over the world direction the ipod toulk)
<points and laughs>
Anyone who pays extra money *per call* to own an iPhone is an idiot.
"But you pay the same for calls as you do on other phones" you say. No. If your telco was not paying apple a slice of your call revenue, they could afford to cut costs. You ARE paying for the privelidge of owning a feature-poor over-hyped piece of junk.
I had to laugh so hard the other day. Someone I know was extolling the virtues of the apple multi-touch interface. I told him to show me multi-touch. He did a gesture with one finger. LOL. Most of them don't even ever use multi-touch on the phone or know what it is and it's the phone's only unique feature.
Why would anyone want to get sucked into buying a stupid fad anyway?
Sure the iphone is "pretty" or something ... and naturally being gadget freaks, most of us will be interested in it at first ... but after doing the proper research it's totally not work it. No MMS, no keyboard ..etc..
I'm sure WM based companies are going to step it up a notch and as soon as WM 7 is released, its going to completely slaughter the iphone.
There should be a specific thread or forum on why you shouldn't buy an Iphone. My coworker (sex withheld, lol) was show-boating her iphone to everyone. Once she dangled that expensive piece of hardware in front of me, I told her that it doesn't send picture messages, no gps, the touch screen keyboard suck (to me and many others I know), the internet is slower than what the commercials show (no 3G), it's so ridiculously expensive, it has it own plan for pete's sake, you can't remove the damn battery, and more memory slot. I also told her (being that we live in miami) to be careful because if and when the weather exceeds 96 degrees, (and it will), kiss your iphone night night, lol.
Forgive me for my run-on sentences

OK Guys I Have a HTC mogul and it is a really good phone i really like it.. But I am really concidering getting an iPhone.. I like the flow that the iPhone has where I dont get that with my mogul.... My question, Is it worth buying... I will be keeping my mogul, the iPhone will just be xtra for the features... Im not even going to be using the phone, just the data, text, and multimedia features.
Definitely... I used to detest the iPhone till I got my hands on one... and believe me... the Windows UI has a long way to go. I got bored of everything on the iPhone rather quickly but I must say that I am really impressed with how smooth and fluidic everything is. WinMo is **** in that respect. I especially love the Safari Browser... it is such a pleasure to use it to browse. I use my PPC to browse the net only as a last resort...but with Safari, I would find reasons to use it.
At, $400, it's a decnt buy. Go for it... i'd recommend it.
If you have money to burn, then do so.
That said so do I, but I still bring myself to buy it versus a good PDA
I would wait!
You should wait and keep your mogul because an iphone like ui is coming out on new years day.

Yo i like your set up you have there if i do get the iPhone it wont be until like the 3rd or 4th... I want to know how to do stuff like your screen... I did have the iphone skin about 2 months ago i wasnt to impressed and it got boring so where do i go to start with the basics like what is a kitchen??
I'd say if you don't plan on using the phone perhaps look into the iPod Touch. You couldn't text or browse out and about, but could with Wifi. Will let you have the interface of the iPhone and keep you from having to pay a large monthly phone fee for services you're mostly not using.

Well i will be getting on a friend of mines plan and i will pay $29 to use the data and text. the plan i have with my mogul has 3000 min, unlm. text, unlim. data, equipment protection, unlim. n&w, the works basicly and it is only $37 after taxes..... so i figure $70 a month for 2 phones isnt bad
I feel for anybody that needs to ask the question of whether they should or should not get an Iphone.
Being a great lover of the WM and haveing gone through 2003, on and off the WM5 train and now on the WM6 rom (waiting for 6.1) I find at the end of the day the only reason I like WM is that I can play with it.
2 Weeks ago I went in a apple store in the USA (I am from switzerland) and looked at an IPhone. I have to admit its nice, the interface is nice, it flows, you can get the grips of it with a FAT thumb. It has 16gig of ram.
Now I have a Blue Angel, the reason I still have it is due to the fact that I am na old fart and need the 3.5 screen (Iphone has a big one).
I have am 2 gig SD card and can't listen to MP3 of it due to a the speed of the card and the device (IPHONE has 16gig internal).
I have a big fat thumb and am on the 7th or 17th stylist on my BA (have not seen many people taping with a biro on there IPhone (as they lost the stylist)).
I had to buy a new belt to keep my trousers up with my BA (or Kaiser), (Iphone is thin and slick).
My BA has as much sex appele as wet toilet roll. (face it the Iphone looks and feels nice).
So why do I still have a old BA ?
Well I cant play with roms, cook them or spend my nights in XDA.
I have ZERO software that I can download and try.
I cant Sync me works contacts or my privat ones as I happen to work for an organisation that has more than 20'000 people and thus is sort of on the coparte M$ train.
I work on the other Main Land and there is more to our lives than MM/DD/YY and English.
So I stick with a HTC device running on windows mobile and will most likly end up buying a Iphone for my wife.
Life sucks when you have to admit to defeat, HTC get your act together!!! You have to many damb phones that do some things, some have GPS and a small screen, some have a larger screen and no Keyboard, some have a keyboard and no FM Radio. And they are all NOT sexy!!!
Get yourself a Touch Cruise and then you can be the envy of the iFone crowd, you know it makes sense, 3G, GPS and you can "Play" with it, put the iFone screens on the BA and give it the other half (will she notice - probably; so duck quickly) - as an aside I have never lost a stylus from my BA - it is still stuck in the damn thing and refuses to release, I am not going to open it though just for this!
The Touch only has a 2.8 screen that I cant read

Well, I love the Kaiser, and just recently switched from the iPhone. This UI, and Windows UI, have a long way to go to compete with the iPhone's.
The thing is, you can't compare the two devices;
iPhone - Heavy in multimedia, Style, INTERNET
Mogul - Business User oriented; satisfactory multimedia use.

T-Mobile Wing (Herald) vs. T-Mobile Dash (Excalibur)
Hello, my name is Frankie, and I'm gonna turn 13 pretty soon. Most of my friends think I'm a computer nerd because, well I am. I mostly started being good at computers by my older brother, because he built a comp for me. Alot of the time at school I'm missing my classes fixing the computers. That's something I find, well, fun. I've been modding computers for a couple years now and I've shot past my brother. He's going to be a computer xD salesman. I mostly program, and I even run my own FSO Server.
So I'm not sure what phone I should buy... The T-mobile Wing or Dash?
The main reason why I'm into HTC phones is they have Windows Mobile and WiFi (I'm not sure if ALL of them do so don't comment on that).
Okay First I'll go with the Pros.
Wing
Touchscreen
Spacious Qwerty Keyboard with Arrow Keys
WiFi
Windows Mobile
Dash
Qwerty Keyboard
WiFi
Windows Mobile
Next I'll go with the Cons.
Wing
$60-$90 More
Dash
Smaller Keyboard
No Arrow Keys
No Scroll Wheel/Touchscreen
I would give the Wing a +2 and the dash a +1
Just one problem... the wing

costs more Moola!!
At the moment I haven't been saving much money
I have about $20 Right now, because I just bought guitar Hero.
I surf the internet a TON, but I wouldn't have unlimited texting or any texting at all. That's why I like the WiFi of it.
It'd take about 3-4 months for me to earn enough money for the Wing, and I might get it for Christmas or my Birthday if I ask.
It'd be more likely for me to get the dash than the Wing for Christmas or my birthday though, because its cheaper. It'd probably take 2 months to get enough money for the dash, though. (I don't get an allowance so that makes it harder.
Thank you for listening to my story.
T-Mobile Wing (Herald) vs. T-Mobile Dash (Excalibur)
Which one do you think I should get?
Also if you don't think any of those phones are the right choice... What do you think?
Thank you very much I hope you help me with my decision, because anyway i have between 2-4 months to burn xD
Welcome to forums
From your options I would go for Excalibur (dash) definetly!!
It is a really good device, keyboard is very good and it´s cheap!
Have a look in marketplace, you can find sometimes real good deals!

Hello, Frankie. Welcome!
Well I prefer Wing actually. It takes 2 months to get enough money for the dash and 4 months for Wing. So why not to wait another 2 months to get a better phone.
As we draw near to the end of the 'noughties' i thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thought was the phone of the decade.
This decade has truely been amazing in the tech its brought us, could we have imagined 10 years agao the devices we could get hold of today???
This thread isn't just about the best spec phone but (that would obviously be won be the most recent devices) but should also be about inovation, cult status, tech breakthroughs etc.
I own a HTC hd2 which is simply an amazing phone!!! 1ghz under the hood, 4.2" capacitive screen, HTC sense etc. Saying that though i think the phone i loved the most was my tytn11. When i first got that phone it was like a car with its handbreak on! eventually the mechanics here on XDA lifted the hand break to create arguably one of the best devices of the decade?
Also as this decade cames to an end a massive thank you to all the devs here at XDA, we, HTC, and Microsoft wouldn't know what to do with out you!!! Heres to the Next 10 years, what will we have in our pockets then????????
Mods, If this thread needs to be moved somewhere please feel free to do so.

Like your thread mate, very well presented but its not the phone of the decade. seems like you jumped the gun in 2008???
Kovski - Sony Ericsson Xperia = HTC???
You are doing lots of polls but i want to know what people think? Its not a straight forward as one better than the other, its about (as i said in my first post) inovation, cult status, tech breakthroughs etc not just about people having the newest device so 'voting for that!'
I'm encouraging people to discuss their thoughts on this so this thread is b=very different to yours.
Oh and putting Please just vote do not post, even if your device is not on the list isn't the way to construct an accurate poll!!
Thanks for your constructive opinions, I got your point and you got mine
On that case I would say that the phone of the decade is HTC Universal

P.d: quote:seems like you jumped the gun in 2008???quote.
Devices presented on that poll from 2008 are older (some from 2003)
Agreed, that is a cracking phone!
Thanks for the reply mate, like i said your threads are great really good work

Y'know, technically there's still another year of the current decade left.
Mine is....
My phone of choice is the palm treo 700w. It was the first phone to get me hooked on wm. Since then i have had the tp, and now i have the tp2 and hoping to get one of my hands on that beautiful hd2. Happy almost Christmas.
HTC's Magician
phone of the decade= HTC's Magician
why= First phone that blew my mind, so small and powerfull (backthen ) 400 mhz, faster than my ipaq!!! I still have the orange m500 version as paper weight I believe the Magician is the true first mainstream smartphone.
For me it is the Apple Iphone due to it pushed mobility to the next decade.
Nokia N95.
Close the thread!
Seriously, 5MP camera, GPS, music, browser, email - it had it all before any other phone did. Some are still trying to catch up. It's a clear winner!

This device was/is packed full of features but lacked......... class? again when this first came out it had a big impact. Issues let it down a bit i think like the fact that the gps was locked to Nokias own navigation software, not much software for it, and the build quality (to me) was terrible?
I have the HD2 but have to agree on the Nokia N95.
The camera is better than any other phone out there still, HD2 comes close though.
It's a bloody tough phone! My brother has dropped his millions of times, cracking the screen and everything and the thing still worked.

Looks like apple is having the same problems as google did with the WIFI there.
You would think that apple would of done something about concidering they came weeks after google and had to of watched their presentation.
And it looks like they won't be able to show some of the key features on the iphone 4... On day one it already gets a black eye.
Move to Off Topic
Respectfully, I don´t think this information is relevant to XDA
Farm ville on iPhone
oh okay orb no problem, xda is a win mob fan site (Me too ) but same time there are some apple fan boys here. This might be useful for them ha ha
It is relevant as most users here are used to phone hardware that is far more advanced than the iPhone.
Not anymore. Yes iPhone OS still sucks and of course there is no hardware keyboard, but the new phones display alone is enough to make me a little jealous. 960x640 makes the 800x480 screen on my Rhodium feel like QVGA. When will WE get display's like this? WinMo obviously never will, and WP7 only supports up to 800x480.
I assume Android could support this resolution, but when? Imagine the HD2's 4.3" display at 960x640! LCD pr0n it would be. HTC needs to get on this quickly.
Wow impressive, Video chat over wi-fi and the app which enables this is FaceTime. Cool.
video chat and the book apps is just bs. On the other hand - the screen, the camera (+LED flash), the processor, and the antenna seem like good innovations. Hate to say it, but... Well done, Apple.

You are right mate
I really hate to sound even a tiny bit pro Apple but what exactly about this new iPhone is fail? Besides the screen size it meets or bests the HD2 in the hardware department. The 960x640 resolution is well beyond anything HTC has produced (or plans to?); considering one of the main perks of our WinMo and Android phones has been the high resolution screens this point alone is pretty important.
Imagine Android hacked onto this new iPhone. Might make it arguably the best non-hardware-keyboard phone out there currently.
Hardware keyboard is still a requirement for me so it is an obvious no go. HTC has some catching up to do now, I do hope they soon announce a new Android phone with as high of a greater a resolution (and screen size, obviously) than the new iPhone.
I agree with MooGoo, further what i have heard is this new iPhone 4G has only 256 MB Ram and dont know how they though that they are going to do multitasking with that?? Either the Phone will slow down or battery power leak or can't open as many application as on win mob. But who knows may be they have done something innovative for that too.
Hardware seems nice. Software is disappointing though, I was expecting them to more towards the cloud a bit more and maybe cut that iTunes leash.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/17/apple-files-another-german-lawsuit-against-samsung-targets-gala/
Apple has filed another lawsuit in Germany against Samsung targeting the GSII and 9 other smart phones for patent infringement. So the saga continues.
Someone answer me this, when did apple come through with a design patent called minimalist.
I'm getting tired of Apple trying to seriously monopolize the mobile market. Especially since the FTC just turns their heads every time Apple does anything. It's a bit beyond ridiculous now.
UPDATE:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/16/...inos-latest-complaint-alleges-17-device/#saga
That's the full saga of apple vs samsung. With new lawsuits claiming that at least 17 devices are infringing upon such patents as slide to unlock, among others.

Now Apple is beginning to target Motorola as well for infringement against intellectual property, this also concerning the slide to unlock patents and others of the like.
Not to mention the lawsuit filed against the BANKRUPT Kodak.
The saga of Apple V. The World needs to end. This is becoming far too disruptive for anyone to complete goals in sales and output of devices and ideas for consumers.
It seems they've lost all interest in the customers and just want to own everything now.
Apple, everyday I hate you more and more. You're making me hate my job in this Apple Specialist Store.
To be honest, I think Samsung saw that one coming. That is why they want to the capacative buttons on the American versions.
They not gonna win. A GS2 is easily recognizable from an iphone, especially with its huge screen.
It's the bigger screen and if you look at the rounded corners it's like the GSII is a football player next to a ballerina. Very broad shoulders on that thing.
The bigger screen isn't going to be enough to save them. Either way...it won't matter. IF apple wins the lawsuit and gets shipments of the GSII halted, by that time the GSIII will be out!
Doesn't take away from the fact that we need every little victory we can get against Apple. Monopolization is bad. (insert demotivational poster here.)
Go Samsung go. Kick some butt

Interesting times we live in. We've had the horsepower wars in the car industry remaining strong for the last two decades, and now we have the gadget wars.
Life couldn't be better for a bachelor like me.

IN their previous claim they manipulated pictures of the SGS so it looks like the 3GS.
Too be honest, I think Samsung took a very close look at what Apple is doing and based drew their lessons, after all: "Good artists copy, great artists steal"!

Apple doesn't realize it but they opened Pandora's box. Apple might have a few design patents, which is always nice, but the majority of the essential tech patents are in the hands of Motorola, Erricson, Nokia and Samsung.
Doesn't matter much about the tech patents because it's all about design. But like I said earlier, the FCC doesn't care who has what when apple is in the picture. I think they all use iPhones lol.

That's a stupid argument. Touchscreens have been on smartphones before that phone. Palm and other windows CE based touch screen phones existed before that.

That doesn't come up much does it? Unless you're talking to a person in the know. The current iPhone4 design is basically the LG Prada. The capacitive touch and the UI design is basically Prada.

Poor Apple.
This is very silly to me its like one LCD or Plasma screen tv manufacturer suing another.
Basically all LCD and Plasma tvs have overwhelmingly similarities. However, they all have a wealth of differences present so that consumers can discern one from the other.
