It was soooo slow and a major pain to use every day. I felt that Dangers sidekicks was a better user experience then windows. Too bad that it ended up as a closed system. I feel that apple ,while closed now, will not let the carriers dictate the future of the devices true potential. The iPhone, unlike window moble, will continue to get better every month or so. There will be some more surprises to look forward to ;)</p> I traded in my motola Q with window moble and I could not be happier . It was soooo slow and a major pain to use every day.

The impact iPhone will have on the mobile industry will change everything. So much in fact that, some platform may not stand the test of time, as I believe will ultimately be the case with RIM and Symbian.

Microsoft is the wild card. They are the only player in this game that has the potential to answer Apple.

But you'll have to wait for my review to read my full opinion. Coming soon. I promise.

If so, I think we have a credibility issue here as those two statements totally contradict each other.
