I'm happy with my Samsung Sync but a free iphone would be quite nice.

I think the sheer intuitiveness of the iPhone will win this one.

By: Jordan Hanna

iPhone is my first, and ya I'd probably choose G1 for my second. Maybe the voyager

I deserve to win this. I've commented on every roundrobin thread, every day.

Window's mobile is nice. My friend has it on his Fuze. Pretty neat

I agree with Firas and Amani. The iPhone isn't perfect, but it is fun, more than the BB Curve I have now.

By: Amani

Amani — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 07:55:49 +0000

If I'm looking for a good time(which I am) I would go for the iphone but if I had really business needs i would have to probably say winmobile

By: Firas

Firas — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 04:35:52 +0000

Pure and simple. The iPhone is not perfect, but it is the only smart phone that I can call absolutely fun. I cant say that for any other smart phone.

Nice video...iphone is still the best!

Great video! The iPhone is looking good; I can't wait for my contract to be up to buy one.

Nice video! Thanks!

Nicely done video. He picked up on all the strengths and saw the weaknesses that we all know about.

Although he commented on how long it takes to search for a contact, there is a shortcut he missed. To get to the contact search at the top, you can just tap the clock or status bar above and it will skip you to the top. This applies to many apps, including safari. On another note for jailbreaking, there is an app that can search for contacts and also apps right from the home screen. It's called QuickGold and it id much faster, but I'm guessing he's gotta stay stock for the review.

Well thanks for the review and I'll be waiting for the full one.

The iPhone is only a stop and go phone when it's new to the user. It takes a while to get the hang of the keyboard and even longer to trust the auto correct. I can type pretty fast while walking now. I've found that you really only need to get CLOSE to the keys you want to type, for the most part. For example, I know where the 'L' is so I hit the right side of the screen somewhere in it's general direction and the phone gets it based on what I'm typing. You learn what words it doesn't correct for you (I can't count the number of times I've types 'fir' instead of 'for'). If anything, it makes it frustrating to go back to a real keyboard. My friends tell me that my texts are so grammatically correct now. Punctuation, capitolization, spell checker, it's just easier to type the actual word rather than the shortened SMS version. I really wish the iPhone had a charecter counter in the SMS app though so I can stop sending a text that sends 1 or 2 words in a seperate message.

Very nicely done review. I didn't actually research into the other devices as much as I had liked to before purchasing my iPhone 3G but from my experiences and the reviews we've been seeing from the other smartphone experts who have gotten a chance to use the other platforms, I'm quite happy with my purchase.

It's so beautiful

I thought this was a very well done fair review of the iPhone from a windows mobile user pov. I don't agree that this is a stop and go phone one bit, and would say the deffiniton of a stop and go phone is the palm treo. Other then this was a great vid and I think deep down he secretly loves our phone.

It was a good review but the iphone isn't a stop and go phone. Granted you have to look at the keyboard to type, but just barely as it starts to become instinctual after a the first few days.

I am new in the Iphone World, but I began to like the phone. Ok, there IS a battery problem, but I had WinMo phones and had even more problems with the StandBy-Time.

iPhone with Standby-Time of a Blackberry would be great!

Great video! GO iPhone! It is definitely the best OS on the mobile market, and this video just backs up that theory.

iPhone rules.

iErik — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:37:13 +0000

Very good assessment! To me he pointed out everything that needed to be. From the video i came to the conclusion that iphone is still the most powerful mobile platform on the market. Keep up the good work TIPB!

Weirdows sucks. I wouldn't use it for $0.00 per month.

while I respect Dieter's opinion I have to disagree with his speed comments and the iPhone being a stop and go phone. It's all relative to the user so maybe in his particular case that is true. For me I find the exact opposite. WM is by far the slowest of OS's out there. Again, for me personally. And yes I have even owned the latest and greatest WM has to offer. (HTC Fuze).

I'm going to comment, but I'm not sure if I want to win the 3G as I hear waiting for the phone to pull up feature rich (not wap versions) is a real pain. Thanks for the good content and comparisons.
