The really stupid thing is that my 2 year old HTC Wizard costs less (under $200) and does MORE than the iphone.
HTC has since made better phones.
Windows Mobile is not as intuitive (barely), but at least it plays MP3s, avi’s, mpg’s, etc. and supports third party software… software which, by the way, lets you make your Windows Mobile device (under $200) LOOK AND ACT EXACTLY LIKE AN IPHONE (except with more functionality).
It also has a slideout keyboard that is way better than the IPhone’s touchscreen keyboard… it’s actually usable and fast! But if you have a Windows Mobile device and you want to type slow it comes with a software keyboard that’s almost exactly like the IPhone’s (or you can have it be Palm style, or even just write the words on the screen with the stylus and it recognizes your handwriting–script and print).
