It WAS the best - my wife has one, i have the HTC Kaiser/ Att tilt
the new official opera 9.5 browser- works just as well as the mobile safari browser - the ONLY thing they don't have yet is the pinch zooming, but a quick double click on the screen and your zoomed in - and the text formats to fit the width of the screen, its pretty cool. AND i'm already 3G- by the fall, it will be 7MB vs. 3 mb down i'm sure the upcoming 3g chip is in the iphone - basically a year behind
I also use Pocket Player 3.6 with an 8gb micro card and have just as much music and flexability as the first Gen iphone - 16gb cards will be out momentarily and 32 gb cards within the year
kaiser has a driver problem so movies, don't get there, BUT i have a removable battery which means i could actually watch more than her.
i also have a iphone dialer skin
the new HTC diamond has a vga screen,
iphone was a remarkable innovation and set the pace - but WM is catching up - the key though, is iphone does it out of the box - so its idiot proof.
The flip side is WM is more powerful, but requires more knowledge.
and, reality is, i couldn't give up my tom tom
