That right there is the problem, aside from liking the Dodgers. People streaming video to their damn phones is what's killing the network.

Anyone who is smart will not be getting a I-phone anything. The locked down nature of the OS, the fact they don't get flash, and the non industry standard practices make for a **** phone.

The way to go is Android, or Windows m7, both support flash, both are strict industry standard,both support open SDK and cross platform use (you can develop for both on any platform not just one like apple). Both do not support the proprietary "itunes" load and music system.

The only reason people by the apple is the "cool" factor. People who are in the know, who use their brains to look at the problems with smartphones, will avoid the i-phone every time.

^^ because windows mobile is a solid platform, let me just give you a small list of the worst phone ever made...
Samsung black jack
Samsung black jack 2
HTC tilt
HTC tilt 2
HTC fuze aka "the confuse"
Samsung Jack

the list goes on and on man.

I have reports that show the most returned phone/exchanged phones for all cell phone providers. Three phones stand out for the lowest return rate and warranty exchanged phones. Three best selling phones are apple Iphone for AT&T, all blackBerrys (AT&T, t-mobile, Verizon, and sprint) and now the Verizon original Droid phone. The most warranty exchanges and returns with in the first 30 days of service are ANY windows based phones.

I've played with the droid phones and they suck in their own ways. At the end of the day the iPhone is enough to handle my needs: phone, music, internet access.

Until you have touched and played with an iPhone 4g, I don't care what you have to say about it.
This.

Your list can say all it wants, but here is the facts...

Full active sync w/push: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only
Dual exchange server access: Android only
Full access exchange features: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only
True multitasking: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only
Scalable CPU access: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only
Industry standard web protocol use: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only
Open SDK: Android Only
Full 2 way VPN: Win7 only
Sonicwall applications: Win7 only
Remote desktop connect: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only
Full domain access remote: Android, win 6.5 & 7 only


The list goes on and on. Apple is a toy, its a cute little phone for people who don't need a powerful platform. It is, like all of apple products, marketed and sold to people who are not capable of thinking beyond a one button mouse. People who don't understand half of what I listed up above, and who think "Microsoft" just makes windows. People who have no clue what exchange 2010 is and the power it brings, and last of all people who don't really grasp what a smartphone is for, past playing cute games.

You should just stop while you're behind.
