Windows Mob is the best. iPhone OSX still can’t compare. The little probs of lag have been solved with the most recent mobile versions check them out.

I used to love MS WM, but it crashed on me VERY, VERY often. I does Multitasking, but to what price?, SLOW performance. WM6.5 or WM7 maybe kick ass OSs, but to little to late, don’t you think?, I waited for a almost 2 years, since the first iphone come out, but nothing good from MS to keep me happy; yes you guessed it, now I own an Iphone (currently with 3.0beta4), A2DP, promising. And yes it’s the apple way, but I have to say that is much better way than the MS (Ballmer) way. If you iphone it’s sort of limited, you can always jailbreak it and get it over with. Don’t get me wrong, I am a PC too, but on the phone arena, I will not put my hands on fire for WM, yet. Windows7 it’s really nice desktop OS, I will not trade it for OS X, but as I said, on the portable devices, Iphone it’s a great device. With Iphone 3.0 now you can do some of those things that you couldn’t before, yes, it may still have limitations, but I will still be buying an Iphone over a WM phone anytime soon. Take it from me, don’t depend on just one company (thanks Mike P), instead there’s a pool of companies doing different things; just pick whatever satisfies your needs. I was waiting on a device with big screen, I like to watch video on my phone, enter the HTD Touch HD with it’s beautiful 4 inch screen size with the rumored WM7 on it, but what happened? the HTC Touch HD wasn’t available for US and it only came out with WM6.1, G1 was another option, frankly, too bulky. What some companies don’t realize it’s that people choose their devices based on other factors than just the OS but a combination of things. For me, large screen (for video playback and Browser real state), touch screen, unlike other people, I don’t like physical keyboards (landscape on-screen keyboard on Iphone it’s great), my long awaited A2DP, and the most decent MP3 player combo; I was sold, sorry WM.

iPhone doesn’t have streaming mp3 Bluetooth compatability. I bet you can use your moto headset to make calls with though. You should consider researching the products you buy first, prior to trying to do thing with them in which they were not designed to do.

Do you have a link to said youtube commentary? I am wondering (like possibly many after reading this confusingly structured article :-)) why you ditched the Fuze in the first place.

should have stuck with WM6, now 6.1. The IPhonev is clearly over hyped. Windows is more “open” to what you want to do. Apple; it’s their way or the highway.

Good luck with that. The IPhone has a great interface but useless for business overall. Most of the apps are lame and for kids; that’s if you get them to work in the first place without having them brick your phone.

WM FTW for me. It’s only going to get better as the competition continues. Which is good for both Apple and MS.

Hello,

There actually is a YouTube application on the AT&T Fuze. It is located as \Device\Windows\YouTube.exe on the device. Is this what you were looking for?

Gilbert said he is very interested in comments, so here are a few…
1st, Hotmail, while suitable for web based access, sucks for desktop or phone access. At least their is an acceptable Hotmail mobile app. Personally, I use Hotmail to collect Junk mail… Get another account, which brings us to:
Yahoo – while you may need to pay Yahoo for Pop access, a regular web based email = which included Push IMAP support for the iPhone, is free! If you are willing to check email in a web browser on the desktop, and using the built in reader on the iPhone, there is no money you need for Yahoo…
Lastly, Google. While you sacrifice your privacy in that all google email is mined for information, Google provides the ONLY free IMAP account I know of, that allows access through desktops, the web, and iPhones. WHile it does not have push email, it certainly is one of the best complete solutions, and is free!

As for Bluetooth, don’t even go there. This is one of my big gripes with Apple – no stereo bluetooth support. I have become used to wearing my Apple Earbuds all the time…

I don’t want to be that guy, but I almost stopped reading this article. It was too difficult. Your use of commas was absurd. At some points, I had to re-read a sentence three times to understand what you were trying to say. Maybe if you do more posts you can use commas correctly. Please?

First, of course the Windows Mobile device works better with Hotmail and at no cost. It’s a Microsoft product integrating with another Microsoft product. Add in the fee to make it work with non-Microsoft devices and you’ve got the typical barrier to entry that Microsoft creates for its competitors.

Regarding Live search: Again, Microsoft product on a Microsoft product. At least on the iPhone, you have Google.

If you step outside the Microsoft ecosystem, don’t expect Microsoft to be accommodating.

What we should all strive to do as a body of consumers is to not be so dependent on any one company that we get all of our solutions from them, and thus locking ourselves into an abusive relationship that we can’t escape. Many enterprise organizations, like mine, have that problem with Microsoft right now.

Yeah, you can use iPhone on the free yahoo! service. I am using it every day. Try it! Kinda odd of yahoo! though.
