[W126 Coupe] OT: Windows Mobile vs. Apple OS

[Dick Spellman]

Hi all,

I've been running a Mobile 6.0 cooked rom (not the vanilla ATT/Cingular 5.0
version) on an HTC 8525 for the past 2 years and have been very happy with
the set-up.  But, I thought I'd ask what others think about the newest Apple
iPhone with 3G.

I know Microsoft took an OS and then tried to make it into a mobile user
interface (ui) leaving me with frequent use of just the finger nail or the
stylus.  It seems Apple started with the UI and built a most elegant and
efficient touch flow solution that everyone raves about.

I've got a lot of time invested in the HTC 8525 with all of my apps and
customizations.  It does get great battery life, has a camera, flash,
flashlight, stereo bluetooth, and movie capture all of which I use with
daily frequency while traveling and for work.

So, while I see the IPhone winning hands down on the UI and now presumably
offering 3G speeds, what about what some are saying as very short battery
life when running a VPN to company exchange server as well as living without
the above features.

Should I take the iPhone plunge or wait things out for a while more?

Regards,
Dick
