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

[Jonathan]

Dick,

My g/f is running an Iphone (1st gen) and her boss has the new 3G..his 
Biggest complaint thus far is the battery life is significantly shorter 
then before..to the point where he's turned the 3G off...w/ the two of 
them comparing data speed/time they were often Very close, many times w/ 
the gen 1 phone being quicker..go figure.

I'd stick w/ what you have for the moment:)
