I have used Windows Mobile on two different gadgets, the last being a HP Business Communicator. I have found the Iphone fits my need for speed better. With shortcuts on the screen, I can go to any application far faster than with Windows Mobile, and it doesn't freeze near as much.

I'm not only an X-windows mobile device owner; I've had a few pocket pc's since 2002.

Here's my standing:
My first PPC
It needed to be “the everything”, “everywhere” device. I wanted to surf the internet, make calls, watch movies, listen to music, get email, find me on a map, SMS/MMS, associate pics to my contacts, have a broad content contact database...it didn't do any of these; well, except play music. Email took an hr to synch. Surfing...HAH! Pay 300$ for GPS equip...HAH! However sound was really very nice and crisp...and to this day my Qtek 1010 still works and is louder than the other phones.

However, everyday there were issues that made this phone insufferable.

Latest edition: Att Tilt 8925
I needed to do all of the above AGAIN. I had very high hopes that this would do it. NO. In fact, this phone was MORE INSUFFERABLE than the qtek. The music sounded crappy and good luck on the mini-usb headphones...HACK! GPS...I had a process which took 15 minutes, but eventually it worked. Calls? What are those? It didn't ring or I couldn't make calls...constantly. Movies...DOUBLE HAHAHA. Unless you preformatted and pushed it to your phone...it wasn't happening. And that CRAP, slop, saw-dust you call a movie viewer developed by some hack on XDA's, triple HAH.

Here's where I think the phone excelled -messaging...the auto-drop word recommendation lists, where very useful...the QWERTY keyboard useful.

But as I stated before, this phone was !@#$#@$% insufferable!! I was literally yelling at this device on a daily basis; because of something SIMPLE I needed to do but couldn’t because of the g*dd*mned phone.

Then I got tired of this shyyt. I bought an iPhone. If that failed I would be lost in the world of PPC's.

The skies turned blue again, and the birds began to sing, and life my friends became much better. You see, without that gnarly, scathing animosity I would have every hour or two from just using the Tilt to perform a SIMPLE function...my life began to take much better shape. Even my boss, who has seen all my PPC's appreciates it...and say's..."that is an awesome phone."

Finally my list is pretty much complete; here's my gags on the iphone...sending SMS messages...SUCKS. Battery life, I want to complain but I can surf faster on this machine than I can a desktop PC. It works 95% of the time...meaning no hiccups, no nonsense, no B.S. Lastly, why are creating playlists on all these devices so impossible. All of them sucked in this arena. Anyway…

I fricking love this iPhone.

I'm a Developer who programs using Microsoft products. If you like to fix things a lot, if you like troubleshooting...a lot, if you like things not to WORK sometimes and not know the reason... Microsoft has a special place for you and a windows mobile device is for that extra special person.

Hey, I admit it...some people just love misery. I was a huge proponent of my WM devices... but I realized that was the only thing working in this relationship.

If you're thinking about getting an iPhone...run, don't walk. Because buying this phone switched the whole dynamic of my software development. My customers experienced much of the same things from my applications. The apple iphone became a model, a mentor, on creating nearly flawless, easy to use, software; and sharing good feelings of value and performance with my customers.

So let’s break it down: you’re still using Microsoft because YOU ARE A LOYAL FOLLOWER. You don’t have the attitude to buy an Apple product. You enjoy solving problems…and lets face it…there are plenty of those on some of these Microsoft Programs/Platforms. I’m not writing off Microsoft, I’m gently waiting for them to ‘get back on the wagon’ and create products of VALUE TO ME. TO ME, ME, ME, I, this little pseudo centric universe called my reality….MEMEMEMEMEMEME. It’s all about me, not Intel, or fricking piracy, or corporate controls, or whatever. It’s about me, and keeping me happy folks. It’s not rocket science.

But SQL Server 2008 is still the BOMB!! ROCK IT!!

I hope you enjoyed my rhetoric.

I originally got the iPhone because of the superior hardware. When I purchased the iPhone 3G last year, it had 16 GB of memory and a 3.5" HVGA screen. In the US my WM choices limited me to a 2.8" VGA screen and at best an 8 GB MicroSD card.

After using the phone I found the following -
The browser is so much better than anything WM offered, I actually enjoyed using it, instead of dreading using it.
The media sync works, unlike my previous battles with ActiveSync.
Thousands of quality applications available at pennies on the dollar compared to WM apps. I could buy 10 apps for the iPhone for what I previously spent on one WM application.
The Capacitive Touch Screen works much better for my needs that they stylus based resistive found on Windows Mobile Phones.
A more stable operating environment -- probably due to the fact Apple didn't need to skimp on RAM or software drivers, and only had to deal with one set of drivers for all devices.

When the 32 GB GS came out I jumped on it right away, and am still pretty satisfied, though the HD2 is very tempting IF IT WAS AVAILABLE today in the US. My biggest gripe with the iPhone is AT&T. Verizon's there's a map for that ads nail it. I often travel to smaller communities for work and find phone stuck on EDGE, while my Employer Provided Verizon AirCard is sailing along at 700+kbs. :(

Funny thing if you look at most of reasons, they really aren't focused on the OS. WM can support bigger, higher res screens. WM can support 32 GB of Flash ROM. Their isn't a technical reason we can't get a quality, stable webkit based browser on WM. If Microsoft cared about the platform they could have delivered a sync solution that was reliable, like they have on the Zune. Apps have always been overpriced on WM, primarily because the distribution channel was so messy and expensive for developers and because most WM developers never saw the value in selling in quantity at a lower price point - because the delivery channels weren't there. Again, something MS could and should have addressed.

I started using the ipod touch in place of the Axim to test if it would work as a PDA and so far so good. Windows moble is kind of stuck in place and there are a lot of apps to choose from, the big problem is there should be a better search method to find apps based on functions needed

This is a bit of a cheat, as I am still using a WM phone, and will not be getting a replacement for another six to eight weeks. However, why do I want an iPhone and not another WM phone? Well:

1. I use nothing but Macs
2. I have all of my music and video in iTunes anyway for my iPod
3. I have a MobileMe subscription for syncing/backup already
4. I've grown pretty disenchanted with WM. Now, I should have known better when I bought this WM 6 Standard phone, but, while I knew that Standard was somewhat crippled compared with WM Pro, I didn't realize just how crippled it was. I didn't realize that there would be so few applications available for Standard; I didn't realize that it would be so difficult to customize the home screen on Standard. I didn't realize that IE was only marginally better than the extremely mediocre PIE that shipped with PPC 2002 and 2003. There are plenty of other things that I dislike about WM6, but I would hope that they are fixed by now. I am fairly certain that Internet Explorer remains an embarrassment for Microsoft, and I really do want to be able to access the web from my phone in a productive way.
5. I am a customer of Verizon Wireless because, though the signal is weak even with them, it was the only company at the time that companies went digital which provided a signal at my house. This was, two years ago, why I chose to stay with Verizon and not get an iPhone. Well, Verizon remains very weak - it sucks battery life, and it frequently cycles between a signal and no signal - and I've learned that we have decent AT&T coverage here now, including 3G data.

Anyway, for those main reasons, and some minor ones (at this point, can anybody actually think that any WM phone that you buy will ever get more than perhaps one firmware update to a new release of WM?), I think that I'd be foolish not to get an iPhone, and I'd be pretty disappointed if I chose to stick with a WM 6.5 device.

I needed a new phone this summer, my ATT HTC died, and the best choice was the new 3S iPhone. I wanted the HTC Touch Pro 2 - or whatever it is going to be called and I wanted to stick with Windows Mobile (user for 3+ years), but the selection of phones was not there. I hope to come back to WM, but right now I am still trying to get use to the iPhone.

Jeremy Lloyd — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 09:46:12 -0000

I bought my 3Gs a few weeks ago after reading the poor reviews for WM6.5 and Marketplace. I have been a WM user since I purchased my Dell Axim X5 soon after their release. Since then I have been a daily user of my Axim X50v and then my Samsung Blackjack.

The reason I switched is that am used to being the "tech guy" to my friends and coworkers and WM has lost the wow factor it used to have. I used to impress friends with my X50v's amazing games, load a bunch of high quality videos onto it to show to coworkers during downtime. The Blackjack was my first innate web enabled WM device (i tethered my X50v to my old sprint phone). Having IE and 3g sufficed for a while but it has been two years and it was time for an upgrade again. I did all sorts of research and had picked out the Tilt2 from AT&T but after the release of the pure and the posting of the Tilt2 price I began to wonder if it wasn't just better to get an iPhone. I pretty much set on an iPhone when Chris posted his "switching" post and sealed the deal. I went out that next Friday on bought my white 32gb iPhone 3Gs.

I'm not sure that I'll go back to WM, I love the iPhone so much now. I don't like the idea of it being a locked down device but it hasn't been an issue for me yet and I can still jailbreak if it becomes one.

I was a WM user for almost 8 years. My wife, a MAC user, bought the iPhone and I tried it one day. Needless to say I found it more intuitive, responsive, a pleasing UI, and the apps were like icing on the cake. I did miss my physical keyboard on my ATT Tilt and I was one that did use the handwriting to take notes in meetings. However, once I got used to the keyboard on the iPhone I never looked back. Another issue was the wait for OS updates. It just seems that Apple has taken most of the drawbacks on other smart phones, WM included, and made them work. I was really hoping that WM 6.5 would be more of a redesign heralding WM 7 cause the new HTC Touch Pro 2/HTC Tilt 2 looked like my dream phone. But alas I'm going to have to stick with the iPhone for now. Unless the HTC HD2 comes stateside as an unlocked GSM phone.

I am not sure if this counts as switching, but I bought an iphone to use on the weekends. I still use my ATT Fuze during the week for work as it's easier to modify my calendar on the fly and it has a real to do list. I have used WM since 2004 after switching from Palm. It just seems like it's gotten too complicated to the point where I can't do much of anything without multiple button or screen presses/taps in spite of trying and tweaking almost every add on UI.

I find the iphone easier to use for email, facebook, as a phone, etc. The bluetooth connections seem more stable. I have added only a few apps (all free) and not tweaked anything. I almost dread swaping my sim back on Monday mornings to go back to the Fuze!

Really simple. T-Mobile, the carrier I was with, didn't carry any decent WM phones. I kept using a WM PDA because of the lack of a decent WM Phone on T-Mo. I did own the Wing but that was a very poor phone and marginal PDA because of memory constraints. Using the Wing was a huge exercise in frustration. I had planned on waiting for the TP2 to come to T-Mobile, but before that happened, the price of the 3G iPhone dropped to $99. At that price, the iPhone was impossible to resist, even though the plans cost was about $30/month more than I was paying to T-Mobile.

Honestly, I miss T-Mobile & WM to some extent, but the iPhone is really filling my needs now. I may come back to WM one day - possibly when my current contract with AT&T is up but we'll just have to see.

Robert Larsen — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:30:24 -0000

In the last 10+ years, I've gone through three Palm devices (Palm V and two Sony Clie -- remember those?) as well as two Pocket PC PDAs (the original Compaq iPAQ 3650 and later the HP iPAQ 5550), before using two Window Mobile phones (the Orange SPV M500/HTC Prophet and the Vodafone v1615/HTC TyTN II).

When the iPhone 2G came out, it wasn't 3G and didn't have GPS, and it was shortly after that when I got the HTC TyTN II. This had everything: 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. etc. That was October 2007.

Then the iPhone 3G came out in summer 2008, and that was quite a compelling device for me, but because I was tied in to my Vodafone contract I didn't get it.

Earlier this year, my 18-month Vodafone contract finished, and I'd already made my mind up to get whatever the 3rd gen iPhone was going to be (which turned out to be the 3GS) -- it was just a case of waiting for it to be announced and become available.

The main reasons I had for switching were:

- the iPhone "just works"
- the iPhone is very responsive (largely due to the capacitive touch screen)
- it's a smaller/lighter device than the HTC TyTN II
- Windows Mobile (in its standard incarnation) needs a stylus to operate

Having said all that, I do not like one bit that Apple operate a closed system. I've recently jailbroken my iPhone, and now I can install pretty much what I want (though I would say that it's still not as open/flexible as WinMo is, especially when it comes to using cooked ROMs available on XDA Developers).

I'm keeping a very close eye on Google Android, and the v2 software just announced looks very interesting. I reckon that in another year or so that platform will be very compelling, especially if HTC come out with and HD2 equivalent for Android.

I was one of the folks who suffered with the axim and mobile5 with all the updates and headaches I then switched to a treo so I could have an all in one device. It was an all in one with great programs and functions ie bibles books music calenders games word processor and spreadsheets, however.... the constant lockups and crashes finally pushed me to the iphone. I suffered with the first generation for a long time because the device had no applications that I needed, it rendered the device to a glorious toy so I kept my treo as a pda and used the iphone as a phone. Great idea but I had to carry two devices. Iphone was so exclusive it made me sick even my expensive sure headphones wouldn't fit due to a recessed jack plug. Now with the 3gs I have documents to go my bibles password apps books and music it is great and most of all very few lockups or crashes. I never got to upgrade my treo to mobile 6 because my pc laptop was lockup and the time period expired for using the upgrade (why did they put a time limit on an upgrade).

I had a Pocket PC all the way back to the Philips Nino. I had a HP Jordana and finally got a Windows Mobile phone (Cingular/Siemens SX66), followed by a Samsung BlackJack and then an AT&T Tilt.

When I got the Blackjack, I was because the iPhone had no 3g. When I got the Tilt, I wanted a better browsing experience. The Browser in Windows Mobile worked on about half the sites I wanted. Opera 9 was an good browser (the least-bad option), but stuck in infinite beta. We were promised a better IE to compete with the iPhone (Fall 2008, really!), but that was going to require a new OS and a new device.

With all of the Windows Mobile devices I owned, I only ONCE got an OS upgrade (the Blackjack to WM6 Standard). In the Windows Mobile OEM/Carrier model, carriers have little financial motivation to offer OS upgrades. I installed cooked ROMs with some benefit, but they are a hassle just to get software that the OEM includes in updated devices, and software plucked from newer devices is hit or miss.

Of all of my Windows Phones, the Blackjack did the best job of being a Phone - it always worked the way I expected it to. The lack of touchscreen and poor browsing experience are the reasons I gave that away. The Pocket-PC Phone (WM Professional) line was still slow in WM 6, and the Phone part always felt glued on, not an integral part.

Ultimately, I went with the iPhone because of the beautiful, capacitive touchscreen and compelling desktop web browsing experience. Do I miss a stylus? no. Do I like the onscreen keyboard? Yes. Is it a good phone? Absolutely.

Say what you want about Apple being too controlling; because they own the hardware platform and the software platform, they have provided an awesome user experience, and -- get this -- they have made available every OS upgrade to all devices - all the way back to the original iPhone. That is simply not possible in the fragmented world of Windows Mobile.

Ultimately, the user experience of the iPhone wins out over all of the minor downsides of the platform. It years ahead of Windows Mobile in 2007, and is only now getting some real competition... from Android.

Sam Hobson — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:18:37 -0000

I decided to grab the iPhone because it's no secret that companies that write software for WinMo (even some manufacturers) try to imitate the iPhone in their designs. Finger friendly, gestures, even the interface looks like the iPhone on some apps, and HTC even knocks of the settings panel with the On Off switch deal.

Since all these guys are trying to imitate iPhone on WinMo, why not try the iPhone? Try what they are trying to copy, and see what all the hype is about. And so I tried it, and I am currently enjoying it very much. It is fun to play with, easy to use, and just cool to have.

Don't get me wrong, I still love WinMo, but I think MS needs to push out a BIG update (like WinMo 6.5.1) before I consider going back. iPhone is more streamlined, more user friendly, while still being a very powerful phone. The screenshots of WinMo 6.5.1 seem to show this streamlinedness. It also shows designs that stray from the bland interface that MS has used since Pocket PC 2000. The interface looks sleek, updated, and cool.

But this is all just me.

I'm currently using the AT&T Tilt and i'm at the end of my 2 year contract. I cannot decide what i want to do next. Got caught up in the hype of the 3GS but the more i hear about apple and the locked platform it makes me wonder. It also make me nervous because i saw someone with gmail setup and they didn't get notifications of new mail... they had to look at the screen to know if they had any new mail. it also seems multitasking is a problem. I'm a huge multitask-er on my phone. while push is coming around doesn't look like everything has it. I almost went for the tilt 2 last week when amazon and walmart had the great deal but i didn't want to modify my voice and data package with at&t. i could probably go to the store and the would just change the phone and leave the packages alone. if i went with the iphone i do think i would have to change the data at least. I'm considering waiting until the next iphone come out or next october or november to see what windows mobile does.
Overall I'm die hard Windows Mobile! I've been using it since 1999 when i got an HP Jornada!
Let me know your thoughts or if you have any suggestions for me.

I was a windows mobile user way back when I got my first hp windows ce 1.0 wide screen.(Black and White Touch screen. I used Windows mobile al the way up to mobile 6.1. I finally left the Mobile phone line almost 1 year ago. The problem was the apps are pricey and Verizon would take a Mobile phone and Just strip it of all its goodies. The only way you got a mobile update is when you up graded your phone. Plus I do not miss the stylist at all. If you never tried the Iphone, You do not know what your missing. Even with mobile 6.5 and 7.0 (If it ever comes out in my life time) I will never switch.

I left WinMo for iPhone because of hype and the simplicity of the interface. I'll probably go back to WinMo, because iPhone doesn't meet my needs for MS Office document editing.

Nate — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:33:44 -0000

I had actually left Windows mobile behind before the iPhone came out. I just found I was not using my Axim as much as I thought I would. Partly this is because it was just not that user friendly. I came back into the smart phone/PDA fold with the iPhone, and I'll never go back to not using one of these devices. They are so much more powerful than before and easier to use. It's not that I'm a technophobe or willing to take on tricky technology, but in the real world of everday use it is the easier gadgets that get the most use and thus are the most useful.

I used an ipaq HX4700 and loved it, but I needed a phone. I got a razr and hated it so I replaced it with an unlocked TyTN. I loved it. Then TyTN 2 came along and I had to have that. I like it, but seemed unstable and slow. Software was expensive. The whole package was inconsistent. When I couldn't even rely on alarms to go off when they should have, I decided it was time to jump ship.

Leave Windows Mobile... I left because they haven't done anything new with it for years. Office, IE, std apps, all the same,functionality, nothing new. WM7 might be cool, but who knows when it's coming out. Also apps are a lot more affordable in the iPhone world...

Re: Attention iPhone users. I need your feedback!

Anna Chavelle — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:33:18 -0000

I had used a HTC touch and before that an Axim. I was happy with the product but after using my daughter's iphone3 I realized how much the GPS , 3gb camera added to the device, when the iphone3gs was launched. I kissed my HTC goodby. The iphone is so easy to use, inexpensive apps and easy sync make me wonder why anyone would buy another smart phone. My one gripe is I am a genealogist and the WM platform had a great app so that my genealogy program could be synced easily to the HTC. FamViewer in the iphone converts my data but not as nicely as the HTC. No enough of a reason to stay with WM. I have had to make a few calls for help the first week I had the phone but none since, I have had to need to do a hard reset yet.

Re: Attention iPhone users. I need your feedback!

IronAndCarbon — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:04:29 -0000

I have been a LONG time Windows Mobile user since 1997, and I still have the devices to prove it, Cassiopeia A11, HP 620LX, Ipaq H3850, Ipaq 3970, Ipaq H5550, Verizon XV6700, AT&T Tilt. For my job, I also support Blackberries, iPhones, Androids, Palm Pre and Windows Mobile. So I am exposed to all of the systems out there. I believe that Windows Mobile is still a good OS, was ahead of its time, and it still has some features that the others don't have.

But, I went to the iPhone over the summer with the 3GS. It was a agonizing decision, and I don't regret it. Things that have disapointed me about Windows Mobile:
1) After 13 years is it too much to ask that the OS be stable and reliable? On my AT&T Tilt that is running WinMo 6.1 I soft reset it more in any given three days than I have had to soft reset my iPhone in 4 months. At the law firm where I work, many of the Attorneys who bought WinMo devices got rid of them because of stability/reliability issues.
2) Applications. The iPhone apps are great. They follow strict guidelines and work well on the system. WinMo apps have always been cobbled together. There were a lot of them, but the lack of standards has contributed to Issue 1).
3) Slow upgrade path. Windows CE 1.0 came out in 1996. Here it is 2009 and we are on Windows Mobile 6.5. 6.5 versions in 13 years. Do the math, that is a new version every two years. The iPhone is on version 3.2 after 3 years. Android is on version 2 after a year. It seems like Microsoft can't even settle on a name, one day its Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, Windows Phone... whatever.
4) Support. What support? Look what someone has to do to upgrade the OS on a WinMo device vs. the iPhone. The best source of support are the power users and hackers, not Microsoft.
5) Ease of use. The interface for WinMo is old, dated and not very easy to use. My wife used one of my old WinMo devices and she HATED it. And she's in IT. She hated trying to get around the interface, she hated that she had to soft reset it. She got an iPhone and took to it like a fish in water. I gave my 10 year old an iPod Touch I got as a door prize. She loves it and gets around easily using it. I tried having her use one of my old iPaq's and she never took to it. I think that says something about the iPhone interface that it is powerful enough to satisfy a power user like me, but easy enough for a 10 year old to use.
6) Innovation. What innovation? Microsoft has been in the mobile space for 13 years. What the hell happened? There is no good reason that they shouldn't absolutely own this market? Now they aren't the market leader, they are the company that people are wondering if it is going to continue in the market. I can't believe that would be Microsoft.
7) Marketing. I can't watch primetime TV without seeing an iPhone commercial. I have NEVER seen a WinMo commercial. Who does Microsoft expect is going to buy their products? Microsoft used to understand Marketing. What happened?

I would love to go back to Windows Mobile. I have my eye on the HD2. But I am going to hold out for WinMo7 and see if it fixes any of the problems I have with WinMo. If it doesn't I won't give WinMo another look, because there won't be anything to see.
