You dont get it, the iPhone is for people who want a new iPod and a phone. the iPod on the iPhone is one of the biggest selling points. Its got a gorgeous screen and it syncs flawlessly with iTunes, MS Outlook..etc. Not to mention the awsome Safari Browser and Gmaps. You say W960 is the king, well I can find a million other people who can claim other smartphones are the king..so you can go all day trying to press your opinion on others..

Since everyone has an iPod they'd rather use iTunes and iPhone rather than some other player. Also the UI on the iPhone is great..it just takes some getting used to.

Watch this..for more info about iPhone it goes into details..

true story. of course, this is not a comparison of smartphones. this is a comparison of competing phones. your thinking like im comparing an M3 and RS4, and your saying the M5 owns em all. well duh!

but between the 2, sure, u cant use itunes, but thats it. thats the only selling point apple really has. not to mention (once again, like infinit and bmw) apple is new to this (infiniti), sony has been in this for a longgg time(bmw). u know who invented blue tooth right? sony ericsson. the only reason why apple continues to dominate cause their market is full of retarded teenagers that buy the phone to be "hip". lol, those who look beyond fitting in with everyone, see utopia. but if ur comparing the phones for their sole purpose, w960 def. pwns the iPhone. its just hype. face the facts man....

and i dont know about you, but i enjoy hard buttons to press. all of my smartphones have buttons, be it on the flip, or concealed inside. plus, because apple is new to the cell phone scene, their phones are laced with errors, and bugs. you wont see them all now, but wait 4 months. its like owning a 700hp evo. yeah, it kicks ass, but will fall apart in 2 months of light use, versus having a Ferrari F50, built to exceed with its heritage, and commitment to quality.

And that can be said the same about BMW "I have a BMW, im better than you". Thats not why people people buy either products..well some do..not all.

And iPhone is more like BMW, becuase its popular like BMW and it has a new interface that not everyone likes...iDrive..
But people who have iDrive and iPhone love it cuz they are used to it and its intuitive. Just like how Benz, Infiniti, Audi copies BMW. Well if you read engadget you will see that Nokia and Samsung has just copied Apple's UI.

I have nothing aginst Sony Ericcsson, infact they used to be my fav company. I love the high rez camera they have on the phones, but iPhone just has so much more for me.

well, its really up to the persons individual taste. one thing that seriously pissed the shit off of me was the no back button!!!!! jesus christ! that intuavision or whatever they call it, needs some work. for me, the ericsson is just more practical and well built phones. we can only see as time comes. but for me, when im choosing bet. the iPhone or the W960, there is just no doubt about it (for me).

W960 FTW.

thats a story to tell your grandchildren ahahah. im a hands on kind of guy. i must say, i never liked the iPhone. i came towards it with a negitive attitude, but was convinced by one of my mates. im strongly against apple, so i never enjoyed supporting them. and never did. i sold that phone to one of my friends and only lost about 20 bucks. anywho, once i get teh W960, ill make sure to get back teh iPhone for a week and make a nice little write up. im going to sleep, cause i cant bare to wait for my lady to get back home. time is just gonna pass by soo slowly

Well there ya go, you cant go into a product hating it even before trying it. In that case no matter what you will hate it. If you find a little problem you will find a reason to say oh it sux and the product is not for me. Apple is not what it was 5-10yrs ago. It has come back and is not growing rapidly...just look a its stock price over the last 3 years.

Not needed . The UI is made so you dont need a stylus. Like browsing in Safari, you dont need to press up and down on the scroll bar or left and right. Nope just use your finger anyone where on the screen to move it. Pinch to resize and double tap to zoom in.
