iPhone 3G vs The Rest: Challenge Review

[crby101]

i got a iphone, and honestly the interface is fantastic, not to mention the app store and all that...

[alexvat1995]

Htc evo 4g

[pe11arl]

IPHONE IS THE BEST THERE IS..

[jflexe99]

ehhhhhh, i had one, just got a blackberry bold, bold is better

[60HOODCRIP187]

with iphone 3g and 3gs u can type either from tha side view or tha top

[TehkProductionZ]

@60HOODCRIP187 Yup. Portrait, or landscape.

[ahxcjb]

Since when was Opera Web Browser Open Source?!?!

[alsamuef]

There's something that iphone has that the competition does'nt have: and that's the desing feeling that i can not explain...

[hansonkewl06]

iphone sucks

[ka0tix]

It's funny that you're bringing up something like a "Swwastika Nazi sign" while trying to defend Apple, a company that's notorious for limiting the user capabilities on every product it's ever released. And overcharging, too. And the iPhone doesn't always win. Camera's crappy, it's not as powerful, and no sideways Qwerty keyboard? That's a bit of a disappointment, I'd say. Apple doesn't make good products, it uses good marketing.

[braydenmartindale]

Camera is "crappy" is it ? Really because my my Blackberry Curve has the same 2.0 MP camera but why do the pictures come out much clearer brighter AND more colors on the iPhone !? And FYI if you actually OWNED and iPhone you would know that the vertical keyboard is much easier and better to use and honestly I dont even remember why i did bring it up why would I want to deal with you anyways !?

[redspade04]

my last phone was a 5mp and i might have took 5pics and 2mov. my iphone the same except ive actually taken a lot of movies but thats only cause i went to disney. to clear up a few things, the htc runs of 3g. 3g is the fastest out right now. 4g is coming to uk soon but no word for the us. you gotta use the phones for a few days really to understand why the iphone is the best. i dont feel like getting into it but message me and ill pwn.

[beekerfishmania]

OMG it's a phone, can they still make calls?

[PunkyBrooster84]

every day I find something new for my iPhone...I am not a Apple fan but I respect Apple because they implementer in 2 years what nokia,samsung,se and other's don't implementer in 100 years!!!!! Just think out in 5 years what Apple will going to do with the iphones!!!

[NIkeAir26]

haha apple fanboys are dead in the water!

[littlesin12]

Finally a person that reviews who is not an Aplle Fanboy! THANK YOU!

[tintingkc]

What worth while self respecting reviewer would do a review without the phones in hand. Oh... and only a moron would use higher megapixels as a benefit. More doesn't mean better. Its the quality of the processor and use of the pixels it uses. Wast of the 2 min that I did watch.

[XnoneofyourbuisnessX]

that is shit he dosnt know jack shit bout any of the phones! by the way the iphone 3g is the BEST!!!!!!

[hereacostin]

you are an american don't you? :) yah you are... that's why you will not understand any of the rational thinking here.

[redspade04]

sorry i am late on this but so what if he is. uk and america i always thought got along... except for the bush. to clear up on this guy about its harder to change minds here, thats o2 fault. i wish everyone would do their home work and not be so close minded. so im going to hafta agree with the american... iphone is the best, english prick.

[braydenmartindale]

I agree with you on the American thing , I'm Canadian and I dont plan on going to the US anytime soon to be insulted LOL but iPhones do pwn I owned a blackberry curve and then an iPhone , the iPhone obviously won

[sebi2cool4you]

u suck you don't have one and you comment on it!?? fuck you

[hamburgtrini]

Omnia + sb mobile shell and the rest could go home

[splodge69552]

i think this review is bias against the iphone. this dude seems to just be giving a generic comparison of hard stats but i can safely say having have actually lived with and used these devices the iphone comes out tops. the wm6.1 O.S is seriously buggy and needs alot of work. the iphone is easy to use and doesnt freeze lyk 3 times a day and is more finger friendly

[domineus]

sure it does! the iphone freezes a lot actually when trying to multitask in applications. The one thing that the iphone doesn't have is customization - the user is locked into what you can do (even after a jailbreak).

IF you are a user that needs to change your settings on the fly, iphone is not it. It is a good media phone, very simple (almost too simple) but thats a large problem with it. Windows mobile has errors, I won't lie, but it is FULLY customizable.

[sexykiesa1]

apple are gonna release this app that lets u send picture messages and there gonna relese an app that lets u copy and paste

[sexykiesa1]

you can get an iphone3g video recorder from the app store now

[sexykiesa1]

nearly every touchscreen phone these days are just a copy to the iphone3g

[sexykiesa1]

samsung omnia is a copy to phone

[tesroz]

Samsung omnia...or HTC HD when it comes out=D

[zakkara1]

I think i gonna go for the Samsung Omnia. I like it best cause it has windows and you can expand the memory with 16gb which means you can have 32gb memory in total. And thanks to the windows os I think there will be alot of apps to download which you can have good use for.

Last but not least you've got the amazing 5Mp camera which also can videofilm with VGA.

Doesn't all this make it THE phone of the year then tell me what is?

[lnatan25]

I preferred the Diamond rather than the Omnia because of the better screen resolution (VGA on the Diamond versus the WQVGA on the Omnia).

[any122]

yooo!! msg me! id is in my profile on the top. <3 muah bye N

[rex3453]

Hmm, seeing how most of the things he said were assumptions since they didn't have one, you have to give the guy credit, even if some of the stuff he said are bullshit, like the video one.

[misterleoni]

HSDPA speed has no bearing on upload speed (duh!). anything above 3.6mbps makes little difference to browsing speed, it's all in the capabilities of the browser. Opera Mobile 9.5 is great but still falls short.

Much as I lamented the 2megapixel camera on the Iphone I can now see the logic: the smaller file size allows quick uploading of photos through applications such as Facebook 2.0 without shrinking.

[Aiface]

He mentions that the omnia should come with a stylus. but what this phone has that all the others do not is a touch sensitive cursor at the bootom of the phone that acts as a mouse, and u can control the sensitivity of it, so you can browse without leaving fingerprints on the screen.

[Narwaffle]

notice how he says " just like the iphone " when he was talking about that diamond phone. obviously all "the rest" are just bludging off iphones success and copying apples ideas. its so obvious its not even funny.

[PDzero]

What a crappy review. The only thing they seem to focus on are the tech specs of all these phones, not so much the software. Honestly, I have yet to see a phone thats as good as the iPhone. Sure it's not the most advanced phone hardware wise and the OS is still missing some stuff like copy-paste and Flash, but it's by far the easiest to use "advanced" phone on the marked, and that to me, is more powerful than any phone with great hardware but poor software. IPhone all the way!

[josephbehrens]

poor review,, did not hit on many topics

[lukey4567]

does the camera man need a piss! He cant stand still

[Evostance]

He seems like he's pissed in the pub lol

[MrCHISOL]

If you are thinking buying of any of these products (or similar), PLEASE find more info from somewhere else.

Don't take what this guy (or MegaWhat?) says as the definitive truth..

I don't think he's lying, and he takes up things that's true, BUT: I can't find much of on stable "technical base" that he is(/should) base his arguments on and I'm actually concerned about how much research he has done. (He brings up things like "People don't Like Windows 6.1")

I'm not a "mobile-expert" (nor win-fan).

[sjaki007]

Yes, the facts that he says is wrong about iPhone 3G - there is a point-to-point teller in the GPS in iPhone 3G

[TuzBoy]

also i do believe that the 3G speed was based upon something on AT&T's homepage, not the iphone :P

[zsoahlaeiebm]

Great video :), u said my mind out loud

[ahf1983]

Samsung Omnia i900 it's cool

[A216shadoW]

this guy doesnt know all that much about the stuff he reviews, look at the gibson robot guitar vid

[Goldroom3]

iphone does suck, its for people who wears a skirt its design for women. Follow the trend, first it was the razor now the iphone. only thing it has is the web browser, try texting on it so damn slow.(need more memory please) the mobile me please another 10 dollars a month to recieve picture messages.

[xscreenxnamesx]

Oh my god are you kidding me?! "for people what wears a skirt"? ok learn your english first please, its people who wear skirts. and that's extremely insulting to women. god it's probably why you can't get a date

[superbrar]

wait, so which phone do you want dude?

[prooc]

This guy is an idiot. So Tom Tom, stated that they'd devlop softer for gps, but because it hasn't happened yet, this idiot doesn't believe it. And you can watch flash videos too you just have go to livebuster.

[nikomof]

its kinda fun that every1 who writes Iphone FTW or Iphone is the BESSST!!!! Dont actually have a Iphone themselves but they just want one...

talk about ads that work...

[anthonyzxD]

iPhone 3G FTW ^^

[jordan003]

I don't understand why everyone's only talking about iPhone's downfalls.

[res08hao]

Windows in any form sucks.

[kingzach74]

Hell no! The LG Voyager is MUCH BETTER!

[djalex2fou]

IPHONE THE BESSST!!!!

[jordan003]

No mm? You do know that you can send MM to email addresses and that iPhone has Push Email, right?

[superbrar]

What is push email????

[jordan003]

Its where you don't have to check your email, it automatically updates. You can set how long between each update to maximize battery life.

[Leltof]

Well apparently things like multimedia texting, copy/paste, and a better megapixel camera haven't been enough of a factor to keep Apple from selling 1 million iphones in its first weekend...

[kuukucade]

buying iphone is like licking G.W.Bush's ass.....,,,haha

[ThomasLyon1993]

this may sound stupid but what is windows mobile

is it bad?

does the samsung tocco have it as i just orderd one

[mantiniho]

IPHONE AND BLACKEBERRY are the best cuz the blackberry is a smart phone for business and iphone for media, wathcing movies and ipod built in but others try to put everything into theyr phones like camera ... well i dont need crappy camera !! 5MPX is low i have camera for photos.. i mean a REAL camera.

so i think blackberry and iphone are the most original phones on a market now

[perrrry]

I told my self Mantiniho that you must be an american...and I was right when I pushed your name. Shubb your patriotism up your ***. Blackberry isn't even competition for the many asian brands...Iphone? Well it has an amazing software and touchscreen...nice finish..But oh my, it lacks so much!

[aznisles]

I could've sworn BlackBerry originated from Canada.

[monnie110]

He keeps listing having windows mobile on it as a downside. That's a huge plus! It's like more then a smartphone and rather closer to a palm pc that's awesome!

[assclown364]

I hate iPhone knockoffs...

[djalex2fou]

apple iphone still the best of all

[bueasa]

thank you i was going to buy iphone 3g

but now i think samsung i900

[azcardinalsaz]

My computer's been messed up on youtube...I tried to comment on the comment that was marked as spam...sorry panzer4u...I wasn't talking to you

[xrangerx]

misleading saying 3mp is better than 2mp. Software plays a big role. No mention of that for HTC. The iphone 3g has substantial better software than the previous iteration.

[Aturayd]

the Diamond has an Autofocusing camera. The iphone doesnt. HUGE difference.

[jordan003]

Actually it does have radio [check the apps] and Multimedia Messages can be sent to either a phone or an email address, just tell your friends to send it to your email rather than your phone. And I want to know why everyone thinks the iPhone is supposed to be some high tech camera? Steve Jobs called it a widescreen iPod, a phone, and a portable data service. Not a Nikon. And since the contact lists were specially designed for ease there's no need for voice dialing.

[punisher161991]

iphone 3G will be the phone of the year.

yes a "stock" iphone is lacking in some features but with my jailbroke iphone i have awsome 3D games, MMS, and a video recorder with sound. dont believe me? search for the video's here on youtube. so anyway im sure most of these features will be availible for the iphone in the app store.

[dan2max]

iphone 3g is better then that crap

[panzer4u]

but I like the htc. maybe if I enlarge phone, give it a lower resolution, remove the 3.2mp and put in a 2mp camera, disable media messaging of any kind,remove the conferencing camera, refuse to use video recording, slow the data service, disable bluetooth, pay more for my service, restrict gps capabilities and chain myself to steve jobs and his corporate bag of tricks(ie. if we throw them a bone they will keep paying for it) I will feel better about using the diamond.:) Then again, maybe not!

[azcardinalsaz]

You are an idiot

[panzer4u]

Thats possible, did you come to that conclusion for any particular reason or are you just an apple fan? Maybe my information is wrong?

[azcardinalsaz]

See...again it posted in the wrong spot...that was supposed to go under you not bueasa

[flip917]

Did you forget about the TyTn II issue that only happen a few months ago? HTC honest to good is so much worse than apple. At least the Iphone works unlike my kaiser *tear*

[panzer4u]

Actually I'm not familiar with any particular issue with the kaiser. Theres so many! After all its a windows phone. For us geeks we have just become accustomed to most of these problems. The iphone is awesome in so many ways and then ol'stevey cripples so many features that I wouldn't dare buy it. It's like having a Lotus with a john deere engine, but that's america I guess. Make a product that will be obsolete in a couple months and then the suckers will come back for an upgrade. No offense.

[mikeinchains]

anything that runs windows mobile SUCKS

[mikeinchains]

tom tom is making software .......the highest mp on a phone is 5mp its a phone not a camera who gives a shit about copy and paste loser you dont have to use a wired headphones there are wireless headphones you can use do some more reseach douchebag

[gellokd]

MY NAME IS JONAS

[wesscoast]

They try to put down the iPhone? You forgot to mention the big announcement. iPhone is now 3G and costs 200 bucks. HTC is like 800 bucks. You... missed that?

[rell127]

well i agree with you but your not puting the feathers it has more feachers don't forget the iphone when it first came out was really expensive

[panzer4u]

you forgot to mention the extra fees in the plan to make up for that extra special low-cost:)

[rell127]

but i seen some people in Europe that have the diamond t-mobile in Germany and in france

[seifip]

You can get the Diamond even cheaper with contract (iPhone is ONLY sold with contract)

[UrbanAndTurban]

never touch a windows mobile phone...waist of time, money, effort! it will annoy the crap out of you!

[howee100]

I kind of agree with you, but with a little effort Windows Mobile is o.k..

Plus you would not be waisting your money as far as the on board spell checker was concerned.

[rell127]

they aren't that bad well compare to the iphone of corse

[ibmxx]

I was hoping that they would have a Palm OS simulator onit because lots of my old programs still need this to run,including many of the medical dictionaries and resources that we need.I really thought they would get more support for this portion of the market, however,even after the introduction of epocrates and the mims company for the radiographs,this is still not enough. most students will be buying pda's soon for this upcoming med schoolyear and there is just not enough incentive for iphone.
