I dont know any rational person who can claim that apple has the "best" device.

What they do have is the best marketed device and a very loyal cult like following.

3G service in Utah is bad...more like 1G.

Speeds are not where they need to be...

I'm curious to know of the iPhone users that are actual mac/Apple users as well.. I'm guessing MANY of the iPhone users are Windows users.

With that said, anyone that knows about apple and how they work, apple likes to have their stuff 'work'... and so far, it does.. unlike Windows/PC.

There's a reason why apple is protective of their stuff... if they weren't, then apple would just be another electronic device on-par with the rest of the sporadic-working mobile and computing world.

I have both PC and apple stuff and by far am happier with apple.

To this date, and with all it's faults, the iPhone is still BY FAR the best mobile phone/mobile computing device on the market as far as capabilities..

"Why is it that the iPhone bashers seem to know very little in the way of facts about the device?"

... becuase people around here seem to have diarrhea of the fingers and are in a hurry to get their "opinions" out which usually don't lead to anything factual, rather, emotions.

Yeah, I think you're right.

The iPhone certainly has it's shortcomings, but it seems like the biggest bashers are the ones who have obviously never used one before.

I really like my iPhone, shortcomings and all, and that's after using Blackberrys, HTC's, and the like. Really, they all have shortcomings, it's just a matter of which ones you can deal with compared to the features you gain.

My feeling is that if you're going to bash the iPhone, fine, but at least know what you're talking about when you do!

As a person who also straddles both sides of the fence, I agree with your statements. I use Windows at work and at client site. Most of my infrastructure at home (I have several servers on a home network) are Windows-based; I'm starting to play around a little with Linux (Ubuntu) on one of them.

But my personal laptop-- the computer I use the most, and would miss the most-- is a MacBook Pro. I initially got it because I really liked many of the hardware features. After using it for a very short period of time, I came to the same conclusion you have: I prefer Apple because it "just works". The OS may be more restrictive, and you might not be able to skin everything in the world without using third party software. The hardware might be a little more expensive. But to have everything work well together without any major issues is worth the trade offs, at least to me.

I use my iPhone on a daily basis as well. And while I would prefer a less restrictive approval process that allows stuff like Google Voice and VoIP-over-3G apps into the App Store, overall I would say that I'm satisfied with my iPhone experience. The OS is nice and easy to use, Mobile Safari is really good, and overall the phone seems like a fairly stable platform. Some day I really hope I can say the same about AT&T's network across the entire country.

Trusting the Democrats to fix our economy and give us health care is like trusting the fox with keys to the henhouse, a brand new gas stove, and a pantry full of goodies for side dishes. In the end, all will be dead and nothing but lies will be told.

it was a quick reply, I did not intend on focusing my post on a single post.

Hope that helps

... an apple "touch"..? .. are you talking about the iPod touch?

reply to tuminatr
I beg to differ. Active Synch works better to my Exchange 2007 better than my Blackberry does
