Still, I’m not sold with the latest update and instead elevated notches up my leaning towards waiting for the Palm Pre. The funny thing is that many phones definitely had these features for years and a lot of people missed some of them by getting an iPhone.

“Jeremy W, Look & Adam, mates, what I want you guys and everyone else to consider now is not the amount of features the iPhone lacks compared to our WinMo mobiles we have or had, but, the big structured community of the iPhone. When you use an app on the iPhone you are damn sure that it will run in the same speed, resolution, and aspect as any other iPhone user. I found out that when it comes to desktop computing this is generally not a problem at all, but when it comes to mobile world and specific design, the iPhone shines through its unity. If someone reviews an app on WinMo, you can’t be sure that it’ll work on your new sexy device, which has happened with me through the use of my Omnia, in the other hand, iPhone’s apps will all get you to the same point even when using your friend’s phone.

Believe it or not, this type of vision and understanding of a mobile phone came before the iPhone from Bill Gates himself; he of course was pointing out how cloud computing will work great, but during the talk he mentions how everybody will have the same device and you only use it to login to your account and download your data. Of course no body is doing such thing, but the thing that caught my attention is how the world is asking for better software rather than hardware, in other words, people don’t mind using the same hardware if the software was perfectly built.

The iPhone team has done a great job in bringing the best software and design. I had many concerns and issues with the old software, and everything I wanted has been addressed, and in my own opinion, the iPhone right now, is what I wanted it to be 2 years ago. I didn’t buy it all this time, waiting for the right mix.

I will wait for the next hardware and probably buy it. It is really worth it now. You aren’t paying for the device only, but for the software and the huge incredibly structured community that will make your experience much better than you think it can be. A good example for me was the Zune community and feel, it’s like I’m part of a movement hence making my experience an enjoyable one.

It’s up to you guys to buy whatever you like, but I had to be honest about this. Bravo iPhone. (Or until Pre brings you down, let’s wait and watch.)

And as ham_sandwich pointed out, it is your choice guys, just take it easy and give it a thought. I really am not a fanboy neither an a**hole.

I use Vista, and buying Windows 7.
I use and Omnia since 6 months ago.
And everybody in here knows how I love Windows and the freedom I get with it, but when it comes to mobile phones -as I explained above, the iPhone is a very strong device to use, especially after the announcements they did today.”

Apple will only need to come up with new hardware/models once every two years. They’ll make billions in apps and accessories, even if they let go of the profit-sharing business model with wireless providers. Search for appl in google, you’ll see the stock has jumped several points. It will no doubt break the 100 barrier again. This is the recession-proof company right here, AAPL.
