Let's face it. This thread is silly. The iPhone is in a class of its own. All the others are "wannabees."
It is, hands down, the best computer that I have ever owned AND I can use it to talk to people.
I agree! Which is why I haven't posted to this thread until now; the point is kind of moot! I have an iPhone because I have tried the others, and I don't like them nearly as much! I'm not interested in a hypothetical phone, the iPhone killer, which IMHO doesn't exist!
I have an old Treo, which I still like 'cos it's nice and simple and has real keys. I've never felt that comfortable with soft-keyboards.
I have continued to use my Treo for navigation until recently. I did not really leave it for the iPhone; I just migrated as new apps replaced old. If there were no iPhone, I would still be using it.
Cannot imagine myself using an 800, Centro, Pre, or Pixie.
A HTC Hero on AT&T it Tmobile . Still don't like CDMA
I like the performance and function of CDMA well enough. I have had both Sprint and Verizon phones and still have a Verizon broadband card as an alternative to jailbreaking.
CDMA simply does not meet my requirements as well as GSM. Of course, iPhone GSM is not real GSM either. It may take us a decade to get to a real global and open standard. In the meantime, at least we have cheap phones.
I was on Sprint using a 700p prior to the iPhone I would probably still be on sprint using either the HTC Hero or Palm Pre. If I could pick any phone it would be the HTC HD2 with google.
Before my iPhone, I used mostly Palm devices. I was a huge fan of the Treo. Today, it would probably be a toss-up between the Pixi and a phone runing Android.
Probably an Android based device of some variety. I liked my BlackBerry, but the browser on it was just mediocre at best. And if it's going to be a personal phone, then I want a good browser.
^ but he's saying he would go with blackberry if the iPhone DIDNT EXIST
Yes, and if he had, as of this moment he would be 13 hours into degraded service. Indeed, it took RIMM that long to even acknowledge that there was a problem. Not even "the steaming pile of failure".........
I would be using the HTC HD or an android phone because the HTC looks really nice hardware wise and the android OS looks nice but the iPhone is so much beter because it combines both together.
If I'd be stuck with AT&T I'd probably stick with a blackberry bold but if there wasn't an iPhone we wouldn't have a cadre of imitators/"innovators" like the pre, pixi, htc etc

If the iPhone hadn't come along, I'd probably still be using my iPod, Powerbook, digital camera, HP calculator and Motorola RAZR.
If the iPhone suddenly vanished today, I'd probably go out and get a Droid tomorrow, even though I'm apparently the only person in the world who actually prefers AT&T to Verizon.
