So,

You have been drooling over your friends’  iphone and want to get one for yourself as soon as you can spare the money.Hmm..Great! After days of sparing money, you’ll get your fav phone with that glossy metal rear and a black front with a single button for all tasks and a iphone 3GS or 3G written over it in small letters below a half eaten apple!

Great!

You wont part from it for a few days, only to notice it can not even do what your earlier cheap phone could do??????

Yes that’s the truth most iPhone users face.If you don’t have your phone jailbreaked, you have a phone in which there is no option to transfer music through blue tooth(Yes its true);does not have a dedicated file explorer, you can only watch movies from the movies folder, and music from the music one;have to have itunes to transfer music;cannot take out the mem card and plug it to your lappy and copy those imp projects when your pendrive goes missing;cannot copy your  downloaded photos to your friends’ pc,.

So why are people crazy about Iphone??

yes there are plus points.

IPHONE MERITS

a) It is touch-screen based which is the new hype.

b)Its screen is Capacitive type touch screen as compared to Windows Mobile devices with resistive screens,thus your slight touch even gets your      task doing unlike in Windows Mobile where you have to feel the touch or use a stylus.

c)Its Apple man!

d)Music quality.Though it offers no exceptional music quality, but its dificult to get out of the minds of people that Apple delivers excellent music quality despite Iphone’s music not being upto the mark.

e)Chique looks and easy to understand interface.

So, ready for the killer?

Comes the Touch HD 2 from HTC.(HTC Leo).

Blessed with stunning looks, which will make Iphone look like a cheap China phone, a 4.3 inches capacitive touch screen, around  4 times the screen resolution of Iphone, a 5 Megapixel autofocus camera, Windows Mobile,GPS,accelerometer,around 500 MB of RAM,1Ghz Snapdragon processor, blah blah…it leaves Iphone leagues behind.

Just search google for pics of this hot baby.

So,lets compare in detail the Iphone 3GS (latest) and HTC Touch HD 2 in detail.

So, the above test clearly states that not in a single parameter does Iphone stand a chance to its killer.

Some more observations:

Iphone doesn’t support file transfer through bluetooth.

You never access you storage memory directly on an iphone.You can choose through inbuilt folders like AUDIO, VIDEO.You never come to know where it is stored actually.You cannot plug out your card and push everything to and from your pc.

Every input output is through syncing through ITunes.Accidental data loss is common.

Windows Mobile OS is much better compared to Iphone OS details of which can be read in my next article.

You get a whopping Qualcomm Snapdragon 1 Ghz processor with around 500 MB RAM.Throw out your old PC.

Hope you liked the comparison.

So think twice before making a choice my fellow friends.

Thank You.
