Smartphone Shootout

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hit-me-with-your-best-shot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "InformationWeek's David DeJean makes the mistake of trying to compare the experience of Web surfing on a BlackBerry, Palm, and HTC smartphones to the experience on the iPhone. According to the DeJean, the three don't come close, but it's very interesting to read about the pros and cons of what can (and can't) be done with current mobile hardware and software."

    I'm willing to bet you've never used an iPhone day to day for any signifcant amount of time.

    I've had mine for a few weeks now. I use it for movies, music, my primary camera, and it is also my primary Internet connection because I have moral objections to giving comcast money. It is, of course my only phone as well.

    I've never even come close to draining the battery in a single day, even using it to browse for hours while listening to music, or streaming h264 video over wifi, using it as a phone, etc.

    Your claims are based entrely on uninformed opinion, and NOT any sort of experience or fact.

    Also, the browsing experience is perfectly fine. The ability to easily and autmatically zoom to content negates the claim of screen real estate. Everything can be as large or as small as you like.

    In short, you are a well spoken troll, but a troll nonetheless.
