HTC Fuze/Touch Pro and almost all HTC phones have all of these features and more. They are also fully functional portable PC’s. They also have user changeable batteries. And finally there is a website that is devoted to these phones (XDA Developers) where people cook custom ROMs which allow you to fully reprogram the phone the way you want it, or with a little effort you can learn how. This is reprogramming and not just loading applications. There are also a bunch of websites that have all sorts of freeware applications for these phones.
Since HTC Phones are also sold in Europe you can turn these phones into unlocked versions for about $20, which means that you can transfer between carriers.
AS an added bonus you also have free ringtones, and updates from the HTC website.
The memory is removable and the phones will support up to 32 Gigs of micro-SD which is very easy to transfer files back and forth from your computer to the phone, no adware program like I-Tunes required.
New HTC phones have real VGA displays, 533MHZ Processors, and 512 MB of RAM.
These phones run Window Mobile and come with the portable version of MS Office (Word, Excel, One Note, and Power Point). Although you cannot edit a power point file on the phone you can plug the phone into a projector or Flat screen and run the power point presentation from the phone. These phones will also be able to run Goggle Android which is free.
Phones also feature GPS which when teamed with Goggle Maps provides free GPS directions, FM Radio (AM requires a large antenna)
The only thing that does not come with these phones are the superior feeling that you get when you have an Apple product or the desire to spend the night with Barney Frank.
These are business phones and not I-PODS with a phone built in.

“What is tethering?”

It would allow you to use the iPhone as a hotspot so you can use it to connect your laptop or desktop computer to the internet via the iphone. You then wouldn’t need a separate internet connection for your computers.

AT&T doesn’t like it.

“Get the AOL Radio application and tune in to WPHT (It is a Philadelphia station). You get Rush right over the AT&T network. When I got it AOL Radio was free...”

There’s also iHeartRadio that streams hundreds of radio stations countrywide.

How about an AM tuner to listen to Rush???? Ohhhhhhh, that’s right....APPLE (my bad).

Actually you should have known ther IS and app for that...:o)

Uploading and downloading is done through USB connection/iTunes.

[Jewbacca]

Yes, that’s not the issue.

Having reasearched it and gotten specific input from other Freepers, iTunes does not support downloading FROM the phone TO the computer.

You have to utilize other add-on programs.

Apple products are superior. Owned PC's with Windows for ten years. Finally made the switch a year and a half back to a MacBook Pro. I'm through with PC's and Windows forever. My sister who owns and operates her very own consulting business just got herself a brand new MacBook Pro (after I advised her to do so) and she too is through with Windows.

Apple has a big advantage over the long term by virtue of the fact that they make the hardware and the OS for both the computer and the phone. Once they start to incorporate their own chips into their phone ( Apple has announced they will be designing their own processors for their hand held devices ) they will really leapfrog ahead of the competition. Count on it.

I believe jailbroken phones can tether from what I remember.

Doesn’t matter though.....can’t use it since I don’t have an iphone still.

Maybe in a couple months...just don’t want to switch to ATT, but Alltel will go all to crap with Verizon taking over anyway.

HTC phones with Android are cool. They also are $500.

For a phone.
