Where were the analyst when the iPhone launched? No one predicted how big it would be.

Let me correct that...didn’t mean to say NO ONE but that many missed the iPhone’s success.

I think Android will the “Windows” of phones & pads.

In PCs you have Apple (one hardware vendor) and Windows (multiple hardware vendors). (Yes Linux people, I know, but we’re talking about consumer devices here, not servers).

Phones will end up Apple (one hardware vendor) and Android (multiple hardware vendors).

Pads will end up Apple (one hardware vendor) and Android (multiple hardware vendors).

And there will be some cross between phones and pads, and some also-ran os’s (just like with PCs), but it Apple and Android should shake out as the big two.

At Thanksgiving, I bought a two-fer of the Samsung Windows 7 phone when my sons phone crapped out....

I was looking for a replacement for my Iphone 3g....

Look and finish was nice...speed was excellent and the phone quality/reception was good...

What failed is the windows software....It does NOT sync with your computer, it cannot support Outlook except in a enterprise environment. There is no visual voicemail which jhas been a basic for all business phones.....Who would have thought that Apple would better support a Microsoft product (Outlook) better than Microsoft?

Go on the Microsoft website blogs for Windows 7 users, at Thanksgiving there were over 900 posts on the one blog all ending in “I’m taking this piece of crap back and never buying Microsoft”

That’s what I did and got the Iphone 4 which BTW I didn’t want to do....the phone portion is inferior to the 3Gs with quality of reception marginalat best...yes the antenna problems are as bad as they stated.

I’m probably going to return the Iphone 4...anyone have some suggestions for a good business phone?
