Rumors Flying About New iPhone Capabilities 289
Jumping on the completely unconfirmed rumor bandwagon, it seems that there have been photos leaked for the new iPhone, which include things like an auto-focus camera, video capture, and a compass. The photos were originally displayed (and then quickly removed) on a Chinese forum, and quickly spread to many other sites, including a complete human translation on the MacRumors forum. Looks like Apple security may have to break a few more pocket protectors to keep employees in line.

Well, here you go! These are the "killer appz" that make the Apple fanboyz go mad. This is 90-95% of all available progies for iPhone.
...or do a variety of other things, some of which are actually useful.
Fair enough. I admit there is this 5% of some really cool applications for iPhone. But my initial post (which I find ridiculous that had been moded as "flamebait", this was NOT my intention) wanted to stress a point.
Both Symbian and Android can do what iPhone does and even more. And developers can leverage the WHOLE underlying technology. So the iPhone Store story is only a stupid buzz. The developers need to wake up and port their useful apps to Symbian and Android as soon as possible. Because it CAN be done and actually their apps will probably even look and run even better!
As long as we have a 50-60% market share for open source mobile OSes we are ok. I'm afraid of what will happen if Apple somehow prevails and becomes the Microsoft of the mobile OS market.

The OS you are looking for is called Windows Mobile. Its been around a pretty long time and does not restrict anything you put on it.
As long as you don't mind running Windows on your cell phone. A lot of us have issues with it, and not just bias.
Sprint has the cheapest, fastest internet and pretty good coverage as well.
Cheapest. Fastest. Best. Choose 2. Oh wait, you have.
Sprint also has like no decent (usable) coverage to speak of in my state. Unless you happen to live in a city. And this is a state where our biggest "city" is only about 200,000 people.

Grats, you're officially the first person I've ever heard take issue with Android's UI.
Now would you like to tell us WHY you think a three year old designed it?

Do many phones have USB on the phone side? From my experience, the iPhone cable plugs into any USB port and will charge from it. You're right on the phone side it is a special connector (ipod connector), but every phone I've owned has been like that.
BTW, the iphone cable is just a standard ipod cable. Even people who don't own ipods seem to have some of those around at this point lol.
