Well, I can tell you that I LOVE my iPhone. I don't regret purchasing it all. Yes, it does have its quirks, but I can't even begin to describe how convenient it is to have my phone, iPod, and internet device all wrapped up in one beautiful package. Let's just say, I don't have to worry about being bored in class.
I'd have to say the Touch Pro. You get all the benefits of the iPhone, with none of the iPhone's limitations (physical keyboard, open platform OS, copy/paste, video recording, MMS, expandable memory)
I'm torn too. I love iPhone's multi-touch for zooming in and zooming out of pages, but I hate how crippled they made it. I would have liked data over bluetooth so that I could use some kind of bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone.
The number of things a Windows Mobile device can do over the iPhone is absolutely unprecedented, but that is only if you are willing to customize the crap out of your phone, whereas the iPhone is great from the start. The main advantage that you have with Windows Mobile is that, while it's not the best out-of-the-box, the thousands upon thousands (perhaps millions) of third party apps that are available for it completely overshadow the offerings of the iPhone's App Store. On the downside, the open nature of Windows Mobile leaves it open to major stability issues. The advantages of the iPhones are its extremely easy-to-use interface and the stable nature of OSX. For me personally, the iPhone's interface is almost too simple, to the point where it's actually somewhat boring, but for others it's absolutely perfect. Whether the Fuze or iPhone is better for you is a matter of what YOU need in a phone. A lot of people will tell you one is better than the other and try to give you reasons why, but no one can tell you which device will be better for YOUR personal needs. If you want something that has nearly endless potential for customization, the Fuze is for you. If you want something that will be to your liking from the moment you turn it on, the iPhone may be perfect. I would recommend you try both before making a decision as hands on experience is always the best indicator of what will be best for your needs. Good luck with your decision. I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”

I'm eligible for an upgrade through AT&T on the 21st. Can't decide between the Fuze/Touch Pro or an iPhone.
I feel like I would get more overall use out of an iPhone, as opposed to the HTC.. which I would basically use solely for SMS/email.
Any thoughts?
they're (xda-dev) actively working to get android up and running. if you don't like winmo, you'll soon have an alternative.
