[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 3627468, member: 11760"] For a techie site, that review doesn't really make him sound like someone with a lot of experience with smartphones. Backing up your e-mail from your desktop computer isn't a feature anyone with a smartphone would view as anything other than a giant step backwards. And given his self-confessed problems with the keyboard, I'm confused how this is better than existing smartphone keyboards, which is a claim from Jobs that he mentions and appears to support. The data plan he's excited about is laughably awful. Two hundred texts a month will be gone in a matter of days for smartphone users, if it takes that long. The calendar function's inexplicable lack of a week view is a complaint of a lot of professionals -- but unmentioned in his review -- but will probably get fixed in the first software patch. And does this guy even use Macs? No, the Mac OS calculator is unbelievably basic, too. :confused: This guy has no business making comments about other smartphones, since he's clearly not in the market for them and doesn't seem to have a real point of comparison. He seems to just be regurgitating Jobs' equally uninformed digs on smartphones. The true test for the iPhone as a smartphone -- and not just as a really expensive upgrade to the Razr for teenagers and college students -- will be after working professionals have used it for a week or two. Right now, my professional friends are very lukewarm on it. One's talking about giving it to his high school age daughter. [/QUOTE]
