T-Mobile my Touch

[mikejet]

Look up these three phones:

Nokia N97
HTC Touch Pro 2
Sony Xperia

Any of those would be better than an iPhone.

Plus you don't have to buy all those apps.

Who is the carrier, what is the OS, do they support Exchange Sync, what apps do you have to buy for an iPhone?

Two use Symbian and one uses a modified WinMo. All are unlocked so they can be used with any GSM carrier world wide. All support MS Exchange server for email.

The MyTouch is the G1 in a much better package. Other than that, if you're not too thrilled with the G1/Android, you're not going to find anything redeeming in the MyTouch unless the hardware is your only hang up. After owning and selling the G1 and owning an unlocked iPhone for a year and a half, Android feels like a pale imitation of the iPhone OS. Sure it's open source, but that doesn't mean that there's any sort of quality to the applications. That's my biggest problem with it, is that the apps feel cheap, homebrewed, and in many cases, half assed. Android, compared to the iPhone, and even Blackberry with App World, just doesn't have much "real" dev support, since in comparison to iPhone and Blackberry owners, almost nobody owns an Android phone. Maybe in a few years that will change, but I found that the G1 is not a worthy substitute for the iPhone, and not anywhere close to the iPhone killer it was positioned as. The Cupcake update was pretty lackluster for me. The touch screen keyboard, which was my most awaited feature, pretty much sucks. It's the same on the MyTouch.

The G1 is nothing like the iPhone, which is why I sold it! The difference is night and day!

and thats why it will always dominate its section of the market, until these other companies realize its not just about looks or menu's its about how deep the pool is for quality applications that aren't put up their by the sp to make a quick buck. I mean sprint had some fun apps, verizon had a few but I've sat in Itunes and found in a few minutes maybe 20+ free ones that look great.

I know my workplace is only purchasing carrier offered phones, so none are even an option for us. If the WM OS is as crippling as the one on the Blackjack II and Dash, ughhh I would pass anyway. Never used Symbian, and would be interested in what it offers and what kind of things can be added onto the phone after the fact.

There are thousands of FREE apps. No need to buy any.
