AudiOn19s Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 As a follow up. We went and shopped and compared last night. The Verizon WinMo devices were much nicer than I expected them to be. I particularly liked the HTC Touch Pro2. I really think that being a Techy that I would have had alot of fun with the WinMo machines and spent quite a bit of time dicking around with them. However, my wife was the driving force behind the update / switch and the iPhone was soo much more user friendly and intuative for her that it was the clear winner hands down. We've been toying around with switching our cable and internet to AT&T for some time too based on their offerings and price and with the current promotions to switch everything our services came out to about a wash when you put everything together. So I ended up with a 3GS iPhone. Ironically at one point today I already had a service issue and had to reboot the phone to get service back. Dunno what happened there. I'd be interested in some of the jailbreak technology....but my phone is loaded with OS 3.1 already. Looks like nobody has the hack figured out for the 3.1 system just yet.

CRed05 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Dammit I came in here too late. Android > * But between WinMo and Iphone I think you made the better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 i see no reason to upgrade my 3.0 to 3.1 ill wait for the next release which will fix all of the issues they were having with 3.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 As of a few hours ago...I am running 3.1 that's jailbroken. Whew!! I thought I bricked it. The Internet is better than sliced bread. Edit: Anyone with a 3GS that's jailbroke on 3.0 or 3.01, I have a custom 3.1 ipsw that will allow you to have 3.1 running and still have jailbreak glory.

smokin5s Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 So...to the iPhone people, how annoying is the shitty AT&T service. Really my desire to move to a more capable phone is data and apps more than alot of the integrated technology for business (despite being in the IT field.). I think it makes more sense to go with the apple from that standpoint. Other than detailing stuff which I do all through web based mail I tend to like being able to leave work behind when I'm not there. Andy my work phone is the AT&T Bold and my personal is VZW Voyager.... I have the international plan on my Bold and hands down, my VZW gets better reception... I can't seem to ever have reliable coverage with my Bold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
