And if you've used the iPhone and a Windows phone, what advantages did you have over the Windows phone with the iPhone? As I stated above, I need objectivity. Is it the iPhone the bestest phone out in the world or is it hype?
caus its in fashion to rip on anything MS made... duh.

But, to answer your question (at least the second part). No, it would not mean better compatibility syncing with your windows desktop.

Windows Mobile is not windows. And all phones are designed with windows in mind: symbian, win mobile, iphone, etc. Yes, iphone missed out on exchange at the beginning, but is ok now, but has always been able to sync contacts as well as the others.

i have iphone, and no... its not perfect. its decent, and it does most of what it tries to decently. (ipod on it blows badly imo). but im sure that topic has been beat to death 1000 times already.

you're going to find fanboys of both camps out there, just like with Windows versus Mac, and Xbox versus PS3, coke versus pepsi, and chocolate versus vanilla... etc.

I'd ask our european geeks to tell ya what is hot on the market there.. when i was in the UK, they had a lot nicer phones than the rubbish i was seeing in the states at the time..

while iphone is US first, much of the nokia/sonyericson/etc phones come out in UK before here..

though, you will pay more for an unlocked non subsidized phone.

wish i could help.. i havnt looked at phones since i bought mine... but , the high end nokias were good feature wise when i saw them at last years CES.. they were pushing the latest n95 or n9x series at the time... bit pricey, and maybe even 'teh suck' now, but caught my eye in a sea of other gadgets.. but no keyboard if thats important to you.

and maybe not stylish enough.. who knows... (and no, ive not owned one, it c ould suck ass.. but it has a nice cam, gps, and other crap.
