- higher resolution screen
- higher resolution cam
- can record video
- 7MB HDSPA
- more complete Bluetooth support ( a.o. Stereo headset)
That's all good n well but.. It has windows mobile! HTC have tried to "put lipstick on the bulldog" to make it look decent, which they half way succeeded, but... There are a number of annoyances that have finally driven me to the iPhone:
- that blasted notification bar (try clearing those alarms, incoming messages etc. with your fingers, good luck...)
- slooooow photo browsing
- half baked music player ( half the time album art doesn't show up, song sometimes refuse to play, clicks n slight skipping in songs)
- inexplicable Bluetooth behavior (unable to switch it on/off through settings) appeared after a while
- protective film of button area started coming loose (see pic) top left where the home button is located
I know what you're thinking "that guy must be a phone torturer", nothing could be further from the truth though. This wear (after only 2months!) happened simply from carrying the phone in my shirt and trouser pockets. When I showed it in the store, they were very surprised about it. Anyways its going back to HTC luckily I have 2 years warranty.
Finally I was going to add:
- hangs
But then they both seem to suffer from that.
All n all, the iPhone convinced me despite it's closed nature and arguably lesser specs. Overall the experience is much better and there is no need at anytime for a stylus, its a true finger/touch operated device, no half measures there.
