gizmodo.com — Apple's iPhone may have been announced first, but Samsung's Ultra Smart F700 (announced yesterda) seems to be one-up Apple's effort in a few feature categories. If you'll take a little journey with me, we'll compare the iPhone and the F700 and see which one comes out on top—on paper.

I have no idea about the F700 but I know Windows Mobile phones have had web browsers but no HTML mail support. It's been frustrating as hell, although apparently they've added it to Windows Mobile 6.

@anamanaman: I'm not joking at all. If you're having some specific problems with it you might want to check out pdaphonehome.com. There is a great community offering lots of hacks and advice for this device. Like a simple patch to add real A2DP BlueTooth support that was missing in WM5... so now I listen to my mp3s in stereo and any call coming through pauses the music! I'm sure they can help you out. Good luck!

No Wifi? No deal.

I have yet to get used to the iPod's UI. I kept reading that it's "so intuitive" but it took me plenty of tries with different generations of iPods to get used to navigating with the Menu button. The scroll wheel does have a cool factor to it for volume adjustment and track seeking, but I'm sure better navigation could be done. I'm happy the Zune decided to do it differently from most other current mp3 players, and I think theirs makes more sense.My favorite interface in the end is speech, using WMP on my Pocket PC (Phone) with Microsoft Voice Command. Say "Play Maroon 5" and the music begins? ~That's~ intuitive.

iPhone is not as good as people think. its a touchscreen with 2MPx. its made by apple so no wonder why its the first to use this opperating system. what would apple have used Windows mobile? how useful is the accelerometer? are you going to spend all day rotating your phone? although it has good memory, it lacks a card slot. Java (and maybe Flash) will not work on this (even basic phones have this feature). it lacks 3G (which several of the newer phones have got). i have not noticed any games on this phone and almost every phone even phones which dont have color have games. it lacks basic features most phones have. your paying $499 - $599 with a two year contract! Apple has no experience in the phone industry. you have to use iTunes for loading music and video. no other phone does this and this just allows apple to make even more profit. you can not use a stylus, or gloves or anything other than your fingers when you touch it, so its sure to get greasy. it does not sync using WiFi. it does not support wireless sync via Bluetooth. the virtual keys make it slower to use than a Blackberry. iPhone does not include any speed dial features.
