    I must be doing it wrong, because now I need an iPhone AND a Pre.

    I have a dumb phone (KRZR K1) and a smart MP3 player (iPod Touch 1st gen) so... really I'm just fine, haha!

    If I need a GPS, I have the Garmin eTrex Legend, and Nuvi 360. Sure, it's more gadgets to lug around, but I save hundreds of dollars before I even get to the insane service contracts we have in Canada...

    Nah, I don't usually carry a GPS. The phone's on a belt clip, and the iPod shares a front pocket with my DS Lite. :)

    Giz, your fanboy is showing a little more this week. Zip it up a bit will ya? There are more than 2 smartphones out there. And news about most of them coming just as fast and plentiful as the Pre or iPhone.

    @Dr.Jeckyl: Seeing as these are the two exciting phones that the entire industry is paying attention to these two weeks (and even beyond), we have an obligation to cover them. So no, it's not being a "fanboy", it's doing our jobs.

    @Jason Chen: Sorry, but I have to disagree. ALL FOUR of the current "featured articles" at the top of the page are about the iPhone; TEN of today's articles alone have the word "iPhone" in the headline, and only two are particularly useful for potential buyers, in my opinion. Most of the rest are just shameless fluff.


    Personally, I'd rather you guys cut out some of the crap (amusing though it can be) and reported on a greater variety of topics with useful, cool articles... like I know you're of.


    ...But I'm pretty sure that you're about to tell me to just go back to Lifehacker, where the posts are half as frequent and twice as useful.

    The reason they are not comparing the Bold is because its not touchscreen and its only on at&t right now so it would be too one sided towards at&t. But really other then the Storm what else does Verizon have to offer...

    Why are no windows mobile smart phones included. M ytouch pro does everything the iphone does including turn by turn directions. Then you have the touch pro 2 also.

    You should include atleast one windows mobile smart phone on that list.

    I take it all back. The iPhone will play nice with an Exchange server. Turn off push and fetch every 15 minutes.


    If you are having problems, they can be easily sorted out using either a brick, paving stone, cobblestone, crowbar, length of re-bar, or baseball bat to bash in your IT guy's skull. Trust me - the IT guy is the problem.


    The IT guy is ALWAYS the problem...

    @devonbowers: Some of it might have to do with the fact that my IT guy is a consultant. There is more money in prolonging the problem than in fixing it.


    @Who Shot Who in the What Now?: My Push works A-OK. But the battery drain is massive. So I fetch. Every 15 minutes is fine for me.
