One of my good friend, "Abhishek Kant" has posted a very interesting blog post about why you don't want an iPhone? He compared an iPhone of his friend with an HTC Windows Mobile phone which he was carrying and found many disadvantage of iPhone.

Its a very interesting read. A short excerpt of the post is as following:

iPhone has cooler interface than Windows Mobile. Agree. One of us has tried to include a iphone shell (iPhonz) on Win Mobile but the quality of that shell was really bad and the phone had to be rebooted.. i am now running a skin that emulates the slide to unlock feature.

We all agreed that apple is a control freak and iphone is a marvel of their work! you can’t get any app on the phone if you don’t buy it off the apple store without jailbreaking the iphone (voids the warranty!!).. meaning thereby you have to pay for every app you install on iphone.. windows mobile comes with numerous applications developed by the community and are available for Free.

The commercial applications that you develop for iphone have to be hosted on the apple store and they keep a cut off your IP.. no such bull crap for windows mobile… you get to keep the money on what you developed.

The iphone is going to come out in 1 or max 2 versions… very limited choice.. HTC Touch Diamond i.e. if i wanted a qwerty keyboard i can’t do anything or a slider keyboard.. windows mobile does offer you that option from multiple vendors.

He has also pointed out some features which are not present in iPhone. You must take a look at the full post:
