Who cares what employees use?

867865 2010-03-17 04:00:00 Well it's no wonder, I have both, the iPhone 3GS is the best there is and my Windows mobile 6.5 phone/PDA is bloated and slow. Orca (3098)
867866 2010-03-17 04:30:00 ...the iPhone 3GS is the best there is...
That's an incredibly bold claim to make, and somewhat subjective. What exactly are you comparing it to that it manages to beat?

Assuming you're comparing it to other smartphones:
It isn't the best spec-wise, for any of its components.
The OS lacks or disallows a lot of functionality that comes standard on other platforms.
Lack of carrier choices.
Strong vendor lockin and policing of the platform frequently compromises software quality.
Build quality isn't exactly stunning.
Non-replaceable / upgradeable battery & storage.
Extremely high price.
Poor after-sales support.

867867 2010-03-17 04:49:00 Well, I met two Microsoft managers at Macworld two years ago and both used iPhones so this news item doesn't surprise me. I'm sure there's also plenty of Microsoft employees that own a Playstation as well. maccrazy (6741)
