Why Maddox Is Wrong About iPhone (manu-j.com)

I bought an E70 because of Maddox's post, about 18 months ago. He was right for the time. The iPhone was a sort of cutting edge experiment lacking true practicality back then. 3G, the App Store, and some firmware updates have changed all that..

I now have an iPhone. The E70 was ultimately a pile of crap. The keyboard was great, sure, but the OS would crash routinely, the case got busted up (and I rarely go out!), the battery life crumbled to pathetic levels, and the OS was so unresponsive most of the time that it put you off actually using the more advanced features it had.

So.. Maddox was right, but the iPhone is now the deserved champion.


It's interesting to look at Maddox's iPhone/Nokia E370 comparison table now that the App Store has been around for a while.
