The thing is, the pre is hyped in every possible way the iphone is hyped.
Copy paste was on a fair number of phones, but who seriously used them? Those phones were probably somewhat old-ish or at least they are now, and the OS would be a bit restricted to really take full control of it.
The way the pre does it is honestly not that good when I tried it, and you can't really use it that well across apps besides native ones.
The way the iphone does it is honestly a very good implementation and I would have never thought they would have done it that way but whatever way they did it was fantastic and that is where people start to use it more often.
Apple doesn't do things for a reason, it is probably because of marketing but when they do do it they do it very well and this has been said many times before.
Your pre can't record video, which my old razr from VERIZON could do.
The iPhone 3GS just got it sure, but the way they did it is simple and it is easily accessed across your phone and your computer.
If my Pre got screwed how would I put ALL of my info back into a new pre that I buy/replace? I geuss I couldn't, because I don't have something like iTunes, which even though sucks, is better then what other phones/companies offer, oh wait they don't....they just copy the iPod and use iTunes cough* Pre cough* ...
Whatever apps the pre has right now in its app store, we had them on the iphone when the iphone was jailbroken, or at least we had something similiar.
Some person made a mention of doing there grocery list while streaming music.
You honestly cant' move your fingers for 2 minutes for the list and then stream music? Even though this may be inconvenient, it shouldn't be a deal breaker I mean cmon.
The pre just got things that other phones have had, and suddenly its so amazing? Which is exactly what you are saying about the iphone... In my opinion the freakin ipod touch is better then the pre,
just sayin.
I want to have everything just work without having to rely on something from another company or some random program that is buggy.
I have been using iTunes for a few years now, and I like being able to transfer songs that I have had from my first iPod to my iphone 2g, then later to my iphone 3g, then when I replaced my iphone 3g to a new one, again being able to put everything back.
Eh, I just really wanted to say that you guys bash each other for the same things that both of you are at fault.
If someone didn't buy an iPhone JUST because it couldn't record video, then why aren't you bashing the pre about it as well? I mean you obviously don't care that you can have the phone app and notes app open at the same time and dial a number and write a story at the same time (which would be hard IMO) so you just end up contradicting yourself.
The iPhone does everything I need and I don't care what carrier I am on, and if I wanted to get the pre I would have gotten it, but the iphone is better and this fight should have been over now. The iPhone 3GS to people wasn't a big upgrade yet so many people PRE-ORDERED IT, and it is the 3rd gen so alot of people should have an iPhone by now. The pre supposedly has almost a million pre sales, which is quite impressive but I would like to see the proof, I may be wrong but you couldn't pre-order the pre, and we saw the lines already so they probably sold lets say 5000 and are trying to make themselves look better.
If someone had an iPhone and someone else had a Pre, I bet you no one would care that that person had a Pre unless that person is one of the Pre nerd lovers in this forum. Just saying.
