Beyond the iPhone: Three smartphones worth a look

I put three iPhone alternatives - RIM's Blackberry Curve, LG's enV2, and T-Mobile's Sidekick - through their paces. Here's how they stack up.

What are you thinking?

None of the reviewed phones even come close to the iPhone.

The iPhone is a Phone, and a really great one that works with Outlook contacts and Calendars

The iPhone is an iPod, and can hold all you music, podcasts, and even TV and Movies

The iPhone is an internet device. Yes the iPhone has WiFi and a great browser, a real browser, and for the first time a USEABLE BROWSER.

None of these phones come close. Screen to small! Browsers are horrible! And crumby games. The iPhones SHINES.

My ONLY complaint with the iPhone is getting used to the touch keyboard, but I am getting much faster and accurate at typing after a couple weeks.

Apples to oranges.. What were you thinking

Considering the feature by feature similarities and capabilities of the Sprint Instinct.. why on earth did you NOT compare the instinct to the iPhone?

"Smarthpones" has become a very broad category of devices. If you further breakout iPhone style smartphones how many devices are left standing?

For full disclosure.. I have an Instinct and love it. While it isn't an iPhone and lacks the depth of applications to run on it, and doesn't have a native Instant Messaging function, the 3G bandwidth, TV, Radio, GPS, large touchscreen (slightly smaller than iPhone screen), visual voicemail, multiple configurable email clients, etc.. it is definitely worth some consideration.

The deal clincher for me was by far.. the 99 dollar "Simply Everything" plan sprint offers. Unlimited calls, texts, data, tv, radio, gps, etc. One set price.

just my "two-bits"

iPhone Killer

Did you get paid to try and help verizon move the enV before the real iPhone killers show up?

HTC's current offerings avail shortly at Sprint and in about 30 days from Verizon will be the one's to set Apple back quiet

The Touch Diamond and Touch Pro will be the stuff

Forget the enV and get a real PDA phone

Here's the link

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News
Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
