HTC P3700 and iPhone

This I can confirm in virtually all respects. However, as I also use an iPhone and this often find as a reference unit in reviews, so some other aspects seem to me worth considering:

1. The battery power of HTC P3700 is good as long as practicable, unless one or rarely uses (UMTS, HSDPA, as well as GPS and Wi-Fi). The outstanding data functions of the device The GPS operation by bicycle or on foot is therefore almost impossible. With the iPhone there is a problem in the same way; However is in this so far not even an onboard GPS receiver. The battery life is insufficient even when iPhone.

2. The well-designed operating concept of the P3700 suffers on the one hand by the fact that the touch-screen operation is placed and therefore with third applications usually fail, and that the sensitivity of the sensor surface itself is too low. Here, the iPhone has a big lead.

3. The wonderfully finely resolved at its size display of the P3700 is still a bit too small and not really brilliant. Here is also the iPhone at an advantage.

4. The existing software offering is due to the common standards (WM 6) and the open system concept at P3700 already outstanding. An appropriate way the iPhone is currently only for devices whose locks are released (with partly high problematic applications) and for the announced new types. Here, however, is rather to be expected due to the highly restricted by Apple Market Strategy the development of powerful software for different needs.

5. In practical use of both devices has proved to me that my professional needs (date organization, telephone contact management, navigation, office applications, e-banking, etc.) can not be covered with the iPhone. It has its raison d'être with me about primarily in the leisure sector.

All in all, the P3700 does not reach the cult status of the iPhone, this must be classified as superior in practical comparison but so is all around recommendable. Only the battery life and the somewhat low sensitivity of the touch sensor prevent the top rating.
