A few factual corrections

even then the screen is smaller - at 3.25" as opposed to the 3.5" iPhone screen

You would be hard pressed to really tell the difference between a 3.25" and a 3.5" screen.

and I'm going by default browsers here that were installed with the OS

Why? Do you only use the default software on the iPhone and your Mac?

IE for WM is in the dark ages
My HTC Touch Diamond came with Opera Mobile 9.5 by default, a browser that everyone who has used it unanimously agrees is better than mobile Safari. Opera Mobile 9.7 goes even further, scoring 100 on the ACID 3 test. There are no browsers currently available for the iPhone that can claim this. There are 2 for WM (Iris is the other one).

I have yet to hear of ANY WM or BB device with over 2GB of on board storage

Two points:
1. Who cares if it is onboard or through a card? Sure, factor in the cost of the card you might need to buy but once the card is installed, why do you have to carry another?
2. My HTC Touch Diamond comes with 4GB of on board storage so now you know of 1.

Can a WM phone do that? Ummm not without a few SD cards - unless it can use a 16Gb card which very few can

So you admit that yes, you can get a 16GB WM device if having 16GB of storage is important to you. Saying that "very few can" would be like saying "very few iPhone models have 16GB of storage". As long as there is 1, that's all you need.

As far as 32GB is concerned, Apple has been leading for 1 day. 32GB MicroSD cards are coming out very soon and then Apple loses the advantage.

Enjoy the iPhone but please don't spread falsehoods about the competition.
