More factual corrections

Just as one cannot tell much difference in size between the screens of the HTC TouchHD and the iPhone...

Can you point out where I've ever claimed otherwise?

I wanted to stick with the default browsers for the iPhone, WM, and BB devices in my discussion... mainly because the 3rd party browsers for the iPhone either suck or you have to pay for... and the default browser of the iPhone, Safari, works pretty damned well on the iPhone so I'm good there.

So because the default browser on the iPhone is pretty good and there are no free 3rd party browsers for the iPhone, one cannot bring into discussion the free, good browsers for BB or WM? Can you explain to us how that makes sense?

WM is based on an old unsupported version of windows

WM has never been "based" on any version of desktop Windows so I'm really not sure where you are coming up with this stuff. Nor is iPhone OS compatible with OS X.

or constantly removing the card to control the content

I'm beginning to doubt you've ever owned a device with a removable card. You do not have to remove the card to change the content on the card. Once you've inserted the card, there is really no difference between it and built-in storage, with the obvious exception that you have far more flexibility with removable storage, should you choose to exercise that flexibility.

And the HTC Touch Diamond has 4GB of storage? Not bad, not bad at all... a quarter of what I have but not too shabby I guess...

I won't say it is particularly good and it wasn't a selling feature for me but I was simply correcting you when you said there were no WM devices with more than 2GB onboard storage. My music collection won't even begin to fit on a 32GB device so quite frankly 32GB is as useless to me as 4GB.

No, that is NOT like saying very few iPhone models have 16GB of storage... and where did I say you could get a WM device with 16GB of storage?

As I've pointed out above, once a card is inserted, there is no difference between it and built-in storage (other than the lack of flexibility inherent with built-in storage). The card can be written to without removing it. So to make this artificial distinction and say that no WM device has 16GB of storage is... artificial. It would be like saying computers with hard drives screwed in the case have "built-in" storage and computers with hard drives on slide-out bays are inferior. Once the hard drive is in the bay, it is indistinguishable from a hard drive that is screwed to the case.

and there is not a WM device or a BB device that could even use the blasted thing yet
