I was rather surprised to see that Orange here in the UK has actually got an option on it’s menu structure called ‘iPhone Alternatives‘.
iPhone must be hurting them. Here’s a snapshot — see the bottom menu:
Click on the menu item and you’re presented with four options — Blackberry Bold, Samsung Omni, Samsung Tocco and HTC Diamond.
All are super handsets if you’re that way inclined but they are nowhere, nowhere, nowhere near the experience of an iPhone.
They are best described as Wannabe-Poor-Mans-iPhone-Alternatives.
I felt the first version of this post needed some reasoning behind your opinions. This version is flat out offensive to owners of the 4 devices above – although I'm sure that wasn't your intention.
These devices shouldn't be anywhere near being compared to the iPhone David. Where are you thinking I'm offending people?
The last two paragraphs come across as saying that the iPhone is a magical product and that any other phone is for poor wannabes.
What's wrong with comparing the iPhone to any other device?
I think it's an indication of the hurt Orange are feeling every month as they come to try and retain their out-of-contract users browsing for the next device for them.
These are blatantly nowhere near as good an experience. Sit a normob down and compare each and it's the iPhone they'll go for.
