2.1 Firmware this Friday [Details inside]

Really, i thought it was the apple OS that was easy to learn and use? First i've heard it go the other way. Windows shows little mercy to those who don't know a lot of about computers.

Sure, the mac is more stable. It has less programs made for it with a lot of things made by apple. Virus makers don't really target macs. But that all aside, the only thing that has given Vista the bsod is itunes. I've not crashed other than that itunes 8.0 update. For me, the gaming alone puts Macs in the dirt. I've toyed around with switching to one now and then..i go price one at apple's site and have to shake my head. No way i'd pay that much for so little.

Since 2.1 my iphone doesn't crash nearly as often. I tend to blame more of my problems on weak at&t coverage at this point but do note that the dropped calls problem is worse after 2.1.

Finally, dude, sprint is much much better than at&t. Cheaper, faster, etc. No extra charges here. Customer service is bad everywhere. Sprint's evdo coverage is much better than at&t's. Sure, this all varies to whatever location you're in. Give me an iphone on sprint and i'm good to go

I have to disagree with Windows being easier to use. That is a first for me as well. The only thing that may be a little confusing to a first time Mac user is all of the little cool shortcuts. But once you get the hang of it, it's a piece of cake.

How can you say sprints network is faster when every 3g carrier in the US has the same 3g speeds. Plus, hspda has the capabilities to be so much faster than evdo rev a. It's the coverage area. But it is a known fact that sprint is the worst. They are always ranked the lowest and lost around 1-2 million customers last year I think. I will try to find the link later today. And with the mac vs windows on gaming, yea windows blows mac out of the water because there are more windows users so they cater to them. Games are always released on windows first. It is all a matter of opinion thought.

evdo rev a is faster..sorry. It's not a known fact that sprint is worse. It's simply your opinion.

Those aren't the reasons gaming is superior. The real reason is that windows can run the faster video cards.

Is EVDO Rev A faster? What about Rev B? And faster than what? US HSPDA? What about HSPUA? What about European HSPA implementations? What about HSPA Plus?

EVDO rev A IS NOT faster. I really don't understand why you think that. It is a known fact that Sprint sucks. This is just one article S&P cuts Sprint rating to just above junk - Baltimore Business Journal:

How can you say they do not suck when they consecutively lose more customers then they gain?
