The iPhone excels at media consumption (Music/photos/video/web), while the P & X series handsets strength are in media creation (typing documents, Office work, camera, camcorder, and so on).

The iPhone excels at media delivery with excellent surfing, video, gaming, music etc - but do the P or x series excel at media creation? There are better cameras and camcorder modes on other phones (even other smartphones), right? So again, going back to the point of this thread, if the iPhone has the media experience all sewn up, and other phones are better for media creation, what's the major strength of the X1 for example?

None of the current bunch of 8MP shooters are worthy of being branded as media creators. Banging out documents and messages is awfully slow on a T9 keypad. The only 5MP equipped WinMo phone, the Touch HD is trying too hard to be an iPhone, or at least that's what you said. I can't think of a single Blackberry that beats the P1i's camera module. The S60 reps (N95/N96/N82/N85) are awfully slow to type on.
In the current scheme of things, the X1 and P1i fit in perfectly as the one of the best compromises for media creation.

Gforce, your far to easily dismissive of the HD and the likes of Renoir/Pixon, all of which are very strong in nearly all areas, and nobody buys a BB OR an iphone for their imaging abilities, their considerable strengths lie elsewhere .

MWEB, I was merely trying to prove my point of the P & X series being media creators. While I hold the Touch HD in very high regard (heck, it's the best phone out here ATM) but if you back up a few pages, Boinng stated that the Touch HD was trying too much to be an iPhone.
The Renoir and Pixon are brilliant for capturing images but what about document creation, texting and the likes?


Thanks. You just proved my point that the iPhone is hopeless as a media creator while the BB is amazing for banging out documents but pretty bad at everything else.

To reiterate, the P & X are pretty much the best all-round choice for media creation. The N97 might change all that but it's a good 6 months down the line. Who knows what SE might come up with?

Indeed, i get your point, and with regard to the TS UI, ALL phones try to emulate the iphone, but there's the rub, it's a one trick pony, and the dictionary definition of Multimedia incorporates both Video and still image recording, need i say any more
