Marketing strategy my a*se
The iPhone's winning because it's a supremely powerful device which delivers a user experience many leagues beyond any comparable smartphone, combined with a plethora of genuinely useful features and add-on applications that makes WM look agonisingly dull and stupid.
If you want to talk marketing strategies, just ask yourself where that self-flattering, aspirational, utterly meaningless phrase "power user" came from...

Although of course it does compete, and is selling far more than either the 5800 or the X1.
Let's be real here, the iPhone
is the competition, and it's been winning from the start.
You dont half talk some tosh mate

It clearly states you never really tried to do anything serious on a smartphone. "User experience" - man, this is a real marketing! They did it to you already!
Anyway, your praising as a "winner" a device which after 1.5 years is still not able to send a contact, copy text or forward a message is just makes me end this discussion.
Can we talk about SE now, not about toys for kids?

Not marketing, just experience - which apparently you lack. You're talking about doing "serious" things on a smartphone, but don't rate the ease, speed, efficiency, or effectiveness of performing that action as worthy of note. The classic sign of the sort of "power user" that desperately needs to know their device is capable of something, without ever needing to actually use it.
When you need to actually do something with your phone on a regular basis, that's when you start to appreciate the "user experience".

If you had any idea of just how much the iPhone can do these days, you'd never have started the discussion in the first place. I already have an official app that sends contacts by email, and I can jailbreak for copy & paste and SMS forwarding (although as an adult I rarely feel the need to forward SMS).
I'm sorely tempted to list some of the serious tasks my own particular phone can perform, quickly and efficiently and without even being jailbroken, but it'd be a long and tedious list.

Ok, now, can we talk about SE X1 in SE X1 thread?

That would depend on whether posters like you, Nitro Fan and l337h1um feel like bringing up the iPhone again

I din't bring it, anyway, one sentence does not have to turn into the same discussion again. Use your iPhone and be happy.

- I have an X1 and and Ipod Touch. I use the Ipod touch for music and games and I use the X1 for everything else. The keypad in an iPod/iPhone is so terribly painful to use I stopped using facebook app and email.The iPod has a far easier interface but for me personally, all these apps and things without a propper keyboard is too much for me. I will never own an iPhone for this reason alone. No disrespect to any iPhone make-lovers but X1 (or any keyboarded phone for me) kills iPhone for text input and my personal "user experience" involves alot of it.
So, a real question is, will the next Windows Mobile OS have a similar interface to the iPhone? More than likely is my guess. How else would you ever get an iPhone user to move from an iPhone?

I had a problem maching P1 keybord speed of text input in my X1. Then I realised that using top of fingers is a bad approach. I started using palm side of each finger (full finger) and its amazing. Love those keybords. Fantastic phone!

Great you like it.
Join xda-devs too, there's much to gain from there.
Also look at freeware sites, there are many OUTSTANDING apps there.
