The Eye phone is eye candy. They lock you in and you are locked in. You don't have a huge repository of opensource or free apps that can be downloaded on the Iphone. You don't have a way for corporate rollouts on the Iphone. You do with Win Mobile. Hell with Win Mobile you can even terminal session into various PC's and Servers in your enterprise and actually do some system administration you can't do that with the IPHONE. OK so WinM does not have the sexyness that IPHONE has but it works, it just works well. WinM also has a really proven kernal that's actually pretty small and it's the same kernal that XP, Vista, Win7, 2003 and 2007 etc have. It just works and with the Windows Mobile you can download and run all the apps you can fine to your hearts delight.
Things I would like to see: Maybe more touchscreen stuff. Also the ability to landscape your browser would be nice, I hate browsing in the page mode (up and down) hard to see all the stuff on a web page. Larger screens would be nice but hey don't get rid of the keyboard it so much easier to type then to finger aound on a touchscreen. Maybe a fold out keyboard. But MS does not design the actual hardware that's left to the developers. The cost of Mobile stuff is really cheaper than the IPHONE, I see MS could come out with a few tweeks here and there and people would be saying, WOW, Windows Media is cool
