iPhone vs HTC Pure: considering switching?

So for christmas i got an htc pure, one of the newest windows phones. Initially i didn’t want an iphone because i already had an ipod touch and didn’t want to work on software that was so familiar. Also, the rest of the mobile phone companies have had 3 years to compete with the iphone and i thought there had to be something better out there.

I like the htc pure, i just think the iphone still does more. The windows market place is new and a development in progress so it only has less than a fraction of the amount of apps in the app store. So how long until windows market place can compete with the app store? Although it is a windows phone and can download and install non-microsoft-published (.cab) applications from anywhere on the web.

Another reason i want to switch to the iphone is the capacitive highly sensitive touch screen. I’m not impressed with the resistive screen keyboard on my htc pure at all. Its just so small and so hard to type out sentences without spelling errors.

Also i’m not impressed with the media quality. Playing mp3s are ok, but going online and looking at youtube videos (which must be done through the browser) proved the video quality to be terrible.

Also i just don’t find my self needing the windows mobile essentials which it has over the iphone, like multi-tasking.. microsoft office.. ect.

I’m also unhappy with the battery life on my htc pure. I feel like i can’t waste any time on the internet browser, to save the battery. The iPhone 3GS claims to have longer battery life so theres another reason to switch.

The only pro i see from keeping the htc pure is the 5.0mp camera. The still pictures have excellent quality.

Basically the only con i see from switching is the camera.

But some how i feel like the ‘iPhone being the greatest smartphone’ is from its sales statistics which is from its insane amount of marketing. But looking at my ipod touch, the browser, the apps, the features im looking for are overkill compared to my htc pure.

So do you think i should switch to the iPhone from my windows phone?
