Posted by Kromey at 12:57pm Jan 18 '10they don't have nuthin' on an iPhone properly jailbroken and configured.
How about the ability to update the system without having to make sure it won't brick your jailbroken phone? ;-)
Yes, the iPhone's hardware is very capable. When it was released, and for a long time thereafter, it was most certainly the most powerful smartphone out there. Too bad Apple crippled it, so that in actual usability it was surpassed far more quickly it ever should have been. Speaking strictly on the hardware, the iPhone 3GS is still superior to any Droid phone yet released (okay, that statement's a least a few weeks old, so might be untrue now - but it's at least a very close call), but with Apple's crippling of it the thing cannot match any Droid unless you jailbreak it, an act that, if you don't brick it yourself in the process, puts you in very real danger of Apple bricking it for you on a future update (they've done it before, they will do it again - don't kid yourself into thinking Apple's not the new Evil Empire, rising up to replace the brow-beaten Microsoft).
