The big winner is Infineon with four chips, including GPS and 3G radio. Little-known chip firm TriQuint also won, with three power amplifiers inside the phone. Wi-Fi was once again provided by Marvell, but Broadcom scored low, with only a touchscreen controller and no GPS (which we had been expecting).

Since there are not too many free apps for iphone i'll stick with symbian based phones or WM. I like to play games for free which I can easily download on the internet and install on my symbian phone. Iphone is a alot sexier though and has great features, but where are the apps? NOt sure what would happen if I dropped either... I just downloaded IPHONE SDK and guess what I need 10.5.3 i'm still using 10.4.9... Plus there is a hundred dollar fee at the end of the deal.. MAC == Microsoft GO with brew and java based cell phones lots more apps...</p> In the end it comes down to how many apps are available for a particular device..
