By the looks of it, specs and reviews, I think this phone beats the crap out of iPhone in every way. Moreover, it is windows based so more apps are available for it as well.

There is no doubt that the touch screen technology of Iphone (capacitive) is much better than that in HTC or other handsets (resistant) in terms of smoothness and response and that Mac OS is more user friendly but overall, it seriously lacks in many key features that Windows OS provides!

HTC HD has an excellent display 800x480 (better than Iphone!), a very good browser Opera 9.5 almost as good as Safari, all possible communication options and a much stable and feature packed Windows OS which not only has endless possibilities w.r.t. flexibility but also has a huge library of third-party apps

Bcoz Iphone has set the bar very high considering touchscreen technology and ergonomics which other companies are now constantly trying to achieve!
That's the reason why almost every other touchscreen phone now has more finger-friendly interface than before and bigger screen size with minimal hardware buttons

Not because I own an iPhone 3G. But it really is a great phone, in terms of entertainment!

But HTC Touch HD looks sleek. It have very good reviews, I must say!

Windows mobile for entertainment.think again.....

HTC Touch HD-not quite the HD resolution but still wvga 800x480 pixels.(comparison with omnia iphone?).

as said iphone is entertainment.

HTC is Windows OS.unlimited flexibility for "non entertainment" users.

Opera better then safari?

Non-entertainment

Emails,Internet,Stocks,Web-reuters,Ticks,Spreadsheets,Organiser or daily planner,,,,,my Uses.

Friendly user interface for all stuff?

Its not available in Pakistan yet and even if it becomes later, it will cost more than Rs. 70k just like Omnia which still costs Rs. 60k whereas if u buy it from abroad it doesnt costs more than Rs. 47k.
Similarly, HD currently costs around Rs. 60k abroad

I agree with you that as far as entertainment is concerned, Iphone is the best since its also the best Ipod till date!
But, as I mentioned earlier, if we look at both of them from a wider perspective, the HD beats iphone easily overall! Why? Bcoz:

The effective number of dpi in HD's resolution is far greater than Omnia and Iphone
Opera is not better than Safari but quite close to it!
HD also supports many formats for audio and video playback plus it has a 3.5 mm audio jack which enables the user to use any headset of his/her choice and this again takes the overall quality of music closer to Iphone!
The UI of HD (touchflo3d) may not be as friendly as Iphone's but it is the best in a window based mobile and gives u that Iphony feeling most of the time!
On the other hand,
Bluetooth on Iphone? NO! except for BT handsfree
Video recording? NO
SMS forwarding? NO (except that it can be achieved via 3rd party softwares)
MMS? NO
No copy/paste functionality in browser, text editor, messages etc..
Everytime u upgrade its software, u have to jailbreak it plus Unlock which is quite frustrating
U cant download music, videos directly from the browser
Iphone cant be used as a mass storage device on a PC and u r bound to sync it with iTunes for backup and restore which quite limits everything (those who have used it will agree with me)
And one more thing....it crashes a Hell lot!
