The two I use every day are Excel and Word.

I have several Excel files that I need to be able to access and update, and some Word documents that are printed quite regularly.

I have some "professional" software on mine, which wouldn't interest many on here, that runs under WM6.1 but is not available for iPhone.

The Diamond also does e-mail, SMS, MMS, Skype, YouTube and much more. Mine came with Opera, which works perfectly on it (unlike Opera on the WM5 Orbit I had before).

The Diamond also works with the low-price contract SIM that I've had for years. iPhone from O2 requires the expensive iPhone contract.

There are also facilities that are blocked on the "standard" iPhone, for reasons I've never quite understood.
