    I'd guess it'd break within days of purchase. Probably a screen malfunction attributable to (some) use.

    So it's basically a Pda? All those fancy funtions look fine but how many of the networks in the UK will actually offer service on them? Things like voicemail order are the domain of the network unless they have a special setup for Apple.

    This is interesting. Like watching a movie made in 1956 about 1992.

    To show what the initial reaction was when the concept of the iPhone was first discussed.

    Is this against forum rules? :sign14:

    ...and to see how many millions Tiverton made on his shares

    I-phones are hugely overated.

    I beg to differ. I am not an Apple freak by no means but since starting my new job I at the turn of the year, my workhpone is an iPhone. Started with a 3GS temporarily while the iP4 was being delivered. I've had the iP4 for 3 weeks now and it is absolutely fantastic. So intuitive to use, great specs (screen res, camera, video in HD etc). I know there are some fantastic Android phones out there. A mate who isn't particularly technical recently bought the HTC Desire HD - spec-wise is shytes all over the iP4 but within two weeks he'd sold the HTC and got an iP4.

    My point is that unless you want to spend time setting up and managing your phone there's no getting around the iPhones.

    I went from having a BB to an I-phone, lasted five or six months with it before I sold it and bought another BB. If the I-phone done everything it claimed it could then it would be untouchable but it was poor in my opinion. A great toy but not good for working from. E-mails would take forever to come through, the battery was poor, the signal was normally very weak. I expected it to be brilliant but it was average, with the BB I expected it to be good and it is good.

    Interestingly, when I spoke to O2 to get my sim changed from I-phone data to BB data they said they had no problem with me coming out of the contract despite not having been in it for very long because of the huge number of people they were having that had gone from BB to I-phone and quickly wanting to revert back to a BB.

    When was this LBH? No doubt Apple didn't originally think of the iPhone as a work tool. But it is now. Battery life is very good, emails are massively easier (for me) than it was on my BB-like Samsung a while back.

    What I like about it is that it does what is says. The connection is good though it does have that infamous spot where you shouldn't hold your finger (silly of Apple to make such a mistake). It does have many short-comings (iTunes, no mem. extension, no HD video output etc etc...) but I haven't been hampered by any of them... yet.

    Never understand the attraction of iphones and other smart phones.

    All you are paying for really is the ability to go on the internet, which you can do at home. I can't think of a single thing I would need to do on the internet that was so urgent it couldn't wait until I for home, or to work.

    Personally I love my Nokia X6. I broke it once by snapping off the unlock button but that was just me being a ****. I sent it off for repair and they sent one back right away no questions, no fee. Great service. No complaints with this phone. Does e-mail, does music, does text, does phone people, does internet.

    Can get signal in most places, but I can't get internet signal at VR which is a pain but not surprising really. Love it really. A blackberry doesn't really appeal to me, only seems to be BBM making people my age buy it...

    Mine was £40 second hand off ebay. Sony Ericsson something or other, made in 2006.

    Only ever owned two phones, and that was the first one I paid for.

    You aren't alone.

    My phone does so much. From synching with my email, to organising my work day, to measuring and comparing my excercise progress in the gym, to providing me with sat-nav or a map if I need it, to giving me games to play on the toilet, to giving me Kindle so I can read a book whenever I want, to carrying all my music with me at all times, to being able to access the internet to answer any quick or bothersome questions which arise from trivial conversations.

    It does a lot more besides, but a Nokia 3310 owner would not be able to comprehend.
