todd That's the thing, the iphones have been able to do what DS described in his post since they came out.

At the end of the day the only reason I switched again was the lack of quality camera, I know the new one has a good camera but even then, they are waaaay overpriced compared to other phones.

Exactly HTC are free on contract but you still have to pay for an iPhone with less functionality - crazy.

Dan_Turism0 11 days and counting till I can get my Galaxy S Big Grin although I'm going to have a interesting talk with Orange as to why my upgrade costs £150 when they are selling the phone for £50 on the tariff that I want, ****** cheek of it
That sounds a lot unless that's on a low priced 12 month contract?

Yep, for me contract length is the biggest problem with the iPhone but the cost can't be ignored, I'm now paying £25/month on a 12 month contract for the SGS and although it's arguable as to whether the iPhone is better or not is it worth that much extra? :blink:

That exact deal is £30/month with free phone on vodafone - just say you're going to leave if they don't offer the same Smile

The question should really be the other way round given that the iPhone costs a LOT more....... :tongue_smilie:

been playing with a friends iphone 4 today

cant beleive how heavy it is??????????????????????????????????????????????

although the dimensions are alot nicer and it is aesthetically much better to look at.....

you can also notice how much smoother the operating system is, flicking between home pages, the browser, opening apps, closing apps, all very slick and precise.

screen qaulity is immense compared to the 3G i have, video is stunning, pictures stunning,

it seems alot more intuitive aswell, not as many restrictions anymore, creation of simple folders, multi-tasking, emails are very welcomed additions

the ONLY TWO FACTORS putting me off would be the weight and cost

I genuinely reckon that a cheaper model such as a galaxy s, or the fourth coming HTC HD could easily be on a par if not better as a whole package

but still not in the same league of the market that apple are hitting witht he iphone in terms of easy use, easy maintenance

megapix means nothing though, it's the quality of the lens that matters.

Nokia N95 after all this time still ranks as one of my fav cameras on a phone.

Also got a Sony x10 with a 8mp camera and it's not a patch on the 5mp on my HD2.

parthiban That exact deal is £30/month with free phone on vodafone - just say you're going to leave if they don't offer the same Smile

ahh just had another look on orange £35 a month 1200minutes, unlimited texts, email, sat nav, mms etc etc with the Phone free.

So I pay the extra £2.50 and save myself £50 on the handset and get 1200minutes instead of 600 WTF????
