Nope. It's a thread about the iPhone, not one about Android V Apple. No need to bite

Come on Apple bummers, let's go
people say the iphone camera is bad cos it only had 5 mega pixel, but if you ask any photograper its not the mega pixels you look for in a camera its the quailty of the photo and the quality in low light situations

Because that's a typical Android-owner argument - they love to do a 'top trumps' style numbers comparison when it's not just about the cold facts.

For a camera on a phone it's pretty decent, and seeing as you will keep and view the vast majority of the photos on the actual phone it's perfect.

Think when my contract is for renewal in 6 months I will get an iPhone 5.
App store etc is loads better than the Android Market.

I had the same. My iPhone was out of warranty by 2 months, yet they swapped it for a brand new one as it had a sticky bottom button Cannot fault their service

My MacBook Pro is running exactly as it did the day I bought it (Over a year ago)

Can you do this even if you've bought a second hand phone with no receipt?

Nothing wrong with mine, just wondered IF anything did go wrong where I'd stand

Both of these statements are also EXACTLY true for me! Same fault, same time, same replacement, same laptop, running perfectly after many many illegal downloads

I like to have the latest tech, so Ł150 a year isnt a huge cost to achieve that (Sell current iPhone, buy new one on PAYG)

The vids in this thread, the new one wont have any of these things, it will have a bigger screen, better cam and dual core processor like in the iPad 2.

Of course Apple will announce "one other thing" that will be a deal breaker for most people.

whats wrong with the battery? ive had both 3G and 3GS and never been any worse than any other smartphone ive owned. People seem to think they can send texts, make calls, check email every hour, browse the net, listen to music and play games for 2 whole days on a single charge, its never going to happen on ANY phone

My phone has lasted a few days without charging when I didn't use it and I've been in and off all day long today and its still got 48% battery left

It's when you are gaming that I find it absolutly kills the battery

I think for the iPhone 4 there are better battery's but would require dismantling it to swap! Dunno if I'd fancy that?
That said I will be having an iPhone 5 when released

But Bluetooth is the easiest for mass sending stuff without resorting to emails and stuff

Saying that, if I need to send stuff to myself I simply email it and job done

Yes, all iPhones do that, and always have. They have Bluetooth for streaming music and calls etc. They don't connect via Bluetooth to other phones, but it's no great hardship seeing as there are countless other ways to exchange data.

Exactly. Why go to the aggro of turning Bluetooth on, paring devices then staying in the same proximity until it's copied. Just email it!

I only use bluetooth for hands free in the car so that's good to know.

Think I may jump ship from HTC to iPhone

Ive had them all mate and i always seem to go back to the iphone, i got the samsung galaxy when it first came out and the 3g iphone i had at the time put it to shame in terms of ease of use and speed.

Im glad ive stuck to the 4, nothing else touches it imo, and i never wanted to go apple for a long time.

Also i use a lot of hire cars at work and 9 times out of 10 the bluetooth connects to the car and i can play my music or have calls over the bluetooth.
