Cheap? There's more quality in that single switch than there is in the whole of the Galaxy HTC Dreamboat S.

Funny how some people have a hatred for iPhones, does make me laugh really. I guess they're just jealous really. I used to work with a bloke who had the same hatred with a passion, funny guy. The rest of us used to love winding him up. Come to think of it he was like it with anything like most that have this problem.. ie you'd turn up on a new R1 and he'd be like "oh dear, I'd have gone for the gsxr" even when he had the shittiest old crap ever (which I'd never dream of slating to him) etc, same with TV's game consoles (he went for the council estate console - xbox)

I think it's called cutting your nose off to spite your face.

It makes me laugh, the Apple haters spend sooooo much time trying to justify why the Andriod xxx phone is better, has more features, has better this that and the other, and we are all just sheep fashion victims. You NEVER see iPhone users slating other phones, just suggesting they try one before writing it off.

I bought my iPhone after waiting ages for a different manufacturer to make a better product, but after trying most of the stuff on the market at the time (3gs), nothing even comes close to the iPhone for what I want from my phone.

I don't care what other people think of my phone, I have no brand affinity to Apple, I have no fashion sense what so ever, I just want the easiest to use, best interfaced product I can get, which happens to be the iPhone, by a country mile.

Apple haters will hate, thier loss IMHO

It's pretty cast iron. They're very good at just swapping the phone for a new one if there are any issues, even ones that are clearly your own fault! I had a new one 9 months into my contract, and I know a bunch of people who have also had them replaced without issue.

The smart thing to do (if you're clumsy) would be to take out insurance after your warranty has expired.

just a logical view, not a Porkie Apple Nerd view.

its not a great phone, once again all hype, guys you must see it, please else i have lost faith in human nature.

I look at things logically that's how I am built, so if you go a buy a new TV you take not notice of the spec and how well it works or price and only look at brand?

it realy realy fucking concerns me

Apparently IOS 5 contributes to the better battery life with better power management so the current 4 will benefit too Happy Days

I don't care how it looks, I think it's a great mobile phone because:

It functions without issue
It is piss easy to use
does what I ask it to do
touch screen is brilliant
Camera is great! (HD video is also really good as is the sound quality)
battery life for me is perfect
never had any call issues where reception disappears...

etc etc......

What's crap about it? How can it ALL be hype when it's number one smart phone for 2011?

There's nothing wrong with you not liking it Johnny, but equally their is nothing wrong with people who do like it........

Agreed,

But I know at least 3 other phones which will do as you suggested cheaper and do as your suggested better in all counts!


and no its not the number one smart phone of 2011, please do your research mate, it may improve its rankings due to just catching up with the market leaders, but please stop buying in to the Apple rip off!!!

i;d be interested in the new iphone 4s if they have sorted signal issues out, for nearly a year i have argued with vodafone about ip4 as 99% of the calls in my home or local to it dropped out of signal, never had a isuue before this phone so finally 8 weeks ago they gave me the htc sensation , which has been 100% better signal wise not as easy to use as iphone but thought i would get use to it, but main fault is build quality they let dust in everywhere unlike iphone which is sealed the htc back cove r comes off, they let dust in around charge point and volume button, and on the right bottom corner which i cannot explain, inside case though internals not sealed so dust goes straight under glass between screen, absolute crap design, i do not work in a dusty environment,so not that purely in my pocket , i recieved my 3rd handset yesterday which i was told problem been rectified , dodgy batch etc etc and on opening has dust/debris under from manafacturing all in all shit experience of htc , ip4s on the way by looks of it, anyone got galaxy s2? any good?

I can't comment on other mob's other than my mates Sony ericsson Android thing, I don't like it it's faarrr too complicated, camera's shite, just not user friendly whatesoever. (Android in general for me jus seems awkward).

Everything works so easily on an iphone....

I assumed it was smartphone of 2011 as I googled it, and in the video earlier i'm sure the chap talking about IOS 5 and new 4Gs sais so?

What's your big gripe with Apple? We could discuss it during one of these tent party's perhaps?


Did I mention how well Iphone's are built?

So a Sony phone which has been the market leader in Camera phones for the last 10 years is shit to a fucking iphone 4 i would suggest wake the fuck up, android or not the Iphone has been shit it has only just improved and almost up to the market leaders with the IPhone4s...

with hand on heart the iphone 4(as its the same case is as the iphone 4s) is a design classic almost perfect, could do with a bigger screen for me well built, but as compered to the market leaders it is SHIT, sorry it has so much bad points to not take notice of the market leaders, but must admit the only phone which is close to build spec of the Iphone 4 is the the HTC sensation, it does not look as posh, but has a much stronger shell, the S2 is just a fucking great spec phone which is the best spec phone on the market which, which does every thing so fucking well, but made of plastic.... so you make your choice i for one want a phone which will to everything so fucking well with no issues.


if you want a phone which is basic and you think its the best when you brag to your mates, and you got to have the the Iphone 4s its old tech with classic face, must admit IOS5 is massive step forward, but its only to catch up!!!

I'm a bit gutted at how expensive the new one will be. I have the 3gs, and want to upgrade to the 4s... but the one I need (64gb) due to all my stuff is going to be well expensive, 2 year contract, Ł47pm and Ł300 handset price roughly.

Makes me want to join tesco mobile or kill myself ( whichever comes first/ both equally as sad)

How wound up does Johnny B get over a phone? Christ I'd hate to be upgrading his phone in case he went mental in the shop over features one phone has compared to the other!

Probably another phone will be out soon now as Steve Jobs has died. (RIP)
