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!!!

ive just gone and got a galaxy s2. i think the iphone will probably be very good, but just as an example, the iphone 4 costs apple $18 to make, yet they sell it for how much? after talking to an actual salesman, and an apple worker its clear that the biggest selling point is the apple logo on the back and front.

Bollox does it cost $18, the machine time in the metal frame would cost $18. then theres all the screen, camera, glass, people wages to build the phone and build all the parts.

"Interestingly, it seems as though many of the components that grant cutting-edge benefits are rather cheap, with the most expensive being Apple’s “retina display” at a cost of US$28.50 per unit. Elsewhere, the internal A4 processor from Samsung costs around $10.75 per unit, a gyroscope chip about $2.60 and the accelerometer just $0.65. Oh, and if you didn’t already realize, that metal strip around the outside is the phone’s antenna.

If samsung didnt make chips for apple ( and therfore benefit hugely from economies of scale ) they wouldnt be able to produce their own chips at a competitive price and the galaxy would be very expensive

Hence that altho they are both suing and countersuing over tech infringments and trying to stop ipad/iphone/galaxy tabs being sold in other markets there is no problem with thei runderlying trading agreements....wierd and funny !

i dont care where theyre made $18 is about £15 (guessing) look at the price of a new glass screen from the country where theyre made from ebay, just the glass alone is £5 and theres two pieces, plus the actual screen, and countless other parts, say what you like but i think it would cost at least £40-50 to build one phone.

I don't know what to do ... Just gone down to £13 a month on O2 simplicity, 600 mins, unlimited texts & 100MB of data on my old 3GS.

Not sure if I can be fucked going onto a £41+ data tariff for 18 months just to get an iPhone 4s, which really only benefits me a better camera & a few other bits that no doubt I won't really care about anyway?

The odd thing is buying a 4s outright actually works out MORE expensive in the long run than just getting it on contract? O2 are taking the piss a bit with the data charges being added to the tariff, but don't really want to go through the hassle of swapping to another network....

Could be tempted to have a play with the Galaxy s2, see if it is worth getting one of those instead?

Recon O2 would offer a better deal if I threaten to leave, or just say fuck off as i'm only on a rolling contract now?

How much is the Galaxy 2 coming in at? I pay £15 month for my HTC desire, but struggling to get anywhere near that low, without paying a whack up front.
