Yes Ł64.50 is outrageous.

You dont need to pay anywhere near that, and back on the subjec of course they are good.

You will always get the mob that are against them.

i would say the only problem with it, which is the same for most apple products is that they release one not as good as they could have, like camera and video calling etc etc.

Then they will release another with better bits then another with even better bits etc etc. Basically they want to get as much money out of it as possible, Which if the consumer is going to allow by buying every one as soon as it comes out then good luck to them....

You upload your pics to your pc via iTunes. Bluetooth only works iPhone go iPhone any you still need to download an app for it. If you use internet it's a crackin phone!

Were you having a wank in the shop doorway and they saw you coming?
Ł64.50 a month for a mobile phone - what a waste of money.

So what exactly did you get for your money on a Ł45 a month tariff from orange? O2's Ł35 a month tariff includes Internet

Ł35 a month for mine from o2

Only complaints are no flash player and the fact you have to do everything usefull through itunes

Great bit of kit if you actually use any of the decent apps out there

Can see how folk think they're a novelty if they dont make use of the features in a useful way

I take it you got the 32gb 3gs free then forŁ45 a month, the insurance can be had for less than Ł12 I think if you look on the net it can be cheaper,or get it named on your house insurance.
How many texts do you need for the extra Ł7.50 ?

Maybe if you got the payments down to Ł45 and not Ł64 oddvyou might feel you would be getting value for money and enjoy it more.

I find it way easier and less aggro to use the iPhone to email pics to my computer, it's less fiddly than having to turn on bluetooth etc.

Pics aren't exactly pro quality, but no where near as bad as everyone makes out - this is an iPhone pic...
