Fair enough. I'll be reminded of Trigger Happy TV if I ever see you making a call on it

I ended up getting my Nexus One from the US. AT&T unlocked phone. Getting them in the UK was stupidly difficult.

i know what you mean mate, i went into 02 and they'd not even heard of them. The only place i could get one from was vodaphone and they didnt have a demo one just order it and you'd get it? Wtf! The dell does everything the nexus one does but not as girley as the iphone. When the iphone first come out i wanted 1 but glad i didnt. Too many new ones coming out even before a quater of the contract has been paid, and its seen as pikey if you've not got the latest one lol too much fashion and not enough function imo.

I bet it's a belter of a phone but do you get one and then get labelled, A a geek for choosing something better or B a loser for following the crowd?

The only thing i find everytime I use my phone in front of other people is that they seem to be desperate to show me what their phone does compared to my iphone 4, says it all to me

Or have a look at both, and get the one YOU like best.

I have had a good go on a mates HTC and there is no way it's 'better'. Different yes, but better no.

Dan, Nail. Head.

I have friends with the Desire, Touch HD 2 etc etc, and I used to be 100% HTC before the iPhone. They are great devices and its what you want to use it for an how you want to use it.

I would have a 2G iPhone over any other device, but now the iPhone 4 is out its no contest.
The HTC devices are very good tho, but not as 'fast' at browsing the web, photo zooming is clunky on HTC, well it is compared to the iPhone.

What says it all to me is the people who have iPhone 4's complain to high and mighty about them then insist on keeping them!



I love my iPhone4, really handy for work as access to 99% of sites is restricted due to my role.

The phone signal on 02 is utterly crap.

The battery wont last a day if you use it much on line.

Most of the time it wont pick up 3G and so you cant get on the web.

I;ve broken 2 of them just from falling off the seat in the car.

Its useless for sending text messages unless you stop everything you are doing and concentrate on the screen typing.


i-phone is the worst bit of technology i've ever bought what a waste of money, in the end I had to keep my old orange phone running along side it so I can make calls anywhere, rather than having to lean out a window or climb a hill.


iphone = nice and shinny piece of crap.
have you really got 1 then!!?? if you have you are on the wrong network then because, i have an i phone 4 on what some would say the worst network out three and have had no problems.. so are you 1 of those apple beaters

As he said it feels very well built its just alot lighter then the iphone so people think its abit flimsey, The speaker is fine its no dolby 5.1 but its nothing to complain about and as for the swype txtin you dont have to use it you could just use the keys like the iphone but once your use to it its so quick and easy

anyway i just wanted to point out this "quick" thing
