I've used Android devices, old and new, I've used blackberries, windows mobiles and other smartphones and nothing can compare to iOS4 and the wide array of apps that are available.
It's the world's most successful mobile device for a reason.
aka you're a sheep and buy what you're told is cool
i think twice about spending £600 on a laptop, let alone on something that does much less, at a slower speed and is much more likely to break.
after all what does it really do?
make/receive calls - £10 phones do this
touch screen - £30 have this
internet/emails/doc editing/etc - £100 phones do this just as well if not better
plays music - you can get mp3 players for a couple quid, for a little more and you can easily beat the storage capacity.
camera - a £20 camera takes better photos
other features/app - all basically pointless novelty crap
£100 phone + SD card(s) + £450 change/spare easily beats the iphone for anyone with a brain
p.s.
best hope u don't drop it. lol
