I still wouldn't touch 3 now even if they have got better. They are due to be the last service provider to get 4G when it becomes standard due to their frequency apparently. My brother has an iPhone on 3 and reckons they are great apart from the network coverage being almost none existent in and around Oxfordshire! Yeah fabulous lol. They are super cheap though and you can get an iPhone on a £25 a month contract with all you can eat data, minutes and texts. The others you pay more for but at least you know you get a signal.
Saying that I pay the same amount on O2 having paid I think £260 for the handset of my iPhone 5. I bought it through topcashback after an agent set up the deal for me online and got £70 cashback after 3 months. I paid £190 for the iPhone which was £10 cheaper than I paid for the Incredible S when that first came out. The HTC was on a stupidly cheap monthly tariff though so both worked out cheaper than advertised. Nobody likes paying more than they have to..

RIM/Blackberry announces a surprise first quarter loss and announces that the PlayBook won't be getting the BB10 OS.
They also announced that their subscriber base shrank by 4 million, to 72 million, and that they only shipped 2.7 million of the new BB10 devices - at the low end of analysts' estimates. The shares (BBRY) are off about 25%/-$3.60 right now, down to $10.85 - down to $10.25 at one point. Time to try to catch a falling knife? Hmm... Since BBRY's management now says they're going to stop providing subscriber numbers going forward, probably not. They obviously see a (bad) trend coming this way."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

The Computer have much larger variances in hardware/software but it usually also allows for more the development of more powerful/advanced applications/software.
While the developers for XB/PS have basically just on set of specs (per console) to develop to but they are on the other hand much more restricted regarding
how advanced/powerful applications they can handle.
In a way its about the same with Iphone vs. Android. IPhones have much smaller variances in hardware then android phones
but the newest high end Android phones with faster cpu. more ram and larger screen allows for more advanced software....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...
Not important, but nice to see that he has still the ability to drive fast
