I'm an iPhone 3G owner and it was a good phone for its generation but tbh if I were to buy another phone right now my choice would be between HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S2 (or wait a little for S3). I think I'm paying too much for the logo in Apple's case and I kinda got tired of their 'control freaks' policy.
That's robbery. I pay 9 Euros a month for 3 GB of data and still think it's too expensive.Quote:

I called O2 today and they said I have averaged 678Mb over the past three months. They went away to see what they could offer me, and came back and said that their best offer is to pay £33 for the handset which is £33 more than the offer on their website for the same deal :up: (600 minutes, 1gb data, unlimited texts).
Three are offering free handset, £38 a month for 1000 minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited data which is a much better deal. Does anyone have any experience of Three, any good?
Definitely don't want a S2 or S3, too big!!
If you are wanting reasonably sized but good then you can't do better than an iPhone 4S in my opinion.
O2 == Arsenal.Quote:

Does any provider have a decent data network. I think they all suck?
My data connection on Orange is faster than my home broadband!!!!
My data speed in towns is fine, but living out in the sticks it is sometimes faster to run to a datacentre down south, copy the info to my laptop and then run home again and look at it :s
Just been in and bought an iPhone, so will see how I get on. Expect plenty of questions to appear :s :p :
Well done J4MIE! Which model did you get exactly?
PS Don't forget to download Forum Runner!
Either or. Both have their good and bad points. I'm posting this using Tapatalk which might mean something, or not.
I got a 16Gb IPhone 4S. Free handset and £36 on Vodafone. Woman in O2 when I called for the Pac code could only offer me the same spec for £41 and would send it to me within 3-4 days. I am really, really surprised that they refuse to do more to keep you as a.customer :s
Told the woman in the carphone warehouse that she didn't need to set it up for me as I can do that myself (as you do) so have already cursed at it as I can't get my sim card in it, I forgot to bring a paper clip with me :p :
Remember that you can't port numbers to Vodafone once you already have one.
When I got my iPhone 4 it came with a SIM removal tool but obviously they don't any more. A 1p saving for Apple there.
Once again I agree with you, Tapatalk is a lot better than Forum Runner ;)Quote:

Well, so far I have to say I really like it :up: As mentioned above, it just works. It's really fast compared to my Streak, and it's great to be using a phone one handed again :bounce: Which helps if, say, you have a chilli/ eye related incident :s
I thought you talked about one handed not one eyed. ;)Quote:

Picked up a Droid Razr last week, and don't regret it at all. Initial impression though is that the iPhone is easier to use out of the box, and has a more user friendly interface. I won't be tweaking software at all, though I will do a lot of things to manage the phone to suit my needs. Overall the voice search and commands IMO are at least in line with the iPhone, and overall response is faster. Side by side I think the Droid would be quicker...... but having said that for the person that wants the more "human" and logical inputs and setup the iPhone is still better for ease of use.
That's exactly my impression. Apple stuff tends to just work straight out of the box, and for most users it's very very good indeed. But what if you want a better/different browser, or MP3 player, or photo viewer, etc? Android phones can take a while to customise and I can see why that would put people off, but with a modicum of patience you can end up with a far better (IMO) UI.Quote:

Can you change the setting for default browser without jailbreaking? I was lead to believe that even though you can install others, Safari still makes itself the default.Quote:

Like I can afford a pink helicopter. Have you any idea how much helicopter paint costs?!
Been very happy with my iPhone since I got it, for me it's an improvement over Android. Still got to get around to sorting the app icons out, mind.
If not for having a new iPhone around the corner, I might have picked up one of the current models. I got my Droid really cheap, so if I decide to switch I've lost nothing really. I really don't understand the rivalry either, it's a freaking phone. I sometimes think the haters fuel the fanbois to some extent, and people get so wrapped up in it that they won't budge even if they know they are wrong. As long as the user is happy I don't care if they have a string between two tin cans.Quote:

I have a very cheap Samsung cell phone. I don't really need a sophisticated one, because I only use a cell phone to make/receive calls, send/recieve messages and the alarm clock in the morning.
Yeah but... you had a Dell Streak. A toy calculator would have been an improvement :pQuote:

Yeah can do the same thing on the iPhone, works pretty well :)
WWDC keynote tonight i.e. where Apple announce stuff. Traditionally they've announced the new iPhone here, but last year they didn't and it's not expected they will this year either. Expect to see iOS 6 and a new range of iMac's.
It's pretty stuff helpful on the road, In a previous job I used to get a VPN connection through my Nokia with the laptop's and phone's bluetooth. Now when lot of phones have w-lan capabilities software like Joikuspot are a great way if one needs to connect more devices in one internet access.Quote:
