Hey Mark! :)

You and I are on a different iPhone purchase cycle.
I didn't purchase the model you have waiting for the next one.
I have the previous model and it's been good for me.
The only bummer right now is the battery has gotten very week.- I have to charge the phone every day. Someone told me it was because I probably got it wet - and also your model came with a longer lasting battery.
I'm looking forward to this summer's iPhone launch and in the meantime my iPhone is dong its job.
:s mokin:

If and when the battery on my HTC starts to degrade, I can buy another for ~£20 (less if I want a Chinese knock-off) and fit it myself in less than a minute. I understand you can't do that on an iPhone :crazy:

I suppose it depends on how old the phone is and your own tendancy to keep to up with new technology. My iphone is over 2 years old now but is still going strong. I did think I'd broken it last year but it just turned out that I'd broken all my chargers at the same time. :s If the battery were to go weak (and under the assumption that I could replace the battery) I would still be more likely to just get a new phone rather than start replacing bits even if it doesn't cost that much. :)

I see the alarm clock problem has reared its ugly head yet again:

Which is why I have a cheap wristwatch which I use as my alarm, goes off every morning without fail and isn't dependent on the whims of my phone deciding not to work or not charge or whatever. And that's something I apply to all phones I've had, not just my iPhone.

My Samsung Omnia 7 also has this functionality, it's magical :p

I really do enjoy the endless smuggery from Dave and Daniel when it comes to Apple :rolleyes:
