Im someone who doesnt appreciate paying a premium price for a plastic phone when it offers precious little else (that was what I was referring to with the 5% comment I made).

If a plastic phone happened to be considerable more functional then my gadget heart would win me over but thats not the case here. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that phrase is often spouted by those on the defensive about something they know, deep down is uglier as a last retort when all others are exhausted.

'yeah, she might look like a walrus but, you know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and besides I think that it is very attractive to have chest hair on a woman and she's great at doing house design" etc etc

Exactly, its a "bloody phone". It amuses me how worked up people get over phones. Making up derogatory little comments such as 'Apple fan boys' etc. Buy what you like and be happy about it. For me I appreciate things to look nice as well as doing a good job and as long as it works, thats it. Why exactly do Android users get their knickers in such a twist over iPhones?

We bought a few last week, $450 is good value I think. I cant see them going too much lower, perhaps $400 ish for a while but I see them into the $600s by Q2. Its not going to be a quick buck but maybe by the summer we will have made a few quid. Bit like BP, took quite a while to recover.

You confuse function with faster, your beloved Samdroid can do nothing that an Apple device can't and can be used in far fewer ways.

Nothing better apart from changeable battery, changeable storage, cheaper and being able to customise it how I want it, rather than being locked down to Apple's rules albeit jailbreaking, that kind of nothing?

Yes, that kind of nothing. I have never needed to change the battery and don't have to suffer a flimsy plastic cover nor the expense and inconvenience of carrying one. Same with Storage, my Nokia has the same small card that came with it, plus a door that doesn't fit properly any more even though it's never been used. My iPhone's battery lasts longer than I need even after 18 months, can be replaced in minutes should I choose and has 64gb built in, more than enough for all my media, must be fun having to fish out a Micro SD card when you want to play Angry Birds or change your ringtone back to the Crazy Frog to match your animated desktop picture.

It's called 'choice' Jack.

Something that many iPhone users are now waking up to and trying other brands.

That's right, lots of Samdroid users are waking up realising they've made the wrong choice. Very flash when you first buy it, then your choice dulls rather quickly.

Poor, very poor Jack.

You can see that you didn't put an ounce of effort into that post.
If you are going to fish, you must load your hook far more substantially.

I at least matched the maggot you put on the hook, and my response was unique, I've heard yours for the last 5 years, still not true.

I don't see why you keep harping on about plastic cases. How is that of any real benefit since everyone puts their iPhones in cheap flimsy plastic covers anyway.

Nor have I its for when I am out and about for days and don't have anywhere to charge quickly, having a 2nd battery is a godsend and the plastic back cover is not flimsy at all. I even have a spare one for special occasions its so simple to change.

64gb pah! I've not needed to change my SD card yet as its also 64gb. SD cards are so cheap I bought 2 just for the hell of it, so effectively I have 144gb storage including the phones internal 16gb, or 80gb keeping with one SD card. Again better than the isheep tool. Other puerile crap ignored

Internal 16GB?? LOL, how much did that phone cost?? What a joke. Out and about for days without access to power, Ray Mears wannabe?

You can't fool me, deep down you know you went cheap, you'll be telling me a Hyundai is as good as a Subaru next.

No the point is if you need to change your battery and it's in warranty why would you do it yourself, I'll tell you why, because you bought Samsung and after sales service wasn't part of the deal, that costs money and you went cheap.

80gb in total jack the sd card was only £40, phone was free. And don't even think about saying that performance is poor to a class 10+ sd card

Because it only takes a few seconds? why would I need a spotty geek **** to do it for me in a shop, unless I had no thumbs or was retarded, ah yes the Apple demographic, I see why the after sales is so important to you now.

Maybe because you think its the best thing since sliced bread because it looks nice but doesn't actually work as a phone? Blinkered I think is the word

"Doesn't work as a phone" that puts you right on the idiot stool, pointy hat with a D on it usually but you get a capital C on yours. Ignoramus.

Jack, stop acting like a complete ***** will you ffs, all you seem to spew nowerdays is total BS (and yes it is total BS), once there use to be a nice helpful Jack who use to give good advice on computer security, now there is a labotomised one intent of giving the world all things "apple".

You really need to either grow up or get a life, or both (or get laid, the last one is really good )

I've made calls when the fabled Nokia 3110i couldn't get a signal.
