Hence Apple designed a fail safe system so you can't use it as Apple recognise vans are white and driven by people that read the sun and go too fast there road safety issue.
The proof was with jermany clarkson on top gear when the astra van beat a Lamborghini
Jack will be along soon to discuss the 20% battery safety feature

pretty poor, makes you wonder about apples qa/testing department (sounds like 1 person) with the other flaws as well. Its not as though they have a lot of different products in the marketplace. Good job they don't really.

Ford stereo's need an update, Ford will tell you that. Apple offer man who "kicks off" in store a new iPhone and still Apple are bad guys, come on, get real.

So you should, the S2 is a great - big - phone. But it doesn't work with my Alpine stereo so it must be ****. I should go into the Samsung shop and kick off.

The problem is, even with these problems, people will still continue to spend a lot of money on something that has more flaws than something cheaper from the competition.
It's like buying a D&G coat that has poor stitching which then falls apart after a year or so. But because that person loves D&G gear, they will go back and buy more.
It is a fashion phone with a fashion price tag, nothing more.
And the whole argument that Android software phones are outselling IOS iPhones only because you can get an Android phone for £50, is just laughable.
Listen to yourself. A £50 phone that does a lot of what a £600 phone can do.......and you still buy the £600 phone!

If you are happy with an Android/Windows/iOS/Symbian/Blackberry based mobile then good for you, be happy with your choice - both Apple fans / Android fans should just get on with life; trolling on an forum is not exactly going to give meaning to your existence is it?
Or look at it this way find something more constructive to do with your time, and this applies to all fanboys of whichever breed of mobile OS you use.
These Apple Are Evil / Android Are Pants etc threads were semi interesting and a trivial diversion for a while but the more they carry on, the more I lose interest in using or owning either OS.

Proper comical on here. I was merely stating a point. Like been said it worked b4 update then didn't with iOS 5. So clearly apples fault.
Yes I'm happy I got a new phone but unhappy the fact phone bricked it n lost everything even itunes.
Everyone has opinions that's life. Can't all agree on everything
