I think the best phone you can get is the BlackBerry Curve like I have, mainly because I dont pay the bill and nobody cribs when its expensive ! hence why I wont be changing hpnes anytime soon, I have to live vicariously through those who have a choice.

no one can argue about the selling power of apple or ease of use. Problem with the tech is its limited to what it will do (deliberatly by apple) and you pay a premium cos its a fasion item.
problem is its more about fasion than function. If the iphone was the 'in' gadget it would get no where.
for me i will never get an apple product, except in exceptional circumstances, i don't the restrictipons put on them and i find them way ott costs wise

Limitations, what limitations, if you mean applications are screened so we don't get hit by phone number spamming and 'who knows what' malicious software, then yes but that's a limitation Android users will soon pay for via Malware scanning software... just like Windows.
If the iPhone is just an "in" gadget, then why is every new phone a clone of it? Fact is it showed the way and others are still trying to follow.
In terms of costs, it's the same price as it's closest competitors and applications are cheaper.
Anyhow, that's enough from me, it's nothing I haven't spouted on here before. Just winds me up when someone states that it's more a fashion accessory than the bleeding edge of technology.

Yeh the Desire does look a bit silly next to the iphone 4, it wasn't fair to put a fully working phone without any major issues next to the iphone 4.

Limitations, what limitations
Make it native to Windows without installing extra software and impove the battery life and I'd have one tomoorow. Inccindetly, battery life is also what puts me off a Android phone. Battery technology really need to play catch up, and manufacturer's lying about real world standby times doesn't help.
Someone put iTunes on one of our works computers so they could sync the contacts for email etc. FFS. Its a pentium III. How can that poor thing even think about running a resource hogging piece of software like that? And no replacing the computer because someone has an iPhone is not within our budget -its perfectly satisfactory for all other business needs. Although I'm considering changing over to Unbuntu to really screw things up

I use a 59p app on my iPhone which enables drag and drop file storage, I use it for quick transfer of files from other peoples machines and viewing of large movies, but it plays music, views pictures, documents, all of that really. I'm not saying it answers your issues but it works for many.
My contacts are not synced via iTunes, Exchange, Gmail and Mobile Me all make this simple.
I'm pretty sure Windows 7 has drivers for Apple devices.

It's funny how the HTC/Android fanboys have to have a dig at iphones and Apple so frequently on here. I don't see too many iphone owners starting threads slagging off the HTC and there's good reason for that, we know we own the best product and have no interest in the poor competition

BTW I think jc may have played a big part in this. The biggest Apple tart going.

Are the apple cracks starting to show?
And another bad day at the office
What Hi-Fi awards 2010
Iphone4 beaten as best multimedia device by the Samsung galaxy S
It was let down by its restrictive formats.
I bet that went down a storm at cupertino

No, Jack does that mainly and it winds people up a good'un. So many threads on here slating the iphone and quite frankly spouting boll0x about them that as an owner you feel compelled to reply and tell those numpties they are talking boll0x
