Default To iPhone or not iPhone?

So here's the scenario:

Your contract is with O2 and you're due an upgrade - tomorrow

For your same tarrif you can have an 8 GB iPhone with similar texts and minutes + unlimited data/internet

Do you:

A: get an iPhone
B: Get something else

and why?

poll incoming

Yes - if you can afford the tariff and get chances to recharge at least once per day.

Best phone on the market by a long way but battery power is the one of the worst on the market by a long way.

Best mobile surfing platform ever. Unless you like flash bit and bobs.

Downloadable apps are the coolest thing about it though.

Try the keyboard first. If you don't find yourself wanting to cut your fingers off in frustration then buy it...

I don't understand why it doesn't come with a stylus - would a stylus work with it?

I have spares for my XDA (purchased from ebay) as I'm quite good at losing them..

How do you work that one out. What does it do that any any number of other phones can't?

It's an Emperor's new clothes device that's what it is.
