iPhone - 2 days

[Charles Foster Kane]

I can already surf via HSDPA on my current phone. OSX I don't need. Next.

Anyone with a GPRS/UMTS/3G/iMode whatever data connection can, but not as conveniently as with the iPhone, and with a contract which pretty much allows you unlimited bandwidth (as long as you don't take heinous liberties).

So who has better designed products than Apple, at a more competitive price? The only people I can think of are Bang and Olufsen whose products are very expensive. Oh, and their MP3 player was a travesty. Sony are second place, but still behind.

You are Steve Jobs and I claim my 5 cheap...I mean overrpiced gadgets.

Who have you been speaking to?!

I wanted one until I looked at the wifi coverage for my area... 0 then I looked at O2's handy future coverage map... 0 again, no doubt some spotty chinned teenager from the carphone warehouse will still try and convince me they're great.

From the same guy who hates mac's linky I don't totaly agree but its quite funny anyway.

Sure. Fill yer boots. I left O2 a year ago because their data tariffs were obscene. But we're talking about the network now. I use T-Mobile and can use my phone as a modem for my laptop, whether by wifi, bluetooth or USB. For this alone I have to rule the iPhone out.

Convenience? Doubt it - it's still a pissy little screen and doesn't even have a keyboard. But don't let me stop you.

I introduced you to Maddox's page you swine! Yeah, that is a funy article, I was going to link it. Although America get a crap deal on bandwidth allowance etc. on the iPhone so it makes less sense for them.

The fact you appear to have decided I am some sort of surfer dude.

Your avatar pictures you on a beach, does it not? Oh, and you appear to have ridden the waves though an oil slick - Washing up liquid should do the trick.

It sounds like you buy a product based on how pretty it is rather than functionality for the cost.

Pimp my Ipod!

Ahh, I see. That is in fact a sentient being called Arm... In fact forget it. Yes, yes that was me surfing in oil. Thanks for the tip.

Sounds like you buy your TV's from Alba and your MP3 players from Goodmans.
