Regardless, I think the iphone/ipod touch platform has a lot of merit and a long way to run yet.
I've held off getting an iPhone as it doesn't have a keyboard (Crackberry all the way for me), but I got a Touch as soon as they came out as I like to watch movies & TV on the go. For that it's brilliant, and now that the application platform isn't that web-only tulip they came out with initially I've got nothing but praise for it.
I think the iPhone is a great platform, that seems to be suffering from o2's lack of investment in it's network.
And as for £40 a month for all you get on the iPhone tariff, that's a bargain - my blackberry tariff is over £50."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

You are bored with something if the point of the statement is your boredom.
Less commonly, your are bored by something if the point of the statement is the action it performs of making you bored.
All too commonly, you are bored of something if you can't be arsed to work out what it is that you are saying or what relation should use what preposition, so you just dumbly pick by comparison with other, quite different, phrases like "tired of".Comment

The Google G1 is my first touch screen phone I've had, but the full keyboard means that it's useable as well!!Comment
