iPhone is not that hot. Don't be a sheep - get an Android or Windows one. Unless you are a complete mac addict I really don't see the point. I was half interested until realised you can't even hold a separate battery for them as they are enclosed units. Bag o' tulipe.

I haven't taken up the option yet of changing to an iPhone, was just waiting for a post such as this. I'll wait a bit longer I think.

Just use it as intended - to stroke and show people whilst subliminally telling them you have a small willy!

Orange iPhone - what would you do?
So I finally took the plunge and got an Orange iPhone, being an existing Orange customer I guess I took the easy option rather than change networks.
Now my Orange signal here at home office has never been marvellous, but with the iPhone it's practically vanished to nothing, rendering it useless for making phone calls, text messages, etc. O2 and T-M are the best networks for normal phone coverage round these 'ere parts. My old Nokia used to work ok, well enough to be adequately usable.
Away from home, I'm sure it'll be fine what with Orange's fantastic network
Before NorthernLad admonishes me for asking a total bunch of strangers to make this decision for me, would you,
(a) Send it back, get out of the contract, and revert to my old Nokia. Then,
(i) Flip networks to O2, get their iPhone
(ii) Wait until Orange and T-Mobile merge and try again
(b) Put the iPhone on call-divert to my landline, and wait it out in hope that the Orange-TM merger happens sooner rather than later. Then
(i) rejoice in the superb combined coverage, or,
(ii) lament that things aren't improved and my 28-day return window is long gone.
(c) Stick the SIM back in my old Nokia when at home, and put it in the iPhone when out-and-about or trying to impress folks with my ability to Google useless bits of info at the pub / cheat at the quiz (using WiFi). Then options as per (b) after the merger.
(d) Your own suggestion
I can't decide! Well, I suppose I can, but I could use some reassurance that I'm doing the right thing!
