    I usually only use the phone bit of mine about once a week, to call my mum. If the phone bit stopped working, but the rest of it was OK, I'd probably just dig my old Nokia out of the cupboard once a week instead, while continuing to carry my handheld computer everywhere.
    LOL! The number of people working through one man limited's who think because 'the company' pays for 'it' (when incidentally, 'it' is marketed as a phone not a computer btw) so, they arent is truely amazing!
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

      I'd say most people doing that are well aware that they are only saving 20% of the price by putting it through their company.

        er, closer to 40% ? 20% VAT and 20% CT.

          I've had every single model of iPhone from the 3G and never used a case, nor screen protectors. Not one of the phones I've had has had a broken screen or even a scratch on it apart from the case on the plastic backed 3G & 3GS. From the 4 onwards, I've found them all to be pretty tough. I even dropped a 4 from about 4ft onto my tiled kitchen floor... It landed face down and survived without a mark on it, so they're not that fragile.

          Maybe you should've bought one too, then it would've automatically corrected your spelling & punctuation mistakes

            Depends how much you want to spend.

            I'd consider sticking with it and goi g sim free though.

            Cheap phone.. If youre not to fussed about apps and just want mail (excellent) phone, SMS and a web browser then windows phones are cheap and decent...

            * They do of course do more than I've listed above.

              Im some what stuck in the Apple Iphone loop, right from the days of the 3G, with ipads, apple TV et All its makes it difficult to pull out, double jeopardy is the Apps I have most valuble my navigation software which I purchased and regularly updates itself and POI`s.
              just been talking with colleagues this afternoon does anyone understand why places like CEX and GAME are punting out second hand iphones at prices that are just short of new, beyond believable why people would pay it.

                Ah bless. Dont you just love supercilious nobs who have nothing better to do than think a bulletin board is an exercise in grammar?

                And you tried ever so hard not to make a grammatical error yourself, didnt you?

                      Your comments are like, what was it healy said about howe, something about like being savaged by a dead sheep?

                      I can see why you use whippy as your name. You must spend hours whipping yourself to orgasm. Enjoy.
