Are iphones really the best?

[Danielle]

Oh and I can hold my phone how I choose not as apple tell me without sticky some crummy bit of rubber onto it :-)

Iphone, is now old technology, just keep putting a new case on it, and all the iphone lovery go crazy thinking they are getting something different. Androids technology is moving forward in leaps and bounds, where the iphone is stuck with the old engine, but just has a new look for street cred now and again. Iphone and old symbians dont even reach the bar in the new world of phones.

Yes, I can see the folders, but it is not possible to write any files, eg wordprocessor or spreadsheet files to them as they are not writable.I read somewhere that you can make the file a jpeg and save that to it using some apple softrware, I really can't be bothered messing around like that. It should be a simple process, drag and drop using windows exporer etc.


As for not answering the phone, a very simple 'reject call" button, like normal phones have, is all I want.


With the rubbery case round it, its too akward to press the side button anyway! It does keep the phone nice and dry though.

Just hit the on/off button on the top of the Iphone to stop it ringing.

As for how good the Iphone is. I only got it because it was free, I wouldn't have paid for it as I don't like all the hype that goes with it. Having said that the user interface is very good.
I have used the HTC Desire for a short period and my initial impression is that it looks and feels a better phone as compared to the Iphone 3 that I have. Don't know how it shapes up to the Iphone 4 though.
Just to add the Desire upgrade, the Ace, should be out soon.

really its a matter of personal taste... ive tried lots of different fones and i have to say i did like the android os. i had a dell streak for 3 months recently.
but i found it limited compared to the apple os.
one of the main reasons i switched back to an iphone was i had paid for a few apps and wanted to use them as they were paid for.
but after getting the iphone back i realised i like it more then the dell streak.

anyway like i say its personal preference everyone is different thats what makes each and every one of us unique!

I much prefer the iPhone hardware and interface to the clunky keyboard and small screen that the Blackberry had. But there are some things that become slightly annoying about the Apple software. For example, it won't let me use it as a mobile hard drive also it refuses to let me view any Adobe Flash content.

flash has been sorted?

HTC Desire, 12 months contract, apple wanted 24 months.
