    100% of the adult male population are ****... Are you trying to say that the other 75% of iPhone users are women?

    Anyone who owns apple products and thinks Steve Jobs is some kind of godlike figure is a wanker full stop. 'Oh im so cool im sticking the finger to micro$oft by using apple, doesnt matter that its underpowered has a lack of software compatibility and doesnt play games cause IT DOESNT GET VIRUSES' :rolleyes:

    Daft buggers!
    I know and deal with the nicest of people (a lot of who are multi-millionaires) who don't bother rushing to upgrade to the latest fad.
    If someone is too superficial to see the real person and just judge them on what they have that's old by their laughable standard, they are the sort of people I'd (and I suspect, my friends) want to avoid anyway.

    Their loss!

    I've had other high end handsets but iPhone did best what I wanted it to do. This reminds me of the iPod hate about 3 years ago, yet most people have them now.

    Exactly right, tons of people will have them and we'll be rid of this reverse elitism. My mate called the iPhone "overrated" the other night but has never actually used one - how does that make a jot of sense :confused: I use it for calls, texts, email, facebook, twitter and using the web, haven't known anyone that bought one that didn't love it.

    ps. that poll is retarded, would love playing megadrive with a girl

    +1 Lots of people on Vodafone want to get one but due to irrational VodaFone fanboy loyalty are bitter that they can't get their hands on one, so until they are available in a few months they bitch about them, and will be queuing up for one on launch day.

    Oh and it's probably the only phone that is capable of surfing pron sites properly, unless the pron sites have mobile versions for the owners of Nokias.

    Way over priced, locked to a single operator and requires charging every single day ... wtf??


    I love the machine itself, in terms of its useability and the slickness of its design, I just cant get past those three things.

    In the new year when its freedom from its manufactured (manufacturer's) monopoly, and subsequently the price drops (anyone remember PS3's selling for 650... now they are 299) yeah... then I'll probably pick one up and live with the battery life.

    Oh, and liking or disliking someone you dont know because of the IT they use is like doing the same over their skin colour or nationality. Pretty retarded.

    The iPhone, when it was introduced by Jobs, was described as a great phone, a brilliant music player, and a fantastic internet/mobile computing device.

    It is two of those. The phone aint so good. I see it as a great device though.

    the only reason I dont have another phone ( and use an iPod Touch) is that I want one device only. O2 bugs me though.

    I like when I find a good garden fork. iPhone? Just couldn't be arsed anymore.

    A garden fork is a bit heavy to carry around though. And the reception's not great for making calls.

    I know it's not an iPhone, it's a Nokia 5800 :pac:

    Simple fact is feature wise they are very close while price wise there's a huge gap.

    to be honest, the 5800 is no where near an iphone. Nokia N97 or N97 mini would be closer to an iphone.

    Why? Look at the list of features. Very similar.

    Got one a few weeks ago and think its great. 200 squid for a phone, mp3 player, sat nav, mini net book is alright with me. And then 45 a month for for 175 mins, 350 texts (if you get eirtext) and plenty of 3G surfing allowance. I'm in now way an 'image' person, but I do like a good gadget and this is certainly one.
    re: battery life, when you take into account that your avg GPS or MP3 only lasts a couple of hours, 2 days is good!
