I like the way texts appear "conversationally" on the iPhone. You don't need to jump from sent messages to inbox to see what has been said. Although I'm 38 so maybe shouldn't be sending texts.
I also like how certain websites have apps other than mobile sites.
Battery life is a bugger though. Nothing that a (for me) £7 car charger couldn't sort out.
if you waxed lyrical about a car, or an inbred, or a toaster? Think about it.
plenty of people do this. it's what internet forums are for, reasserting your choice through sharing the experience.
(it's what makes them tedious too)

Or just being contrary
Ooops sorry 🙂 IGMC
I accept that it wasn't for you. You have simpler/different needs and that is fine.
I just object to people telling me that I'm just a fashion victim, that I've wasted my money on a toy or that I only got it some kind of status willy waver.
To me it's just a very useful device that gets used heavily.
you've warbled on about a 'phone, ffs
on a thread where the OP has specifically asked about an iPhone.
Is that worse than showing up on such a thread to warble on and insult folk who own one?
See, I've got no problem with the iphone, just the evangelising that seems to go with ownership.
I don't see any evangelising here. I see someone asking about a phone, someone popping up like a Harry Enfield character to criticise iPhone owners, and said owners responding with real-world examples of how their iPhone was useful.
I am a bit concerned that I find myself picking up my Iphone and checking it every couple of minutes. Seems a bit obsessive.
And a lot of Iphone users do come across as being evangelical about it. Me included. I was showing a mate something on it and told me to "calm down, you only bought the thing. You didn't invent it"
It's the 'if it's not built into the iphone then why on earth would you need it' bollox that gets really tedious. Then when it's built into the new version it's suddenly indespensible!
its a communication tool that makes you less likely to communicate with people around you
or indeed look up from your hunched over position finger poised in tapping position and see the world,
It's the 'if it's not built into the iphone then why on earth would you need it' bollox that gets really tedious.
No, what's really tedious is the "iPhone is fatally flawed because it doesn't multitask/support Flash/make toast" bollox.
It doesn't make toast? 😯
How useless is that??
I have an iPhone 3G. If think it's effing superb. I use it a LOT, every day, and at home it's virtually replaced my PC for everything but photo editing and upload, and the odd thing I need to print out.
But you know what, I'm virtually embarrased to own one with all the slagging off it gets on here.
I think I may get something crapper like a Blackberry (I had to help someone set up a Blackberry to wireless internet on Sunday. Lordy, what a piece of rubbish that is. If it was mine it'd have gone whistling out the bloody window. Very poor indeed) so I can be in with the 'I'm so cool because I'm anti-iPhone cool' gang.
Or maybe I'll just get the next gen iPhone in the summer and carry on being very happy and pleased with it, and it's astonishingly easy to use features that make said Blackberry seem like a ZX81.

yeah why would you want toast, when you have the best thing since sliced bread 🙂
No, what's really tedious is the "iPhone is fatally flawed because it doesn't multitask/support Flash/make toast" bollox.
OK you get by fine without them.
If they were included though, would you ask for them to be removed?
If they were added for free and didn't affect the rest of the system then I wouldn't ask for them to be removed (though I'd still want to be able to turn Flash off).
Likewise if it could be updated to shit out golden eggs every day then that would also be good.
No one is saying it is perfect. 😀
I really like my iPod Touch - best handheld computer since the old Psion Revo. And also it's an iPod...
However, it seems that if I decided to get a version of the Touch that also makes phone calls, I will suddenly be a fashion victim. Is this solely because HTC owners are the telephonic equivalents of Skoda drivers in STW World?

Halfords riders is nearer the mark.
that surely means that htc is better everyone knows skoda is better than vw cars but snobs buy golfs?
and htc desire is better than ipod 3gs

That's the STW logic anyway... of course in the real world everyone gets a Golf.
