Bought an iphone
And then sold it. For FOUR fucking times the price I bought it for.

Used the money to buy an actual phone - you know - one from 2009, not 1999, and one that actually does stuff without wanting to cut it in half with fucking pliers.

Now Coke is a happy bunny again.

Honestly, worst fucking phone ever made. Dont get me started.

I dont understand
How did you manage to make a x4 profit on your iphone?
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 27 Jan 2009, 11:44, closed)

it cost me
£99
It sold on ebay for £398 (just before they released the prepay one).

I kept the contract and moved the sim to another phone, works fine.

They still go for £300+ now.

Whether or not it does
the iPhone doesn't have MMS or ANY bluetooth profile except the headset / handsfree ones (not even A2DP!).

It has a crap camera.

It can't cut-and-paste.

It wasn't 3G- which coke's one may or may not have been (doesn't say). Which, given that my last 2 phones have been HSDPA, is pitiful for an "advanced" phone.

It is, however, reputed to have a very nice interface. Though this is more of a gimmick as you can't use the multitouch stuff without being incredibly dextrous or laying it down on a table/holding it in another hand.

Like he said, if this was 1999 it would have been a fantastic mobile. Even up to the mid 2000s it would have been good. But it was [far] too little too late.

It's got a good interface.
It has a decent web browser, the App store is pretty good, e-mail is decent and music and video are fine.

In short, it's a great mobile internet/multimedia tablet, but it's way too under developed as a phone.

Plus it uses iTunes, which is just a big NO. Buy an iPod Touch and an adult phone instead.

sort of
safari is dogshit. 30+ crashes A DAY. Reloads pages all the fucking time. Crashes a lot.

Ipod functions fine. Itunes is the root of all evil

No radio. No profiles. No profiles!!!! Its slow. The SMS app takes 30s to load (even with no messages).

Email is OK. interface is poor. Can do a lot with it though. File formats are weak. Not everything rotates - with no apparent reason why not. Some emails i cant actually read on the screen.

The GUI is lovely. Cheryl Cole is lovely but i suspect thats about it. The GUI i got bored wiht a few days in.

The appstore? Bullshit. Full of dogshit. 3 apps maybe worthwhile. The rest I have tried and deleted within seconds. Its a childrens phone.

iPhone = fail
Selling iPhone to a moron for profit = win

'nuff said.

I have an iPod Touch 32GB + a Nokia N82.
The N82 has software to turn it into a wireless hotspot, so the iPod Touch can get online whereever I am.

= All round WIN

I would like to point out I do not have an iPhone
I "borrowed" (read: nicked my dads while he was out of the country) one for a week, and after using that, I do concur with some of your points. Hence why I bought the Touch.

The only thing I'd disagree with is the App store. While most of the programs are utter shite, there are some fun games that while away the odd bus journey when I've forgotten a book.

So wat phone should I go and buy now?

My golden rule
that I broke for the Iphone, is Nokia. Only ever buy Nokia. Never had a problem with them
( I have run out of coke is a little sweaty, Tue 27 Jan 2009, 13:37, closed)

yup
i agree.

Although i did have a problem with my Nokia 6500 classic (great phone) a few months back.

Went online - it told me to go to a nokia shop. They fixed it in 2hrs for free.

Great!

Indeed
Or Sony Ericsson.

Nokia, and Sony Ericsson. No other company that makes mobile phones matters. A simple and effective rule.

If you're looking for features
go for an HTC-made device.

The cameras are normally utter crap (though better than the iPhone) and they're not always 100% reliable.

But when they work they'll do everything you want and more.
And yes, in my flat it WILL make me a coffee, wash the dishes and cook my dinner.

NOT an 'LG Secret' under any circumstances
They look great, but unless you don't mind continually hanging up on people/putting them on hold with your chin due to the nifty touch screen, then really, AVOID.

mmmmm iphone
I love my iphone. It is like lassie, constantly coming to the rescue.

The other day it told me I could still get the train home and how long I had to do it, and where I needed to change (Myraillite). I would have missed 24 so I got my iphone to send a message to my SKY+ box to record it (TV Plus).
Then I watched "The Wrestler" on it, downloaded from OVGuide and converted to Iphone movie format. Its the best.

I
also like my iPhone, does what I need it to do, although the camera is a bit of a disappointment, but that;s why I have a digital camera instead...
