any ideas on the i phone

my phone contracts up for renewal and my phones just about had it 3 years old k800i not a bad phone overall done me well dropped in water down stairs thrown all sorts of abuse. Was looking at the i phone but seen mixed reviews any one got one and how well does it proform.

iv heard good tings about them and look cool only not sure how much a the rough treatement they'l take

The iphone is a gadget first, phone second. There have been a few phones out that have been compared to the iPhone and had better reviews (such as the HDC Touch HD, or the LG Viewety), but it's horses for courses.

I know people that have them and they are rock solid, however you are very limited to the types of application you can run on there (i.e. you pretty much have to download them from apple, and pay for the privilege)

its between 4 phones at the mo
n95 8gb
samsung tocco
i phone
blackberry 8900

Personally, I would go for the Nokia N95 8Gb, as it's got the best aerial of a mobile at the moment, a very decent camera on it, very responsive and rock solid - but that's just me

I found even more stuff my orbit 2 can do today

chuffed to bits with it Memory Map and free copilot 7, though it only comes with a 1gb card but I got an 8gb for £8 delivered

i do like the n95 had one before it it was stolen with the freelander. never thought about the orbit how you found the camera on it ste

just looked at the orbit 2 nice looking phone

This is one of the best in depth independent reviews Ive come across.

if you are thinking about the n95 8gb, STOP the n96 is out and you can have 16gb on it and its superb, but wait there is more, the n97 is on its way,

n97, looks good,

you takin the p Andy :lol:

i have the n95, and love it to pieces, and it's not even the 8gb one. The camera is superb, unlike on the i phone, which only has a 2mb or so camera. I thought i would just note onto the n96 when it arrived, but having seen one in the flesh so to speak, i was very disapointed, it's like a shiny plastic brick :-(

i just ordered the lg renoir, looks nice, but will have to be good to replace my n95, which, i an currently typing this post on, as i am on the way back from scotland, not driving i hasten to add! So if it's all in one long line of typing then i'm sorry

My mate has the I Phone, with it you cant forward texts you have been sent or if someone sends you a picture you have to go online to view it...
So in my view its more of a gadget than a phone!!!
Only my view though, Myself I would go for the nokia anyday!!!

iphone cr-p how do i know cos i got one :oops:

If you go for the Nokia N95/96, it has built in gps and can then be used with the Viewranger mapping software which is also very good. You can then get the most out of your investment as its a laning gps,phone& decent camera :wink:

I have the original 2G Iphone and it's great. It is hacked and on Vodaphone, and is great to use to surf and get email on the go.

The 3G ones do have a shorter battery life.

I did drop it while I was overseas and although there was no visible damage, it did need a new touchscreen at a cost of £156.

I would n't be with out it.
