They cost too much, don't do enough, too locked down. I can't remember too much more - I've never been impressed with the iPhone, but all the discussion about it was many months ago.

What about it makes you want one?

My mate was over from the States and he had one and I was quite impressed with it.   Really smart looking piece of kit.

I read a bit about it today somewhere online (will look), and basically saying better to wait until the new gen comes out, as it works on wi-fi only and 2G, and the newer versions will be better..

Save ur money !!

A 2G phone, when other phones have 3G.

2 Megapixel camera, when others have up to 5.

You can only connect via O2's Edge network which covers 30% of the country.

At £270 plus £35 a month it's not worth the money.

Which is one of the primary reasons for the success of the whole of the "ipod" range, none of them have the best or the cheapest or the most reliable technology - but they look good, so people buy them.

I never actually realised how much 3G is a battery drain on phones. I was using it to do live updates on my progress in the APAT event last weekend and yet it killed my full battery after only a few hours - and that was only refreshing a web page every now and then.

It's simply a triumph of Marketing Hype over reality & common-sene. Every single comms technical journal - without exception - has slated it unequivically. But a friend of mine is going to queue up at 6.02pm this evening to get one - that's how cute the Spin & Hype is! The cool dudes have one, so we must all have one. Clever stuff, this Hype business.

Which is why Tikay will not be buying one and will stick with his current model.
