    They go for more than that, the old 2G model still fetches £150+.

    Apple can afford to charge these kind of prices because it is still the best touch screen phone out there in terms of responsiveness and design. Until phone manufacturers release better competition (hopefully by end of this year) The price will always be kept artificially high.

    Are you referring to the Samsung 8910i? If so, i have to admit that i have yet to try it out but the sheer size of it.... Not going to appeal to mass market which is needed to knock iphone off its pedestal.

    yeah the very one, my friend has got one and yes its slightly big, but its also very thin. he has got 2 phones atm.

    omnia and N82

    surpriseingly omnia sits in your pocket much much more coumftably than the n82.....dont look at the specs off it and make a choice go in to the shop and have a look at it

    Sounds like someone hates apple!

    For me the iPhone is most suitable. I hate winmo phones, having had at least 3 of the things. They were the best at the time but I never really got on with them. I have lived without cut and paste on my iPhone for over a year and have never sent an MMS in my life!

    However, I would never want one for work, a physical QWERTY keyboard blackberry is best for that!

    So, Georgy, its horses for courses and your blanket opinion does not suit everyone. In that direction lies fayboyism, or even hateboyism!

    Still, I won't be upgrading to to a 3GS, no point in my view!

    Ps, to put into context, I use windows on my desktop, linux on my net-top, an iphone 3g and a blackberry!
    Not around too often!

    Bloody hell that is such a rip-off, my O2 contract gives me hundreds of minutes & texts, practically unlimited data and Nokia PC Suite allows me to use my free N78 as a modem via USB or Bluetooth for big fat £0... all this, plus insurance, costs me £40 a month.

    This iPhone really is for people with more money than sense eh...
