    The thing with the iPhone is that it offers a collection of much needed features in one place. It's touchscreen, so easy to use, has Wi-Fi to ease of connecting to the home network, and also quite happily copes with the DRM music from iTunes.

    For a typical media orientated consumer, it has all the features you'd want to be able to grab music and videos and play them on the move.

    Despite the shoddy contract, I really am tempted to make an iPhone my first smartphone.

    Insane that 250,000 handsets were sold in the UK, a quarter of the total sold worldwide. Don't these people know we're entering a recession?

    I really don't need one, but even I was suprised by the technolust experienced when looking at that particular bit of kit....

    Re: Headlines - Apple iPhone 3G selling like hotcakes

    I'm really struggling to believe 250k have been sold here. REALLY struggling. I suspect some twisting of statistics somewhere along the line.

    It offers little over the original iPhone for most (though they should have been included originally anyway), so I can't see all that many running out to upgrade, or are O2 offering a free or low-cost upgrade or something, in which case the numbers may make more sense? I mean come on... yes, GPS is nice and even necessary for some of us techies, but we're not the market the iPhone's aimed at.
