So who here has a cell phone? What type is it? I'm currently trying to get rid of my nokia e72 cause its crap. Has more bugs then a bug farm..? Bugs include Web pages crashing the phone Web pages not loading My phone always wanting to call 112 (which transfers to my version of 911, 000.) So I'm trying to think of what phone I should get. I'm looking at a iPhone 4 16gig Just for fun here are the retail prices here for Apple iPhone 4 16GB is $878, Apple iPhone 4 32GB is $1029. iPhone is really so I can get the fancy version of Secret of Mana and a few other games that seem to be isomething exclusive. iPod touch 8gig are 240$, 64gig is 440$. So even them are expensive.

WOW!! Your price comparisons make me crazy... I can't imagine why they are so overpriced!
I have an older model iPhone. I love it, it works very well and I can definitely recommend it! I'm looking to upgrade to an iPhone4 or the inevitable next model pretty soon

Well I know have a iPhone 4 16g Man arguing over a buyout price for my nokia e72 was difficult. I was just about to hang up I played the final card and ended up with a 200$ discount. So chances are they were playing with me. They knew what I was after and I thought they were serious that I was unable to get the price down. The 200$ discount made the price 208$ which is exactly where I wanted the number. Well 204$ was the goal but hey close enough. Other then the bus driver yelled at me I had a fun day. I was yelled at when I said I was unable to buy a go card. He said well you should have tried the newsagent or the train station. I said I tried both the train station was closed due to a upgrade which made the newsagent sell out as they were getting more people buying them their. He grumbled. Weirdly though he was the bus driver I had when I was 16 now I'm nearly 25 lol.

Nice man! Congrats! The iPhone is definitely a good phone. Once you're used to the whole interface it's very intuitive. I'm looking to upgrade mine to the 4 soon too...

I have a Samsung Captivate. It would actually be a nice phone if it didn't want to freeze up a lot and have the bluetooth not work. The best part about it is that I can play all of my ROMs on it. It's a great phone when it works right haha
Congrats on getting an iPhone 4. I had a 3g that I upgraded to the Captivate for. I like the Android OS and the phone has potential, but they need to work out some bugs with it. I'll probably go with an HTC next time.

I have a g2 from htc. Imo android trumps iphone due to the platform not being a dictatorship where you must do everything through itunes unless jail broke. And memory expansion slot, full flash 10.2 support amongst other goodies.

HTC range is very limited here. My provider only has HTC Aria and incredible S.
All providers fight over the exclusive rights to HTC phones normally the bad performer or the most expensive provider ends up with them.
If it wasn't for secret of mana being isomethings only I would have gotten something else. Since I was going to buy a Ipod touch for 240$ on paper I ended up with 12 months free so went with a iPhone. Old plan was 39$ a month which covered most phones they have now I pay 59$ a month. More data and that though.
Not sure who is lying but my Iphone reports a max of 3 bars in my house were as the Nokia reports full bars. Going on what the nokia says when I hit black spots Says I have full bars but no data movement. Its the Nokia telling me fibs.
Other then I didn't want to if I had someones cell number I could have messaged them for free during marathons. But I disabled the access on sign up. Most likely be a week before you got it anyway lol.

One thing I'm not sure about with the iPhone is the battery life. Every 2 days I seem to have to charge it. For only playing and testing apps the battery does seem to drain really quickly even in standby.

That's surprisingly good to me, new smartphone batteries die within a day usually.

So I got my bill a hour ago. What the cookies. I was told they would cancel my nokia e72 when the billing month ended. Bill doesn't have the cancel fee of 200$ on it. The phone is still connected too. I sent them a message on twitter but so far no reply. Looks like this will end up at the complaints thing. *sigh*
