3G  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I have had a 3G phone for about 4 or 5 years now

I would get an Iphone, but apart from the niffty touch interface it is still way behind my Nokia N95 on lots of things

I pay £30 a month for 1000 texts, 300 mins to anyone (mobile or landline) £5 free downloads, 50 MMS, 50 video minutes,and unlimited internet.

can the iphone do video calling or video recording yet ?

I was amazed when i tried logging into my companies remote access on my N95 and found outlook webmail worked on it flawless

Suppose its all a matter of choice, but until Apple catches up with UK phones in new technology ( how old is 3G now) and things like near dvd quality video recording, 5m  camera etc etc etc then I really dont see the point for the price.

Im sure nokia will bring out a fully touchscreen phone soon and wipe the floor with apple

@ Wayne

If you have not already got one then thats fair enough, as I said its all personal choice.  But rushing out to buy a new one when you already got one, just cause its got 3G and a few little extras is nuts if you ask me.

We all know there will eb a new one, with a better a camera or some other upgrade in time for xmas

IF the GPS on the new iphone is anything like the Nokia GPS, then it wont replace a dedicated sat nav. Its more a handy tool is a pickle rather than something to rely on.

But the Iphone one might kick arse

Am I correct that genrally in America that you have to pay for the handset even on contract ?
