The Ultimate mobile phone - iPhone

New blackberry tour...come on, it might not be as sexy, but the Canadian economy needs some love too!

Just got the 16 gs iphone.

Now I am totally hopeless with anything technical but the iphone is a great tool. Especially for business people on the road.

Only down side was that it turned up with no instructions or i-tunes cable.

Spent 6 hours having panic attacks trying to get it to work. . . . the camera and video are brilliant and a an eye opener for a techno phobe like me.

My main concern is that I am going to smash it as I constantly dropped all my old mobiles. . . .

Get yourself a case for it. I have one that clips onto the back and has a plastic screen to protect your screen.

you'd hardly notice there's a cover on it, but i've dropped it a few times now and its fine.

Now I have worked my funds and can afford the 8GB Iphone 3G is it worth the £34.46 a month? (roughly what I spend now)

Pay the £80-odd up front and get the 16gb 3GS for £35 a month (24 month contract)... don't see the point in buying the old phone now

lol if only I had that money to burn lol - Is it true that it is possible to download the S setttings?

Spoken to 02 and been advised of the following

The 8GB i Phone 3g is in no means a lesser phone it is still fast etc the main differences being the 3GS is twice as fast but the 3Gis very fast already. - Good

The 3GS has voice recognition and a 3MP camera with recording capabilities the 3G does not have this but if you own a digitalcamera do you need a good camera on your phone? True and i do have one

And do you use voice recognition already? No

So I will by the 8GB 3G IPhone

No point i'll be paying an extra £10 pm which with how tight my funds are just isn't cost effective (if i could afford it i'd already have it!)

But that's why i have a high quality digital camera! don't tempt me please!

I have 16GB 3G.

Just download the software update so you get the 3GS operating system. If you can live without video and voice recognition then you won't have any problems. Personally, have no desire to have either of those functions.

One thing to check out is the 3g reception in your area. SE18 is perfect, but it can be weak in some areas.

Don't know if you saw my Bray pictures, but they were all taken on the supposedly rubbish 2mp camera. Personally I think the camera is better than the 5mp on my old n95.

Also, I'd been an O2 customer for years when I got mine, that meant my sim wasn't 3g compatible - O2 upgrade them for free if you have this problem.

I'm loving being able to take video footage , really useful and very good quality

Ditto, especially with the little man doing stuff on the spur of the moment.

The compass is a useful addition too - makes the GPS far more usuable IMO

la di fooking da! I'll get the 8GB

Have they finally managed to get Bluetooth on this phone yet :-)

Cheers Clem

Ketman are you being serious it doesn't have Bluetooth? ha ha ha who cares!

phew....
