Should be enough. |
Nice constructive comparison.
Does Nokia 5800 have a "keyboard" or number external pad btw?
I mean, i'm pretty sure there's the screen one but just asking.

It comes with The old basic one with the T9(also ofcourse without it), The fancy QWERTY-keyboard, and also a handwriting recognitioner. For example you write an H, a H will pop up in your sms.
It also uses the basic tilt & flip sensors like the iphone.

I'm on that contract, thinking of going down for a cheaper one as I dont use my minutes or texts. However it is brilliant. I would highly recommend it.

I have an iTouch and a Palm Treo. I don't recommend the Treo or iPhone. 56/month is nonsense.
You could get FiOS internet from Verizon for 44/month on your home computer.

That seems to be the cheapest contract type for the iphone right now.
Although my friend managed to get a £10 discount per month from her "friend" working at o2 so she only pays £25 a month. I have asked her to get me the same deal but ......no

I wont get the iTouch because then that means carrying around two phones, well basically two phones I know one isn't but you get what I'm saying so the iTouch is out of the race.
I think I will probably end up getting the contract just because there is no cheaper alternative (contract wise) for the iPhone.
Thanks for all the suggestions and replies.

On my LG i have all of those too, plus the pad.
It's unlocked (with contract?) price is 250€ (about 300 USDs).
It's only got 2gb but that's enough for me.
Got it for 1€ with a 13,75€/month contract for 45mins of call per month, which suits me since i dont call much, and each text costs 0.10€ (what i use so it takes that off the 45 mins).
Get something that suits your needs and you'll be fine :3

You cannot say that iphone sucks if you have never used one and no, playing around with one for a couple minutes doesn't do it. True it may be a bit more expensive than other phones but it's revolutionary. You can do about a thousand times more stuff on the iphone than a regular phone. |
The iPhone can do what most other phones can't and that is
1. Apple users are idiots they don't know the difference between left and right.
2. It makes them felt they're superior than others (I like to wear very tight black clothing, hang out at StarBucks and drink black coffee even though it taste like witchpiss*.)
3. Brainwashed by Jobs, thinking it's worth to pay extra $500 just for a fruit as their logo. (My phone has a apple logo and I'm cooolll!!111!11)
The iPhone can do what most other non-smarts phone can't, but one thing the iPhone can't do while 99.9% of other phones can (even el cheapo ones) is video recording!
The iPhone cannot record videos only take photos. Yeah the iPhone is "indeed" a phone with many functionalities...

Its also on top of most expensive phones. With 800usd you can get a decent computer.

Agreed. Like I said before, just buy an iTouch and a cheap phone. Cheaper, more efficient, and two separate batteries (one for calling, one for multimedia).
