right then, i hate mobile phones. Lets get that out of the way upfront, i dont have my own I only have a work one. Work have now banned text messages, photo's and internet however so it looks like i will have to get my own.

Two choices.

Something shit that takes photo's

Something fancy i can use the internet, watch footie on and take photo's.

Everyone at work says Iphones are shite so i thought i would ask you lot, anything i need to know? How much data allowance would i need to be able to watch footie on my phone? (I have skygo)

help me Obiwankenobenil (and the rest of you) you are my only hope

iPhones really, really aren't shite. The new 4S is easily the best product on the market, but it's damn expensive whether you buy it outright or get it on contract. Plus the 5 is imminent. Probably they meant the Blackberry is shite and that would be true. So somewhere in between is the Galaxy.

Orange 36 on the iPhone 4 (not 4S) isn't a bad deal. A free iPhone 4, 600 mins, 3000 texts and 500MB data for £36 per month.

For apps. Some people like to download around 2.5 million apps and then only ever use one of them. There's video too, the iPhone is shit hot at video and will do 720p on the 4 and full HD on the 4S - that eats up a chunk of memory.

WiFi is free, doesn't eat into the allowance and there are plenty of hotspots available now. Certainly beats reading copies of magazines from 2007 in the doctor's waiting room. In fact there's an app to diagnose your illness which saves you going in the first place. Plus the iPhone is pretty rugged so you can use it to bash your teeth out which saves on trips to the dentist too. You can't do that with a Blackberry.

Not much difference between the 4 and 4S, the latter has higher quality video, a new operating system by default (which you can update for free anyway) and voice control (which I bet doesn't work anyway). 4S a bit pointless unless you are into serious video.

I upgraded to a 4S a couple months back after using the 3GS for nearly 2 years, that was an awesome bit kit. Happy with my 4S so far, it's pricey but I guess iPhone users are bound to eat up a lot of data.

Depends what you want to do. If you want to browse one page web sites that only have one word on them, 750MB will be fine. If you want to watch video then 750MB will give you an irritating taster of what you are missing.

Just use WiFi. Do you really need to be plugged into the Internet when you are on a crowded train or taking a crap in a public toilet (there are much bigger issues that Internet connectivity when it comes to public toilets).

You want a good 600mins talk and 3000 texts (fairly standard) and forget about data unless you want a silly bill every month. WiFi is free and there are plenty of suckers who don't know how to secure their networks.

Apps - equivalent to computer programs/ software packages on a desktop. Often phone optimised versions of regular software certain websites, so there's an app you can download for the major newspapers, or BBC iPlayer, or games (like Angry Bird), or maps, GPS stuff.

Seriously though, your best bet is to read up on this on moneysavingexpert.com then go to Carphone Warehouse and get a few demos and let them know what sort of package you want. You'll get a much better idea if you can use the things before buying an iPhone4 and not a Nokia.

It's 'disgusting' not outrageous. Fucking NQ. Thinks he can prance in with his left-wing ways and change the GW stock catchphrases. How are the newbies going to be deterred without some consistency?

I also have an iPhone 3GS and it works fine. Going on a ridiculously low price Sim only contract soon. No new phone required til this one drops dead

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Galaxy Nexus Prime! Best phone on the market at the moment, even better than the iPhone... only phones on the radar to beat it are the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3 sometime later in the year.

Also comes as a vanilla build, so no network operator (or phone manufacturer bollocks installed... and no waiting for system updates etc)

If you can't think big and stretch yourself beyond your limits then I guess you just aren't the sort of person who will ever hit the heights of mobile phone ownership. Not that there's anything wrong with a smaller, less ambitious life based around a Samsung. If we were all leaders there would be no followers. So don't feel too bad about what you have done.

The only thing i didn't like mate was that its huge! Didn't realise quite how big the thing was.

Also the Nokia is the newest by quite a bit which gives it longevity and after reading all the specs and comparing the things and reading reviews the Nokia does seem the best. Plus Samsung used to sponsor Chelsea

I wont be getting the Iphone as it seems the main things wrong with are the things that are most likely for me to smash it against a wall.

I'm very upset, I have to say. Not because of the phone but because this stimulating thread is now likely to fade away. Who else am I going to talk to mobile phones with now? It's a sad day. Maybe if I get a phone too we can talk apps or something like that? Or phone covers, that'd be awesome!
