I hated mine. you cant send photos, and cant forward messages.
mine went into a pint of guinness after about a week, but that was when they first came out so there may have been a software update.
i just thought it was old news, but depends what you want it for but i dont particularily think of it as a status symbol. Saying that, a couple of friends love theirs like they have birthed it themselves

There are a couple of flaws but there are ways of getting round them
The applications that are available now are fantastic (even one that remembers where you parked your car and directs you back)
Trust me with my memory thats helpful !
I dont think of it as a status symbol !
I think of it as a tool that gives me everything in one unit

That was a very expensive pint of guiness you had !

I was insured, and once i made my mind up about it, i took the sim out and drunkenly did some experiments, the durability was good from 6 feet, but it couldnt swim which knocked marks off for me.
i am very happy with my new sony ericsson T68i

You could get an iphone unlocked and use your voda sim
or
go to o2 and have your number transferred ?

been on voda 10 years so sort of institutionalised,just a waiting game i reckon,should go on all networks eventually.
must be good to have an apple computer aswell as an iphone ,my boss has one ,looks proper space age ,drive built into flat panel and streamlined keyboard.

From what I see/ hear it will never be released on other networks due to the deal with apple and o2.
Whats more likely and in fact is starting to happen is other networks will get their own answer to the iphone..... ie Voda have new touch screen BB coming out and I am sure others will follow.

Ive been a mac user for all my computer life and yes they are lovely !

Well obviously I will favour the iphone !
However the browser (safari) is a full internet browser not scaled down and the way you enlarge text etc is fantastic
seriously its no different to using a laptop.

But then we hit the voda prob again ..
so I guess wait for the new BB to come out
Or N95 is pretty good but smallish screen compared to iphone.

Whoops forgot to mention.......I currently have a brand new N95 8gb for sale
Boxed etc on o2 but very easy to unlock..
