Guys, please don't turn this into an iPhone debate. It's just a phone, regardless of what everyone thinks.
Anyways, you should give Samsung or LG a try. Their latest phones seem quite promising (INNOV8, Omnia HD, Renoir, Arena...). It's pretty obvious you don't want to change brands, but face it, SE aren't going to clean up their act any time soon. |

The W715 is available in NZ now. If I had a spare 800 bucks I don't think I could stop myself getting it. Would be a tough choice which one to use and which to give to my wife - W715 or iPhone? |

Agreed with that, just can't let a rant go un-return-ranted. Like I said before, the two Android phones and the new Symbians like Samsung's Omnia HD are well worth checking out too, or perhaps the Nokia 5800 even. The point is there's actually a LOT of very interesting stuff out there now or coming very shortly, it's just that none of it is coming from SE.
Nobody in the market for a smartphone should be hanging around (potentially forever) for the Idou, without very seriously looking at what's already available elsewhere.

Yep, fills the lack of features on a £600 odd phone that I can enjoy on a £20 phone!!!
If you like, but it's a tired old point that will be history in June. It's true that the iPhone's lacked a few basic features up till now, it's also true that it's had many extraordinary features that will never be found on a £20 phone.
Lets not forget the STUPID control of Apples nanny state apps. For instance, someone wanted to sell an app that lets you view newspapers, Apple banned it because The Sun has boobs in it! They also banned a Twitter app because PEOPLE SWEAR ON TWITTER!
Yeah great forward thinking company! Thankfully there are RUMOURS that Apple will introduce parental controls in OS3 and then just maybe relax there utterly old fashioned dumb thinking don't want a law suite controls. So yeah, Apple has the potential to get it right after 2 years!
Actually the appstore hasn't even been open 1 year yet, but they've still gotten enough right to distribute one BILLION app downloads, so arguably they're doing something right. They're certainly walking all over Symbian, Android, and Windows Mobile at the moment. With parental controls (which *are* coming in OS3) things should get better.
Yes the iPhone has an amazing OS, well built, but by God it lacks in sssssooooooooooooo many SIMPLE areas that frankly any company launching a consumer aimed device costing more then a laptop should be doing by default! From LAUNCH!
From launch the iPhone wasn't even a smartphone, just a fancy ipod with a few basic phone functions. The genius of Apple is the way in which they've developed and supported it since then, opening it up to third party apps, addng feature after feature to iPhones both new and old, even right up to this year when all those "soooo many SIMPLE areas" are going to be catered for and even people like you, who've never been near an iPhone, are running out of things to complain about.
Jees, just read your pathetic attempt to protect the iPhone and try to make it sound like your total blind loyalty is justified. I don't need to reply to you because you yourself in one post has confirmed everything I said and also stated just how very bad Apple and the iPhone really are.
It's taken 2 flipping years for Apple to add cut and past yet to you it's not a problem and you then go and state that we will have to wait forever for the Idou!!! Oh the utter blind hypocrisy is plain laughable.
Please don't reply as it's not fair on this thread as said and I will say no more on the matter.
But before you go and give advice you MUST give all the FACTS both bad and wrong instead of shoving the Jesus phone down peoples throats. |

Come on Boinng. I always respected you for being intelligent but not for being a salesman. In fact your off-topic rant was longer than his. iPhone is probably Jesus, yeah, but not God. |

No, it wasn't. But let's move on.

I was and am in the same situation. I sold my old P990 just to get the new one after few days. I am still looking for suitable replacement and might just get G900 or W960 as a second phone.
iPhone (3.0) could be interesting as well as Touch Diamond 2 if you are willing to cope with WM... |
