Just a thought, but since I got my iPhone I have never purchased another brand of mobile. I have also never upgraded my phone... I wonder if we will see more brand loyalty now in the hand set market?

Not only that I wonder if we will ever see traditional manufactures lead the trend?

Lol

I knew you would have a say! You must hate the phone.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009

not sure about brand loyalty but i defo reckon software loyalty will start to show as mobile OS's become more user friendly and ppl get used to each one.

I for one love Android and iPhones OS and would prefer to get a phone with their OS than any other at the mo...

I always tell me customers the same thing when they ask "is the iPhone any good?". I just say "well, there's thing it doesn't do that our 30 pay as you go phones CAN do....."
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for.

Whats more for 300 you get a bottom of the range camera, and a loudspeaker you can't even hear , can't but feel sorry for iphone users.

I still prefer NOKIA S60, my Dad has a iPhone3G 8GB, and as 'cool' as it is to use when showing it off, it lacks things that ive gotten used to. Almost everyday i use Bluetooth file transfer, Multitasking (a minimum of 3apps is usualy running on my S60), i still prefer the S60 UI a lot more, all the fancy and flashy things the iPhone's UI does is just not for me but then again i tend to prefer function over look, also the whole touchscreen 'bug' hasnt bitten me yet lol, would take a Nokia N96,N86 or Sam Innov8 over a 5800xm,N97 or Omnia HD any day, ive come to love having dedicated gaming and music keys on my N81, and having a proper multitap keypad, because majority of the time i prefer to use my phone with my right hand and finaly the S60 apps eg. Ngage, Conversation, the built in S60 web browser for sites that contain flash content, UCWEB S60 with its fit to screen option and low power consumption, Mobitubia for streaming and downloading my fav YouTube vids etc. . . . But there is no denying the iPhone is an excellent device and deserves the attention due to what it brought to the table and it showed that user friendlyness is very important even in a smartphone, and im glad it gave the other manufacturers a major wake up call, look at how much it has changed everything, great job by Apple IMO, but its just not for me personaly. sorry for the long post.

Apology not accepted GUCCI, It's long, I only read the first and last sentences

Anyway, the way I see the iphone is that it's best used as a complement for other conventional phones. It's like eating cereals with strawberries, in this case the iphone would be the strawberry, you don't really need it.

I do not apologise for anyone that doesn't understand what I just said
