My iPhone is strong enough to throw at an Android fanboy and there cheap androids can never defeat the iPhones strong metal sides. Muhuhaha. And your not a true apple fanboy unless you have an iPhone/iPod Touch AND a Mac

I have had a iPod touch for 2 years if i had to use that say it was a phone,
I think it would do my head in, have you ever used the qwerty on apple iPods/phones?

I think HTC are the way forward in Android btw,
Apple despise them too which is funny! checkout the suing and lawsuits against each other

I find texting or any method of typing on touch screen phones is quite annoying.

Strong ? clearly you havent seen this video before, iPhone 4 drop test. Not very strong at all ! At least plastic HTC phones do not shatter unlike the iPhone 4's glass. Hard when hit head on, but very weak from the sides. Not good for such a premium priced phone.

Id bet this Orange San Francisco would be stronger.

Its tempered glass, hard when hit directly but completely weak when hit from the side.

Im the kind of person who never uses a case, only a phone sock for all my phones. So if i owned an iPhone id hate having to use a rubber bumper to:

    a) stop it smashing if dropped on its side
    b) improve reception due to the silly antenna issue


but i would have to as i would be far too worried about dropping a phone that would cost me over £1000 over its two year contract.

I think the x10 mini is very powerful but still not have update 2.1, which arrived in October.

I love it when he finds the quick start manual and says "read me first" and immediately tosses it aside !

It looks nice i just hate the name. It would be good if it came with a free flight to San Francisco, but why else that name ? I like how it looks, basic like a £99 phone should. I suppose it would be great as a backup phone, or backup Android phone when your Galaxy S / X10 / HTC Desire breaks down.

If i had £99 spare now id probably go buy one as my first Android phone, but then also probably still wish i had a Galaxy S.

We are talking about phones, at least were not talking about anything else, we are hardly off topic comparing Android and others
