Which mobile phones are the best on the market right now?

The iphone is a bag of crap.

You can't even change the battery if it clunks out.

Nokia has easily available spares and accessories. try that with iphone.

Nokia has no connectivity issues with any other device. How about iphone.

I have not heard about Nokia phones exploding. iphone?

Now youve gone and done it I nearly made my mind up then, I will have to wait and see what the Satio is like, I know it is not out yet but have there been any problems that you know of?

Not heard of anything yet, but I'm very excited by my Satio. Being delivered Friday I think (hope!)

Conversation between an iPhone owner (ip) and a friend (f):

 

f: Hi!

ip: Look at my new iPhone 3GS!

f: Well... How are you?

ip: Have you seen how cool the user interface is?

f: Well, yes.

ip: It's awesome. I can do anything with my iPhone.

f: Really?

ip: Sure! Just as Steve Jobs said, it's five years ahead of the competition!

f: Oh. Ok. I just took some pictures with my digital camera. Can you please upload them for me?

ip: Sure. Just put them in iTunes and we'll beam them up!

f: No. I mean here and now. Here's my SD card. Just plug it in.

ip: SD card? What's that?

f: Never mind... So how do you add more storage in the future?

ip: Hahaha! No one will ever need more than 32Gb!

f: Never mind... I think I've heard that one before. Let's take some pictures then.

ip: Spot on! My iPhone has this great 3MP camera!

f: 3MP? Not 5MP?

ip: 5MP? What's that?

f: Never mind... It's a bit dark under the trees here. Just make sure to use your flash.

ip: Flash? What's that?

hb. Never mind... Let's listen to some radio then, ok?

ip: No problem! IP radio?

f: We've got no network coverage here. How about FM radio?

ip: FM radio? What's that?

f: Never mind...

ip: Anyway. When we have coverage we can surf at 7.2 Mbps HSDPA!

f: Not 10 Mbps?

ip: 10 Mbps? What's that?

f: Never mind... Let's jump in the car and drive to my place.

ip: Sure. Driving the car is about the only thing the iPhone can't do, yet. Hahaha.

f: You've got music on your device, right? Let's listen while we drive.

ip: Sure. I'll just start playing. Just listen to that speaker!

f: That speaker? Doesn't it have stereo speakers?

ip: Stereo speakers? What's that?

f: Never mind... Can we listen to it on my car stereo? I've got a really nice rig in my car.

ip: Sure. Where can I plug it in?

f: Just switch on the FM transmitter and we can listen to all your music.

ip: FM transmitter? What's that?

f: Never mind... Ok. We're home. You said you took some pictures and videos of your family last weekend? Maybe we can have a look at them.

ip: Yeah! This is the iPhone at it's best! Just look at this 3.5" screen. It's got a whopping 320x480 resolution!

f: Really? Not 848x480?

ip: 848x400? What's that?

f: Never mind... Let's watch them on my 42" LCD TV instead. Where's your video out cable?

ip: Video out? What's that?

f: Never mind... Ok then. Let's transfer the files to my PC then.

ip: Sure. Let's just install iTunes, ok?

f: Why? Let's just connect it as an external USB thumbdrive and we copy them over.

ip: External USB thumbdrive? What's that?

f: Never mind... Let's go and watch some TV.

ip: Aren't you impressed by my iPhone?

f: Very... Can you switch channel with it?

ip: What do you mean? Is this some kind of joke?

f: No, just use the IR port.

ip: IR port? What's that?

f: Never mind... So. Let me send a message to my wife.

ip: Sure! Here it is.

f: The on screen keyboard is covering most of the screen. Don't you have a HW QWERTY keyboard?

ip: HW QWERTY keyboard? What's that?

f: Never mind... Let's fire up some applications then!

ip: No problem. Look here!

f: One at a time? No multitasking?

ip: Multitasking? What's that?

f: Never mind... How much RAM memory do you have access to?

ip: 256Mb! Can you believe it?

f: Together with 768Mb of virtual memory?

ip: Virtual memory? What's that?

f: Never mind... How about tethering then?

ip: Tethering? What's that?

f: That's the ability for your computer to surf the web using your iPhone as a wireless modem.

ip: Uh-huh...

f: Never mind... Oops. Seems the battery has run flat.

ip: Uh-oh... I haven't got a charger with me.

f: Maybe a spare battery?

ip: Spare battery? What's that? There must be an Apple service center somewhere nearby.

f: Never mind... Anyway, how much did you pay for it!

ip: Only $800. What a steal!

f: What? That's $150 more than my device that can do all those things that I asked you about!

ip: Yes, but it's ahead of its time, right?

f: Ok. Can it tell the time?

ip: Of course it can!

f: What time is it then?

ip: A quarter past eight.

f: What year?

ip: Funny…. It says 1999….

f.. I thought so…

Good one!

Not everybody will like them. Maybe you could go to O2 store and have a play about on one and see what you think. I love mine have had it ages but it still hasnt lost its fun value. Depends what you want from a phone really, I am not bothered about taking photo's or films as I have a digital camera for that and I never ever use Blue tooth so not bothered about that but if your other half does like taking photo's etc probably better with a new Nokia or Samsung. If you other half is a music fan (and doesn't own an Ipod) or a gadget fan I would recommend the Iphone.
