The both of you are obviously die hard fanboys, but you do accept their limitations. But it's not just the limitations that I'm looking at.

Yes, things do get better when you jailbreak them. But how long will it be before Apple finally spring the 'forced update' upon their loyal users?

We all know they're working on it. With a possible weakness found in the ROM chip that could mean a premenant jailbreak & unlock, allowing updates without risk. There's a ticking timebomb till Apple close the threat with new architecture. It's then expected that the end user will be forced to take every update if they want to use Itunes on their PC.

This will force people to accept Apple's bullshit or switch to Winamp (if this works with the Iphone, ain't checked for a long time) & never use Itunes again.

Apple's business plan really does shit all over the end user.

But then Microshite are just as bad with Google not to far behind.

Upgraded

Hey,

Iv been with 3 quite a few years, I have got to say that where I live their network is Sh**e, but when you try to leave they offer you some kick ass deals.

They tend to give you a loyalty bonus such as a discount on your bills, I got 700 mins, 500 txts for ?12.50 per month. In my experience its best to ring them up and ask to leave the network, thats when they tend to give the better deals. Asking for an upgrade usually results in you getting robbed blind.

Mind, they tend to offer some not so good hand sets at those low prices. In terms of phones, Sony Ericsson is awful at the moment, nokia is making a comeback with the N8, Samsung is excelling in all areas. But it depends on whatyou want to use the phone for.

In terms of the iphone, I agree its good for apps, but its features don't tend to match that of other phones available on the market. but if its apps you want apple cant be beaten.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone and thanks for all the replies. I've read every post numerous times and must say (i don't have a scooby doo what any of it means). It just made me realise all i need is a big block that just makes and recieves calls and is not afraid of getting a bit of cement and sand from work on it. Don't get me wrong i wish i was clued up on all this but it would be like buying a Farari and taking it of road.

Make the choice that's right for you. There are phones made that will be more suited to your work.

Sonim make a range of phones that can take a load of punishment. Including submersible to 1m for 30 minutes, impervious to dust & micro-particles, withstands 2m drops onto concrete, built to withstand vibrations upto 23G & works in temps ranging from -20 to 55 degrees C. With extended ?Battery life? (up to 18 hours of talk and 1500 hours of standby), GPS, LED torch, 2MP camera.

It might not be flash, but it will survive everything you can throw at it.

Have a read on the Sonim site then check out ebay for the prices. Lowering your bill by not taking a phone free's you to look at shit the network doesn't carry. Just make sure any new phone is 3G compatible.

Those were the business. Dropped one while at the top of a ~~~~ing tall ladder, about 35ft up, the battery popped off & there was a small scratch on the leading corner. Clipped the battery back on & away she went. Indestructable & never dropped a call.

Just not sure if they made any for the digital networks, these were around during the old analogue era.

I have the iPhone, HTC Desire and the Nokia N97... and tbh I think the iPhone is a load of crap for the price of it. Even when jailbroken it is still an over-priced piece of turd.

The HTC Desire is the best handset I have very very closely followed by the Nokia.

I have the blackmarket app on the HTC (just like the jailbreak on the iPhone) and about 8Gb of apps on my hard drive. Once connected to the USB cable they are a one click install and can basically do anything at all with it. It is also rooted (yet again a one click root) so can also use customised roms if I wanted to.

Mine isnt the HD but I would say that HTC all the way, and can be got on a decent tariff on Three too.
