BUT the hipstamatic app and other cool photo apps make up for that. The Iphone 4 is meant to have a better camera.Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767070950695514724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-25332888308722391322010-11-09T22:30:49.050+00:002010-11-09T22:30:49.050+00:00I have a Nokia smartphone so I can get my emails d...I have a Nokia smartphone so I can get my emails delivered to my phone, I can get onto the internet (though the pages are basically text, no pretty graphics) and I have the fun of the touch screen! It takes decent photos and also holds a lot of music so I can use it as an mp3. I'm very happy with it, but I'd love an iPhone!! Just can't justify the extra cost!! I think some of the apps are a bit gimmicky, though some sound a lot of fun. I'm just not sure how much I'd actually use them. Being able to blog from my phone would be good, though - in theory I can do that from my Nokia, in practice I haven't figured it out yet but I'm not convinced I could include the detail and number of images I usually have in a post....humelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337055138734278353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-40072484768846630712010-11-09T09:10:45.302+00:002010-11-09T09:10:45.302+00:00Sorry I can't advise on the price because my D...Sorry I can't advise on the price because my DH does mine through a business contract for me. I use it for checking emails in the evenings because I always turn my computer off at tea time so I can spend some time with the kids.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-77472891664870988212010-11-09T07:25:51.355+00:002010-11-09T07:25:51.355+00:00I wouldn't go back to any other phone.

The apps are fun but some of them are just novelty apps and don't do a lot like some of the games. For work though, calendar-syncing, to-do list syncing etc. is invaluable for me. Facebook, twitter etc are all fun too. I have the 3G, can't compare it to anything else but it is fine for me. I think the internet is slightly quicker on the 3GS and 4G. I bought a handset on pay and go, cost me about £300 at the time. I then bought an 02 simplicity SIM card. That cost me £19 per month for 1600 mins, 800 texts and unlimited 3G. I also got £100 cashback from quidco by buying the sim card, in the long run it worked out about £150 cheaper than getting a free phone and paying £35 a month. They have changed the packages slightly but I'll likely go for : <br />http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/simplicity/iphone/12_months next time...just another way of doing it that might sway you one way or another. You can probably pick up 3Gs as cheap as £200 or less now. I bought mine before the 4G was out. I ummed and ahhed for a whole year about buying one and I literally wish I'd bought it straight away. It works like a dream, the touch screen is easy after the inital shock of not having buttons, it's intelligent in it's menu's, you don't have to click hundreds of buttons, it is easy to use and navigate. I sound like I work for Apple!!Liberty :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07956016654162678182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-85191147765696320682010-11-08T21:32:43.973+00:002010-11-08T21:32:43.973+00:00I keep thinking I want one but just because they s...I keep thinking I want one but just because they seem to be everywhere. So each time I see someone has used Hipstamatic or Photobooth, I find a way to create my own film photos or photostrips and so on an realise I don't really need one after all.<br /><br />I just kind of think that the money could be better spent!<br /><br />P.S. All this could be wrong because iPhones are lovely and I want one.Miss Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456567955425418569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-21115337185309991612010-11-08T20:49:59.390+00:002010-11-08T20:49:59.390+00:00I refuse to pay over £10 a month for my contract s...I refuse to pay over £10 a month for my contract so suppose an iphone would be out of the question - my husband chose my current phone for me with the proviso that it could be anything - as long as it wasn't pink!!
