I need some advise please :beer:

I'm about to buy a iPhone and was wondering,

A) Is the £349.99 price expensive for that type of phone?
B) Any decent Indepth reviews around (I can only find non indepth)
C) Any personal experiences with the iPhone :D

Thanks So Much :A

    A) For an iphone and because of the amazing things it can do I personally think it's worth £349.99

    B) Reviews, hmm... don't really know of any but the phone is amazing

    C) I've got an iPhone and think it's well worth the money and have been using it constantly everyday since i've got it, go try one out in store and see if you like it

    If you get caught up in the hype, it's worth the buy.

    If you think logically, no, it isn't.

    You can pickup an iPOD Touch for about £150, which has all the music/memory/player/applications edit/itunes apps that the iPhone does.

    Or you can buy an iPhone at £350, which only gives you the addition of the calling capability and a 2MP Camera, and some other worthless features.

    Might be worth keeping the below too hand, just incase.

    Ok Thanks Lee
    Sorry for ruining your time :)

    I was merely trying to point out that since this long awaited phone was released many people have made some decent in-depth reviews, which i'm sure you will get, but not just from this source.

    As well as the addition of the calling capability it also includes the free wi-fi and unlimited browsing. This is a bolt-on worth £10pm so £120 over the first year. So if you like you're paying £230 for the phone. £80 more than the itouch for the calling capabilitys, camera etc and some snazzy applications.

    "This also includes unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months after you activate your iPhone 3G*. At the end of the 12 months you can continue to receive unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for just £10 per month. We'll notify you before the end of the 12 month period by text and you can easily unsubscribe if you choose to do so."
    Waddle you do eh?
