    I love swype! Can't imagine going back to regular texting now!!

    I haven't had an iphone so can't offer a good comparison, but I have had a galaxy s for around a month now and, tbh, I can't see anything on the iphone that would make the extra money worthwhile. I love my galaxy s!

    Those that have the Galaxy S....
    How do you get on with the physical size of the thing, I was playing with one earlier in a phone shop and compared to my 5800 it's huge. As I'm due an upgrade very soon, unsure as to whether it well be just too bulky in my pockets?
  • I have had an iPhone 4 for six weeks now and have got more and more frustrated with it, so much so that I called O2 yesterday to see if I could get it sent back.

    The phone itself is beautiful. The screen resolution is amazing, camera superb, video camera great, and it doesn't smash when you drop it!

    However, the signal is appalling. It's not just when you've got it in the 'death grip' either. I have Bluetooth in my car and literally the calls drop out every couple of minutes. I'm getting so frustrated with it and have always loved Apple products but feel like throwing it out of the window at the moment.

    Even worse, I foolishly told my OH to get one as well. Now when we're on the phone to each other either one of our signals is bound to drop out, which leads to frustration and arguments!

    Don't know anything about the Galaxy I'm afraid, so can't comment, but go into an iPhone 4 purchase with your eyes open.

    I'm use to the iphone 3gs already, the screen is bigger, handset slightly bigger but lighter and a delight to use.

    I actually found the 5800 more of a pain because it was chunky. Hardly even notice I'm carrying the Galaxy, super light too

    Have found it for £20 per month over 24 months but the phone costs £139.99 but you do get £50 cashback.

    Where was this deal please?
