    Lol - sorry I couldn't help but laugh .... fits in perfectly with jje's post!

    Anyway, I don't think the OP wants an argument for buying an iPhone just alternatives.

    its not for everyone, in that yeah, there are still restrictions to interactivity with other make devices and no expandable memory but really, is 32 gb not enough???

    No. Even if it was enough today, what about tomorrow? And what about the 16GB? That obviously isn't 'enough' as they make a bigger one. And if 32GB is enough, I presume Apple won't be bringing out a 64GB anytime?

    yep the nexus S was announced yesterday, the main reason it is a 'better than the average' android phone is because it gets the updates direct from google as soon as they are announced, so no waiting and there is no questionable 'skin' on it.

    for another good android phone, is the HTC desire HD if you root it and put cyanogenmod 6 (or any other phone that can take cyanogen) on it it becomes a slightly tweaked stock android monster with tons of new features, (you have to know what you are doing and read up on it to do it though so don't just jump into it)

    most of the things you asked to be able to do ringo can be done with a simple jailbreak tool, if you so wish to have "unnapproved apps" or run facetime over 3g, use a different web browser (infact you can get different browsers from app store)
    So you have to break the terms of your contract with Apple to get the most out of your phone? Yay!
