You are kidding us right? An iPhone wins hands down. A lot of cynics may say iPhone is just gimmicks blah blah blah. Yeah, I do agree it is a bit pricey and it has its faults but Most of these people criticising will have never owned an iphone. I've had BB in the past and my sister owns an android handset, and trust me, the experience on it doesn't match up to the iphone. The fact that Nokia and Android and BB are trying to develop the next iPhone killer is proof of how good the iphone is. Full stop.

The N8 will have a far superior camera, and has an fm radio, music can be streamed via bluetooth (if your car supports BT) the itunes app store will have more useless apps than on OVI, the N8 will be less data hungry and you see less pathetic sob stories of how one went on holiday and the phone bill was more than the holiday when they took the iphone, N8 does not seem to fail working just before a new model release or a need to make an insurance claim. But that sid the IP4 is a popular choice so you will be in good company.

The ios5 is very android like, so that negates your argument, I have a 4th gen ipod touch, a htc wildfire and a SE Satio, I buy my handsets sim free and can see no reason to purchase an IP4 over the other handsets available even if it were the same price as the competiton.

Been looking at a few tarrifs dont want a long contract is Tesco the best deal?

(250m 5000txt 1GB data £25pm £426 upfront cost for 32GB model or £335 for 16GB)

Also remember reading Apple were tracking users do all makers do that on smartphones?

Everyone will say something different, you know what they say about opinions...

Best thing you can do is to have a play on a few (CPW/P4U) and see which you feel is right for you.

Don't forget to add £69 to the price of your iPhone if you want to have a proper 24 months warranty like with any other smartphone that has 24 months for free.

I disagree, Android and may be even Apple haven't come up with any thing original recently, maybe they even influence each other, but I believe Apple just does things better and invests far more time and energy in delivering a better solution. Smart phones have been around for a while, Blackberry and Sony E and Nokia have been churning them out year after year with tens of models. Apple built one phone (yeah, maybe different versions came out later) but it made sure that it worked the best. Its popularity is testament to this fact, I guess. Ok, may be we'll just agree to disagree on this one, because I know there are a lot of Android fans out there who are equally passionate. x

You are entitled to beleieve what you wish, I'm not an anything fan, I purchased my ipod touch to replace my palm tungsten, but guess what I still use my palm tungsten, the apple does not do much far superior at all, bluetooth to other devices seems to be one area where the iphones are a let down, it is hard to deny the N8 has a far superior camera with proper flash , the useful apps are available on all platforms, I suppose when the IP 38 comes out, it maybe worth me considering, but having my ip touch did not inspire me to get an iphone 4, however the htc wildfire , had i purchased that before the touch, then I doubt I would have the apple product at all

Who's kidding who ? ....I have used the iphone, the Samsung Galaxy S and the Nokia N8 and personally prefer the Nokia N8 however if I had to list them in terms of useability it would be ....
1/ Samsung Galaxy S.
2/ Nokia N8.
3/ iphone 4.

Too many people want the iphone because everyone they know seems to have one ( the herd mentality ) , I am not saying that the iphone is not a good mobile but there are better phones out there.
