We know that, just it seems this thread is supposed to brainwash you into thinking only one product

I disagree. If you read the post positive and negative comments are for all products.
Some comments might be strong but I think this apply to all products.

Also it's nice to know windows phone is getting positive comments and trying to make phones cheaper. Nokia windows phone look good.

The more choice bring down the price and help customers.

Currently both iPhone and top android phones are way too expensive to buy.

You disagree now, but earlier in the thread, it is fair to say, you were all iphone, windows mobile has been around for a long time, and had fallen into the background, seems it is coming back with avengeance, as long as the mainstream apps are available, then it will do well , with healthy competition, the prices of products can only reduce irrespective of operating system.
The handsets are not expensive, just many have gotten into this concept of having a handset on credit (even though they are stupid enough to think it is free) and as you mention, some handsets have a high resale value

Does this mean you can't play flash video like iPhone?

Correct. And now that Adobe have confirmed they are ceasing mobile Flash development, it may or may not come.

Surprised people think the Titan is too big - but each to his own I guess. I remember when pople used to laugh at me for carrying the SE P800 around - "that's a brick!" was the usual response.

Personally I don't even find the SG Note "too big" having tried one out yesterday - and the screen is outstanding - much better than the iphone IMO.

If you are thinking about what phone satisfaction Rating may help and generally secondhand price tend to be higher (true for cars and other stuff as well). Still keep in mind what you need from the phone and make sure the phone you are looking to buy have the functions you need:

One would be very short sighted not to observe that the total should add up to 100%, so the graph is next to meaningless, also as the Apple may cost more than say an LG, then whilst it may fetch less money 2nd hand (why would you want to get rid of a phone if you are satisfied with it ?) it would have lost more money as a % of purchase price.
Just like a car purchase, once bought assume all money is lost and anything returned from a sale is a bonus :cool:

No. I guess what it means is that 75% of iPhone owners are satisfied while 25% are not etc....

so the graph is next to meaningless,

... but it is still pretty much meaningless because if 100% of all (very few) Lamborghini owners are satisfied no way this means that this is a good car (value for money) for even 5% of all UK car owners.

I wonder why SE is missing in the chart.
