Ordering from the uk is your best bet if you want a phone that is relatively new. The two things I use the most on my phone are wifi sharing and transdroid for remotely managing torrents, i can't do either on iPhone so it would be essentially useless for me. Plus I find the ui outdated and the fact I can't use it as a usb drive to add mp3's is an epic fail.jamespcolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409422141704485714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884121590878569662.post-35840216219918685022010-11-27T04:24:29.926-08:002010-11-27T04:24:29.926-08:00A very interesting perspective on the iPhone. Admi...A very interesting perspective on the iPhone. Admittedly I had a hard time deciding on what kind of smart phone to purchase myself. When it boiled down to it, I did end up going with the iPhone 4 mainly because of the sheer quality of the proprietary hardware and software. I will agree that the OS in general has a lot of room to diversify. Considering all the features that come with the 4, however, I'd have a hard time opting for any Android device other than the Droid X (which are not available in Canada yet). We always seem to get the smart phone shaft here in the frosty North. <br /><br />When it comes to toys Apple does a good job in my honest opinion. When it comes to computing, I tend to disagree with their closed policy. I expect my smart phone to do what smart phones should do best. If I really want any of the other stuff, I head home to my nice, open source machine ;).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331144049078587843noreply@blogger.com
