These are adverts in application not on the internet which allow developers to give apps away free and still make a profit.

Yeah on paper Symbian looks good but in reality it's a horrible OS, the user experience is far worse than iPhone OS and Android.

I used to own a N95, even though I lost alot of features with the iPhone I would have never went back to the Nokia.

It's no surprise that Nokia's share in the smartphone market is dropping.

I still use a Nokia for my main business phone (previously an N95 8gb, now an E66). The main reason for this is that despite the fact that the iPhone is great in most ways I have issue with reception sensitivity, which on any of the iPhones doesnt compare to my Nokia. Aside from this, if Apple sort out the radio performance, I'd switch without hesitation.

Incidentally I switched from an iPhone 3GS to a 2G because the reception is better (and I couldnt justify keeping something costing £450 if it wasnt going to be my main phone), and it is quite capable of running email, voip app, skype and tune in (internet radio app) all at the same time without any problem.....imo difference between 2G and 3GS is marginal, unless you have a high value on compass and GPS functions, and 2G is certainly capable of multi-tasking.

Certainly running an email app, a voip app, and streaming music at the same time is a pretty good indication of capability imo

Ohh your talking about actually useing it primary as a phone?

Yeah in that case I wouldn't use a Apple or Google phone as they both lag abit in that department if reports are anything to go by.

I find the reception to be fine on my phone but then I get a good signal so not the best example.

Ha. I'm the opposite. I want an option to disable the annoying on-screen pop-ups at 20% and then again at 10%. I can see the battery percentage perfectly well without a pop-up.

I'd second that, but add that I'd like some decent customisable alerts without need to use yet more Cydia apps

Is this for iPhone 4? Game Center, iTunes TV Show Rentals, iTunes PING are the major features added beside HD uploads to YouTube and better looking photos.

*small print* These are only available in certain versions of iOS4.1 though. Such as iOS4.1-1.6, or iOS4.1-2.1, or iOS4.1-2.2. . .some apps not available in all versions, different version numbers apply, all versions not available on all handsets on certain networks, release dates for certain OS versions on certain networks to be announced shortly, new versions out soon to add more versions to OS as there aren't enough versions out.. . .nah just kidding. . . .those are the features that came out on the one and only iOS4.1
