And after the warranty runs out? Having owned an iphone 3gs and 4 i can tell you now, the battery last no longer than its counterparts. In fact it lasts less time than my old Desire HD and now Galaxy S2.

What?!! A hinderence? How on earth is that true. Put it in, never take it out. Explain please.

Again, what?! How can an iphone reduce the need to use a phone as a phone

if i need to make a call well what else am i gonna do it with?

“5. I don't care about my image, I just want the best product for my needs. I've used todays HTC offerings and they still don't compare to my 4 year old iphone. They're powerful but lack the infrastructure needed to deliver a feel of quality.”
Nonsense. Sense is pretty much regarded as one of the best Android add on's ever.
Anyway, the original 2g iphone was shocking. Lacked everything a standard £30 phone had. Screen was awful as well. However, it did change the way touchscreen phones were made.

Agreed.

“7. I bought my iphone for £379 and it's lasted me 4 years. That's £94.75 a year. Which I'd say is value for money so far, and lets not forget, it's still running pretty smoothly and looking pretty new, even after a few drops.”
Yes it is good value for money however, i know people who still have their 2gs and they dont look good.

“8. I agree the iphone4 had a badly designed antenna, but the other models seem to be pretty much similar to that of other smart phones. It's not something I can honestly say I've ever really experienced on this phone.”
The design of the iphone 4 antenna was shocking and even an amateur would have known this issue would happen. Not sure what you mean about other smartphones as they have never had this issue.

“9. This is really the same question as 7. You don't get much of a screen, but surely that's the point of what is essentially a micro-mobile-computer. I was in the market for a Desire HD a few years ago, until I used one and it was just way too big. I want my phone to be a compact device. If I wanted tablet I'd buy a tablet.”
When has a smartphone ever been known as a micro mobile computer? They are known as mobile computers and the screen size will go up to what fits in the pocket comfortably. My Galaxy S2 fits perfectly in my pocket.

I would say 9
