lol, the N95 is a brick but with lots of features - if your happy with that then thats fine.

Why the iPhone will be a lot heavier fiy ou add 3G I'm not sure - there are plenty of 3G phones in the market that are smaller than the iPhone.

The iPhone is software - when you add a new feature you are adding software. Apple produce some of the best software around,. not just OS X and regularly send out updates and so on. Why they would have problems updating a mobile version of OS X I don't know.

The latest update to the iPhone has worked very well by the looks of things.

I think that's a little harsh. Until it comes out over here and a direct comparison can be done any debate remains up in the air.

I confess, I like my Mac, but that has probably more to do with the fact it is new than anything else.

I'm intrigued to ask why Neo thinks it is tacky (but perhaps that's for a different debate). I'm still getting used to it and it seems ok to me.

Regarding the iPhone. I'm considering it because I assume it'll interface more easily Apple - Apple. But I don't know and won't commit until it is proved.

That said, the Vario 2 I use (alignment issue aside) is fine. Interfaced with a Windows PC and also with the Mac.

The downside is Windows Mobile 5 can only cope with 3 email addresses and if you have more than that and do a full sync with a Mac it wipes all but those three as it syncs.

Hopefully the iPhone will do better.

Sadly, my rather poor experince with Nokia / Symbian / PCsync has left me rather non plussed, so won't be doing that route again.

I wonder if a software upgrade will fix the unresponsive screens that some users have experienced iPhone Users report unresponsive screens

So maybe Apple don't produce some of the best software around?

**snore** You clearly don't know the difference between hardware faults and software innovation.

I do...

When it's a problem with Nokia you call it a 'fault' and when it's Apple you call it 'innovation'.

But surely a faulty screen is nothing to do with Apple failing to make good software?...

Apple bought the rights to the screen technology used in the iPhone from a Finnish firm. Finnish firm reported that usage led to the same unresponsive display problems after some time. Apparently, the technology uses chemical deposition to register touch-inputs based on heat, but 3 to 6 months of “extensive use” would start to degrade the technology and cause a lose of sensitivity to touch-inputs

Some whose screens were broken reported that Apple had been willing to replace the device, but others complained that the company had demanded a fee for loaning them an iPhone while theirs was being repaired.

"They refused to give me a replacement phone and would not waive the $29 fee for a loaner," 'Tjrub' wrote on the Apple Insider site.

A fault is a fault is a fault.

No technology is immune.

I have a Vario 2. It has an alignment problem. I'm told it is a known flaw with the phone and has to be sent away for a software upgrade.

It's broken, it will get fixed. It's hardly the end of the world.

The only annoyance is that the shop can't book it for the repair as the national service software is broken.

What ever happened to good old pen and ink.

If this happens as easily as has been reported and the original manufactures know about this soon apple could be in serious trouble with this.
