JawD 99 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Im interested to hear how Android handles multi-touch? One of the things I like about the iPhone UI. Oh, and Playstation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Because if you buy a banger instead of a £5k car it will break down. Or if you buy cheap food it tastes worse that expensive food. Phones like the Motorola Droid and the HTC Hero do exactly the same as the iPhone? As for me keeping this thread going, it takes two to tango Jealous tbh.

AgentAxeman 189 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 "Tesco will sell the iPhone for £222 with its one-year contract An iPhone price war has been triggered with news Tesco is to sell the iconic device on a £20 a month contract. The entry of Tesco into the iPhone market means that the cheapest way of buying and running one amounts to £462 with a one year contract. This is made up of £222 for one of the original 3G models with an 8GB memory and 12 monthly payments of £20. Over 18 months, the figure would be £582, which is some £43 cheaper than the equivalent deals from current iPhone providers. The supermarket is taking on established mobile phone networks, Orange and O2, in the battle for sales in the crucial Christmas trading period. The pressure to cut prices will be turned up in the new year when Vodafone will also start offering the iPhone. Currently, both Orange and O2 insist on customers signing up for a minimum 18 months for those who buy the iPhone on a contract basis. This means the cheapest way of buying and running an iPhone 3G works out at £624.98 with Orange. That is a handset price of £96.50 and a monthly charge of £29.36. The price with O2, which originally had exclusive rights to sell the iPhone when it was first launched in November 2007, works out at £625.73 for a similar deal. Mobile phone handset prices and tariffs are notoriously complex, which means making a like for like comparison is virtually impossible for consumers. This works to the advantage of the salesmen who routinely blind customers with a myriad of figures in order to push handsets and meet sales targets. The picture is complicated by the fact that the amount of call minutes, texts and internet minutes included in the monthly charge will vary between the networks. Another important factor is the geographical coverage of the network linked to the handset. All the major networks have blackspots which can mean a good value phone is useless if one of these falls over your locality. Tesco will also be offering the iPhone on a pay as you go basis. It will charge £342, which is just £1 less than Orange and O2. Apple's iPhone has changed the entire mobile phone market. Before it arrived, networks were giving expensive handsets away free of charge as part of their contracts. Tesco is selling the iPhone with an 18-month contract for £582, £43 less than equivalent deals from other mobile providers Today, customers have to pay hundreds of pounds for an iPhone if they want to avoid paying ruinously high contract fees. At the same time, it sparked a raft of supposed iPhone killers which have copied its touchscreen technology, such as the Palm Pre and LG Cookie. Today it still leads a host of smart phones that double as music and video players, digital cameras, web browsers and email devices. Tesco will start offering the range of iPhones from Monday. The higher spec 3GS model with a 16GB memory will cost £320 on a 12-month contract of £20 a month. It will be £440 on a pay-as-you go basis. Tesco Mobile services operate over the O2 network which is a partner in the business with Tesco. The firm's chief executive, Lance Batchelor, said: 'iPhone is now available and affordable for all, with the best deals in the UK market. 'This is a fantastic announcement for us and we’re delighted to make iPhone available to our customers. It shows what a serious player in the mobile market Tesco Mobile has become." hmmmmmmmmm, my contracts up for renewal soon. could be tempted.

Christmas Tree 4821 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Xilisoft Iphone Rip --- Write this down Your computer crashes and you lose all your itunes music / photos / videos etc. Until recently there has been no way to restore itunes unless you are one of these clever types who backs up their computer. Now the above software copies everything on your phone either back to your computer hard disk or directly back into Itunes. Lifesaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I Use a different bit of software to back up my phone (when I remember). Also iTunes holds your purchases there so you can grab them again for free. I also use microsoft exchange so all my emails and contacts are stored on their server so if I need to restore the phone I can get that lot back in a minute.

maggiespaws 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Boxed In is a great game if you like puzzle games. The full version was free when I got it. The sequel is out now too and IIRC its only a couple of quid. I got Trivial Pursuit for free as part of the 12 days of Xmas iyunes thing ad that's canny too. Very similar to the xbox 360 version - even share the same questions as I found out on Sat The amazon & ebay apps are useful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have just been offered one of the "better than the iphone" HTC Hero things that J69 thinks we are all jealous of through Orange retentions. I have an iphone through work and planned to end my contract with Orange as I wouldnt need the two accounts and thought I would save myself some pennies. I explained when I tried to cancel that it was no use trying to retain me a customer as there was no point to having the extra expense. He then offered me a contract of £10 a month with the HTC Hero, I asked about internet and he explained that would be £5 a month extra to which I told him I wouldnt bother, he then offered me unlimited internet too for the £10. Will probably stick it on ebay as they are going around £280 (play.com want £370), give the sim card with 200 minutes, free texts and free internet to one of my parents which will see me making a nice little £100 for nowt. Result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
