Default Re: iPhone sales rather EXCELLENT - FT report

LOL !!! .... Sounds like someone has "iPhone Envy" ...... ????

BTW: I think the Voice Mail system on the iPhone is "Visual"
so even if you can speed dial by pressing the "1" key, you still
have to press a whole bunch more buttons to get to the 8th message
down........ with the iPhone you still have to press a button to get to
the VM.... but then you can choose which VM easily from there.

Cannot wait to get an iPhone!

BTW: I bought a camera for taking pics, much better then ANY phone,
including the N95.

There's no need to wait, they are freely available.

For various values of "free".

And while lots of people can buy them, they aren't worth much without
a compatible phone service.

My partner is quite happily using an iPhone I got him for
Xmas, paid £230 for it from the USA, unlocked it, hacked it
and it works a treat with our Vodafone sim card in it, rather
than the crappity contract that O2 are offering.

I'm very happy with the O2 contract. Plus the actual phone service is
much better than the work t-mobile phone I had for a year before
getting the iPhone. I don't think I've had a dropped call yet. On
t-mobile is was a cause for celebration if any call over a few minutes
wasn't dropped. It was especially bad in Northern Ireland but
colleagues in other parts of the UK also hate t-mobile. Indeed many are
going back to Vodafone on their work phones.
