Ickles iPhone4 arrived today Darlo..     She's at school til Friday, but I have spent 2 hours this afternoon oooohing & aahhhhhing at it.

I love it ...  

I want to keep it

So, I decided to gift wrap it, before I got too attached

My son got one for his birthday, loves it. it is nearly strapped to him

Blackberry's are the dogs

Awesome, you should have had a go LOL!

She spent 2 hours making sure it worked

My daughter had one for her birthday and she's broke the pins in the charger socket already

I LOVE mine

So, she has inherited her mother's talent for breaking electrical goods.

I'm a bit gutted Karma..  I really did spend 1 and half hours just picking it up and ooohing, then reading the manual..  & ahhing..   

I did fire it up..   but it wanted the sim in before it did anything..  

robbed!!!   most phones will let you have a play without the sim.


I didn't dare put the sim in it..    she'd have known and killed me!

Then I spent half an hour trying to fit everything back into the box the way it was when I opened it 

There is a reason I then gift wrapped it..     it keeps the lid on the box..  stops it from springing open from the imperfectly coiled charging cable 

 she is worse then me

I'm mulling over a Blackberry Curve 9300 or HTC Wildfire.  I like the idea of a proper qwerty keyboard but not the practicalities of a small screen.  Anyone have experience of either?

Nope sorry, I don't Carnelian, but 'bumps' for you and also wonders what's so good about a blackberry. The peeps at work aren't all that enamoured with them   I have to say I haven't got one though

Cheers sprooot

I don't get on so well with the on screen keyboards I've used so far, although I've tended to have used bargain basement phones over the last two or three years.

I've just got a Blackberry 9700. I've had it for two weeks and have made two calls so far

I really don't do mobile phones

Hehe! I've had about five since I said to peeps I wouldn't ever have a mobile 

TBH, I prefer my old £10 Samsung to this new fangled thingy that I've got now - though I do love having the Internet on it.

I'm rubbish with phones though

That's what I mean........peeps at work have often been heard to comment..........you ever tried to read an e-mail on a Blackberry. I'm sorry I'd rather stick with me Sony Ericcson W595 and E-Mail  

my 2 have them.......one has had endless trouble with it.........buttons sticking..........won't open messages etc.........t'other one has had no trouble at all with hers

It's all in the finger action I think Spongey  

It's quite odd how it happened. I could not decide between a Blackberry or the iPhone. The first shop I went to I asked if the gadjee could explain how the Crackberry worked. I would have got one there and then. He took offence at the term. The rest is history. I love my iPhone !

 

Everyone to their own Joe, but I wouldn't have an I (whatever) if you paid me 

sproooot

I know what you mean sproooot, I was a quite late adopter but at various times I really don't know what I'd have done without one. 

I have to admit since the whole smart phone thing kicked off with the iPhone I've found it a bit more interesting although I can't afford an iPhone and have an axe to grind in Apple's direction, anyway.  I'm on my fifth at the moment but it's a very basic Samsung Genio Touch.  I like the Genio Touch and it's a great phone for its price, but it's quite basic. Time to move on to more flashy bits of tech!

Will you use it all though Carnelian? as long as it makes calls and sends texts and maybe takes piccies? thats all you need surely? 

When I'm at the footie, sat in the north stand, suffering disappointment, trading SMS between my German acquaintances, who meanwhile are sat in the North Stand in a city far far away, I occasionally observe my neighbour/ nachbar who is busily knocking out messages on his crackberry. It looks sheight to be honest.
