I'm sure this has been mentioned previously but I can't be bothered trailing through 92 pages.

I'm due to upgrade my phone in a week and I'm trying to decide between a Blackberry or Iphone.

I've had a Blackberry for just under 2 years now and it's come in handy for emails and blackberry messenger but I'm thinking of getting an iphone for better apps and a decent camera.

Anyone got an opinion?

you're just following the crowd, only mugs get iPhones. Galaxy SII is sooooo much better etc etc etc


Really though, iPhone is excellent, if you can afford it, or get a decent tarriff I don't think there's anything better out there. I've had iPhone for last few years and can't complain at all. The camera on the new one is excellent and iOS5 is superb.

Between a BB and iPhone? iPhone all the way.

Maybe worth having a look at the inferior Android offerings in a shop though to get a feel for it

My wife has an iPhone and I have the Galaxy SII. We both prefer the Samsung, but my wife is still more than happy with her iPhone. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer, but I would definitely advise you to see both working before you commit to a purchase/contract. I think the screen on the SII is much better than on the iPhone. As for a Blackberry, I can't understand why anyone would have one over a decent smartphone.

Having owned both the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy SII, my opinion would be that I prefer the Galaxy.

I think outside of business users, BBM was pretty much the only thing that people would buy a Blackberry for. Now with apps like WhatsApp offering the same service, a lot of the people I know who did have one have changed to an iPhone/ Galaxy S2/HTC instead.

Having used iOS5, Android and Windows Mango, i much prefer the windows OS.

Think it's been mentioned before on previous thread but can't find it. How do I access this forum using tapatalk on android?

Basically me and my girlfriend have the same phone (HTC Sensation), on the same network, all the same. Basically, her phone has a better signal on both internet and WiFi, which was clear out of the box. Wondered if anyone could say why/if I'll be entitled to a replacement/repair.


EDIT: I also received a text from Vodafone instructing me I had 3 months unlimited data, however I have since received a text saying I'm near my limit and will be charged £5 per 250MB.

Most networks have "fair usage" policy. Which basically means what they mean by "unlimited" means limited..!

Yeah, my allowance is typically 500MB. They told me I get 3 months unlimited, but at around 450MB they told me I'm near my limit.
