Eye Fone 5

[Pilchards]

How does one trade a new galaxy s II (contract paid off) for an iPhone 5 on O2 network for about £45 a month which is around a 1000 minutes & 1 gig data?


Not sure who does trade for phones these days?

Why do you want iPhone? They're for technologically impaired sheep, Apple fanboys and women.

Oh dear you have done it now

[Thedelldays]

I do like the iPhone but I have jumped to an S3....I can't really see what part of the new iPhone is any better.. Other than talking to other apple products

[solentstars]

I think the galaxy s3 got to be the best phone on the market knocks spots of Apple and looking forward to the new Nokia 4g 920 Windows 8 phone.

I don't like any phone that tell people what phone I've got when writing on an Internet forum.

The days when being able to play Snake on your phone was the epitome of technology.

And then came Space Impact.........

Thos ewho dont like Apple can say what they like, but should acknowledge that froma design, innovation and ease of use perspective, theyhave always been at the forefront of technology... samsung, nokia etc may now be better technologically in some opinion, but the style and concept is a clone of Apples original ideas..

I honestly think that with the loss of Jobs that will now change. He already had to come back out of retirement once to steer the ideological ship back on course. Unfortunately he really isn't the messiah (whatever some fanboys might think) and so it isn't really an option this time round...

The new iPhone seems to have precious little by way of true innovation and seems to concentrate more on evolutionary steps that will make little/no compelling difference to a prospective new target customer. And of course simultaneously has the one big change (the dock) that will royally hack off a lot of existing customers.

I've had iPhones for my last three handsets now and have 'converted' a fair few people onto them. I was eagerly awaiting the 5 launch, but now I think I'll swap to a sim-only deal and wait until I see what the full Win8 Nokias are looking like.

Disagree.
It's for people who like it simple and don't care about money !

Fair points, the doc being a biggy - although I daresay it will be about 10mins before someone has lanched a simple converter to allow the 5 to b placed in all 3/4 doc situations... but I guess that is ahrdly the point.

The clever thing about Apple has been they invented markets - I remmeber the Ipad launch and the consensus was it was pretty pointless...yet... time will tell as to whether without Jobs, Apple will still have the will power to take these risks that create new markets rather than responding to perceived market need or 'gaps' in the traditional sense.

Shows what the sheeples are like re Apple

[emerson massey]

And there was me thinking people can buy what they want, based on their own opinion, without being critisised......

[WindsorSaint]

How do you know if someone has an iPad, or an iPhone?

They tell you. Over and over. And over.

[Frank's cousin]

Dont wory about it - goes back to a decison by Jobs NOT to let Microsoft and Bill gates licence the the Apple OS/GUI yonks ago (itself conceptually 'copied' from Xerox Park) - and for years not making the OS code available to more than a select 'creative' set of developers - so all the MS geeks got a tad pished off....

Think Apple also recognised that the majority of Home Computer users are not interested in opening up the insides and fiddling with cards and memory etc, and are greatly influenced by the design asthetic and you cant fault Apple on that score - they are were also always easier to use for the layman - more intuitive...remember the green screen MS DOS machines and C prompts anyone...hidous things despite doing the job and being far cheaper...

On this football forum you have to conform with those that consider they are the elite or else you will be shouted at.

I find people mocking apple fanatics are as bad as apple fanatics now. Both groups bore you to death. Call them sheep because you chose a phone only 500 million people had instead. Well done. I have an iphone because I knew how to use it and didn't want to spend any time thinking about what phone to get. I have hardly any apps and don't especially care what make it is. I'm not quite sure why anyone would want to express themselves through their phone.

Well I guess talking through it might be useful, or a txt maybe?

[Saint in Paradise]

Actually I find it funny at my age to see how all the younger folks want the most up to date gadget and
how they swap from phone to phone. I confess to posting to have a bit of a laugh I don't intend to be
spiteful and as attacking others choices.

I don't care if my phone is out of fashion, doesn't do what these iPhones or Samsung or whatever can do
as all I want is a phone that makes and receives calls and text messages. The rest is totally un-needed by
myself and is also much cheaper. This last point is very important

[aintforever]

I have an iphone, imac and Macbook but do agree that Apple come across as a bunch of assholes.

Hey everyone it's groundbreaking iphone 5, looks exactly like iphone 4 but is a bit thinner and faster. Woopie f@cking do.

O2 is expensive! T-Mobile and 3 from my experience offer the best priced deals! Especially on download quotas.

Giffgaff offers the best value although they are having problems at the moment.

Oh of course, no doubt within a couple of weeks or so eBay will be awash with grey market copy adapters for about a fiver. but even so, at a quick count in my head, I personally have 6 existing charging cables and 3 existing dock devices scattered around various places, and I don't think I'm by any means unusual in that regard.

So I'm still left with the choice of either spending an additional 50 quid or so to get an adapter for each, just so I can use my existing devices (and which doesn't even solve the problem of using other people's devices/cables), or to have to carry an adapter round with me all the time, which will invariably either get forgotten or lost.

Plus as soon as you add an adapter into the mix you are going to get fit issues with legacy devices, worst case scenario the phone wont dock correctly and they aren't going to work, best case scenario it will look ugly as the phone is precariously balanced on an extra little block of plastic.

The thing is, the ubiquitousness of the dock currently is a massive plus point for many. When my contract was up I seriously considered swapping to an Android device, but eventually decided that the (definite) cost savings and (arguable) flexibility benefits weren't worth the hassle in losing the dock and replacing all my chargers, docked devices etc. now iPhone 5 comes along and not only does it remove that crucial benefit, it actually turns it on its head and makes it *easier* to swap to a micro-USB device than changing to a completely new, but still entirely proprietary, connector.

Why does anyone want an iPhone over a Galaxy S2 or S3 ?

Much inferior product. Much worse battery endurance. Awful.

And after Apple have behaved recently in the Californian courts, I am never purchasing one of their products again.

Apple shares will tumble at this devastating news.

Nothing is going to stop them taking over the non-Chineses speaking world anyway.

This is true. I would have gone giffgaff on my 4S, but didn't have money upfront for handset so went t mobile

What issues are GiffGaff having at the moment - I haven't come across anything and my service has been great since day 1 (apart from when O2 stuffed their network)

Yeah, agree.

Giffgaff is excellent

[mdearlove]

Out of curiosity I had a look on GiffGaffs site and lo and behold there is a whole consultation going on about changing pricing. Looks like they want to hike their prices by 30% for those currently using their £10 good bag, or alternatively restrict data use to 750MB for the same group.
