if you have a blackbury you don't need an iphone.

hidiously expensive. you will be tied into an 18 months contract, you have to go with o2, it's a gadget that you don't need to shell out on in the current economic climate.

Well I larve my Iphone. I can use it as an ipod for running. It's got the most splendid text function and it looks fab. I keep mine in a pretty little pouch to make sure it never gets a scratch. (Although DD has grabbed it and dropped it a few times.)

payg is horridly expensive, but I think you can use data with it - look at their website, should tell you.

minorbird, that's why I want one - so I can use it to go running. I normally take my ipod but now due to scary incident over the weekend I need to take a phone with me, but can't run without music. So thought this would be great. Shame it's sooooo expensive but where there's a will there's a way!

Dp got one at the weekend. It was love at first sight.

He's never stroked me the way he strokes that thing...

Yes Hog, it's ideal for running, although its not as easy as a standard phone to make a call (in an emergency situation) because you have to go through several screens first but it's just nice to know you have it with you. They are expensive but you will love it in equal measure!
