My contract was renewable in August and I initially decided that the "Samsung Galaxy S" was the phone for me. the problem with that was that being an Android phone, it would have meant effectively buying again all the apps for that operating system that I had already bought for my iPod Touch (and which work on an iPhone at no extra cost). The clincher was that the iPhone 16GB was the same amount each month as the Samsung phone, albeit the iPhone had to be purchased but for a reasonable amount for what it gave me. (Well that's what I convinced myself anyway!!!)
I've had it a month now and it's great, although having had an iPod Touch first does diminish the "WOW" factor. As a result some of it is no more than "Hmmm" as it enhances the iPod experience, but no more.
BUT it does have some stuff that is awesome. The phone is simple to use which may sound obvious but with my last Nokia, the hardest thing to do was actually make a phone call!! In addition it has "Facetime" which it is no more than video calling, but as it uses wifi is a free and novel way to talk to your friends in America. (Well it would be if someone kept his iPod and wifi on *cough* Gibbs *cough*).
It also has a 5 mega pixel camera (with flash) which also shoots HD video. Again all simple to use and top quality.
Oh and it looks and feels wonderful, like a beautiful, shiny phone/media jewel thing.
But be warned, it will also use up one months whole data usage in a day if you watch Kylie on the BBC news app and don't close it down properly!!!
