[quote user="vernonkay1984"]ido agree with you. 5yrs is absurd. i think ps3 said they wouldnt drop their prices for some time and suddenly they did. the price plans are naff too. i think a major baddie is that it doesnt support gps. it has live maps of your location but doesnt track movement. it should have that and i would get it. 35 quid/pm min 269 up front. so basically if you dont spend much time on ure phone its a RIP OFF. but i really want one. the way i see it if i wanted a cheap phone and got a good ipod seperately it would end up costing me as much. thats why i may get one.[/quote]
It may be that a dedicated ipod, e.g. the Classic, has better sound quality than the phone, but I'm not sure. Regardless, the iphone is sex on a stick and anyone who's into gadgets is going to have a hard time resisting... even with ridiculous price plans. Which is, of course, what Apple are counting on...
