Only go for the iPhone if you're a follower and a sheep. Apple have lost it.

Go for HTC, the best you can get.

Depends what you like mate. If your happy with using the phone as it comes out of the box, iPhones are great

If you are like me and rather flash the phone and use custom Roms and Kernels, then get a Android phone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S and using a Custom Rom called F1 and it is super fast, plus if you get bored or that, there are tons of different roms and kernels to use.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2. Dual core processor so loads faster than the IPhone 4 and comes with 75% free Apps whereas the IPhone only has 25%. Does everything the IPhone does and also comes with the extra of HD videos.   It's a great phone and loads more reliable than HTC. I know a few who are on there 2nd and 3rd HTC's due to reliability.

As you can see everyone has an opinion on this as to what IS best. Remember, it's only their opinion and they find suits them.

Go into the store, and for the love of god DON'T listen to what the sales guy pitches and play with all the phones that look interesting and pick one you like.

Personally I'd get the HTC Sensation, beautiful 4.3" screen, awesome interface, f@cking quick and blows most others away.

When my phone was up for upgrade last month i was gonna get an iphone.

then saw  the optimous 3d

in the end i got that. only thing the iphobe can do which mine cant is sync with itunes

things mine can do which the iphone cant. Iplayer app not available on iphone (can only get an app which is basically a link to the website)( though both phons have apps you cant get on each other) . play 3d videos. show 3d pictures. convert 2d pictures to 3d. Take 3d pics and video. flah player on the internet. hdmi slot.

possibly more but i cant think.

i love the phone and even onne of my mates who has a iphone said hed rather have mine

personal preferance though. go try out a few phones and see what you like

Is a good phone, just massive and the 3D is a bit of a gimmick. I wasnt overly impressed by it. Very quick though.

yepp have to admit it is a bit of a big phone, but doesent bother me, not asif your pockets are the exact size of an iphone and nothing bigger will fit in :D

and the 3D does take a while to get used to but once used to it, its pretty cool being able to watch 3d films and things like that. plus it can do all the stuff a standard phone like the galaxy s can.

I dont see why you would really want to watch a film on a phone?!? Rather have a tablet for longer journeys etc.
I use my phone for basic functions: calls/texts/emails/web/maps/music/taking pics

I think there is very little that seperates them, So long as it preforms them functions with ease them im a happy guy and for that reason I have an iphone 4, as Im always on itunes at work and love the ease of use.
Dont have a single complaint in regards to the iphone!  :cool:

Ive got a HTC HD7 and love it. My iPhone4 was a pile sh!te so sold it and got this, wouldn't ever go back.  All our music at home is now done with Zune which we find so much better but at the end of the day it's all down to preference. Get what suits you best not something because everyone else has one

Hang on for a little while if you want an iPhone 4, Apple are bringing out a cheaper iPhone 4. Basically the same phone but without the expensive, fragile and easy to scratch front and back panels. It will have plastic instead, so will be tougher, lighter and cheaper, but still the same iPhone 4.

However, if you have brain of your own, go to a shop and try some phones out.

Love my HTC Wildfire, works great, does everything I need, cheaper and smaller than an iPhone. But its all down to personal taste.

Oh really, when did Steve call you and tell you this?

Did no one tell you? He quit.

It is one of the rumours anyway. They may do it just as the iPhone 5 comes out so as to have a cheaper offering for customers who don't want to fork out hundreds on a brand new 5.
