Sweet.

So someone asked me "What is it you do?". I thought about it for a minute. Then I thought about it a little more. All the while I probably looked like I was staring in to space, struggling for an answer. And I was. There was only one response I could really give.

I've gotten some in a small on the grassy knoll near the Butt/path to Catch/The Seafood Restaurant on my Curve. And nowhere else.

Not as amazing as the amount of Red Kola I could get for the same money.

I get coverage at my house down on the links, but generally it's just GPRS that I get. Also, overall signal performance seems down on my n73, but apart from that, I'm in love with it!

Yes, apart from breaking two house rules (offensive and nothing-good-coming-out-of-it), and one of the terms of service (by making out that a) I'm a homosexual and b) homosexuality is stigmatised as bad), this chap seems to have a huge chip on his shoulder. Jealousy almost.

If you have nothing constructive to say, go and post on BBC Have Your Say. I don't mind people criticising the iPhone for its shortcomings (of which there are many, admittedly), but I simply pointed out that I think the iPhone is brilliant. I like my iPhone, I like intelligent discussion triggered by a click-encouraging stimulus. How terrible of me, do please fuck off.

I played around with one in the O2 shop today, and I have to say I was not as impressed as I had thought I might be.

I suspect you'd like it more with all your own stuff on it, and the ability to change the settings. But maybe not.

Probably true.

Also, and this is a problem I have with my XDA Orbit as well, I don't like touch screens all that much. The get so dirty so quickly and I always find myself missing the feel of proper buttons.

I'm waiting for a gen 2 or gen 3 iphone, personally. Remember how the first iPod was a nice idea, lacking follow through (moveable wheel? really?) but the 2nd gen was much closer to an ace product? Same again, that's my theory (and a lot of others' I gather).

Digital condoms, effectively.

I have this amazing contraption that keeps mine clean - it's called the cloth that it came with - not that I could afford the €6.95 anyway, after the preposterous amounts I spent yesterday on the phone!

...Which is the reason I won't buy one of any generation, until they invent a sensible pricing structure: I just can't believe the iPhone could possibly be worth the number of hours of my time I'd have to work to pay for the damn thing under the present regimen.

Ooh, ooh, can I say it? Can I? Yeah?

OK - iPhone bashing begins here. And, hey, don't restrict yourself to iPhones, take a pop at anything made by Apple, get it off your chest, because God knows everyone tends to keep this stuff to themselves the rest of the time.

Well, Lid's iPhone has broken after a grand total of 2 days.

For everyone who didn't get one, that should make you feel better. I know it does me.

The cloth is also all well and good, but repeated wiping of the screen is bound to lead to scratching eventually. A stray bit of grit in the cloth and there's your nice scren ruined.
