Time to get an iPhone
26 Answers
OK its about time. I want to get an iPhone. I have a 'normal' mobile Nokia at the moment. I want something easy to use, to make calls easily obviously, good camera, battery lasting a fair while, what would you recommend? I have an Orange contract phone, at the moment I am paying £15 per month and don't want to spend a lot more ... also do I need to take out any insurance in case it breaks?? Any advice gratefully received, I have never used an iPhone and am not technical at all .. thanks all.

You can disable cellular data when you are out if you dont use your internet, email or notifications while you are out. this will prevent your ISP charging you the £1 per day
on an iphone you would press
settings>general>network>switch off cellular data.
of course that applies to pay and go, I would imagine with a contract you will have already paid for internet as part of your tariff

Smurfchops, it's unclear when you say "iPhone" whether you really mean an Apple iPhone, or simply a smarthphone.
I have had a Samsung Galaxy S for almost two years and will be upgrading to an S3 later this year. Son has an iPhone 4S. Both are great but the Android (Samsung) comes at a lower cost.
If you really want an iPhone, though, then get an iPhone. We paid £299 for son's iPhone 4S, which means he pays an £18.50 tariff every month - that's on O2. I'm sure you could do similar or even better with Orange. It's a question of balancing initial price, contract length and taiff. You can get an iPhone "free" if you're prepared to pay £40+ per month for the tariff.

Tinkerbell - I couldn't agree with you more.
I have a contract with "3" for £35/month
I don't call or text much but find the unlimited
Internet invaluable. News papers - football - cricket
movies - live tv it's all there. My other half uses a
TomTom satnav where you pay for the updates ,
mine's a free app. which updates itself and is better.
Play your music through the iPhone and run the satnav
Inconjunction , couldn't be better.
I don't know anyone that owns an IPhone who's not
thrilled to bits with it.

Surely the tech of what you iPhone owners speak is app based and therefore available on other smartphones?
I own an HTC (but barely use it) and it was available at a fraction of the cost of an iPhone and does everything I could wish for and more.
I get that iPhones are cool but in comparisons rarely come top as 'best phone'.
