Apple for me, but a heap of my mates love there Android phones.
So personal preference really, what you like the looks of and feel?
Both great
aye you said it................ but saying that I had the same trouble choosing a phone as your going through. Still ended up choosing the HTC over the others though because it was the better phone for me and I get coverage where I need it most........ in the city and semi rural areas. At the end of the day Snicko, it's just down to personal preference................ Go down the the phone shop and try a few of them out. The place I got mine from had working phones which they let you have a play around with, not too many places seem to do that for some reason. You just need to decide on what you actually need the phone for and base your decision on that criteria........... happy huntingQuote:

iphone 4 here
Love it! Love it! Love it!
If your coming from a world of old phones then i get the concern over the Freeze up, Welcome to iphone! mine has never frozen, i have never had to take the battery out to reset, used to do that a few time a week on the old Nokia.
I have had my iphone since Dec last year and it has been turned off maybe 3 times since then, every time with a flat battery. It is on 24/7, i am a high end business user and make $1400 worth of calls a month and love it. It has a drop out occasionally but dont they all.
Put a case on it, put a screen protector on it, dont buy either of those things from anywhere but ebay.
The iphone 4s has an upgraded processor that is much faster, an upgraded OS that does a lot more, i will upgrade my OS on my 4 to suit that OS.
The loud speaker will work fine for a hands free and is easy to function.
If your like me and dont have blue tooth in your car then i can HIGHLY Recommend the Blueant Q2 hands free!!! Big Fan. i have owned 6 or 7 normal blueants and they are a throw away after 12 months, this is awesome! I can hear it, no degradation of line quality to me or too my client, crystal clear always, no echo.
Blueant Q2
iphone 4s every day of the week, the Android and the World is still playing catchup and will forever, Apple is soo far ahead of the game the world all buy their product and break it down to figure out how to make a copy.
iphone for me!!!
Love IT!!!
If your not convinved, check out this feature on iphone 4.
her name is siri :)

very lucky because the LCD is ok, just the glass cover.
All I can recommend is spend the extra money and get a cover for it. These new touchscreens are easy to break. That was one good thing about the old brick Nokias, hard to break!
i drop my htc all the time never broken the screan but i have a silicon cover that wraps around the back ot the phone and comes around a little higher then the screen i have droped mine flat on its face b4 but i think its the cover that takes the hit.Quote:

Anyway I'm iPhone all the way and I may head to the drunkin rambling thread now hahHahahahahaha good luck with it snicko :-)
which ever phone you end up getting, I can highly recommend getting an Otterbox cover for it...... comes in 3 sections - screen protector, a silicone inner and a hard shell, tis bloody marvelous
Haha, this thread still going!!! LOLOL
Are you any more confused or you closer to making a decision yet Snicko???
Hahaha was doing my head in but yes I have made a decision. When the phone arrives I will put up a pic.
then your going to do your head in trying to work out how to use itQuote:

It really came down to coverage.
None of the HTC had rural coverage so it was a no brainer in the end.......the iphone was the best of the rest. Now I just have to work out how to use it!! (Pretty isn't it?? ) hahahaha

Now a word on accessories... dont be fooled, under no circumstances should you buy a screen saver, cover, case, charger, usb, car charger,etc,etc,etc from anywhere but ebay, buy straight out of Hong Kong or china or get ripped off. No Brainer, thats where all the "kiosk" style shops in the arcades get their stock!! Cheap! they mark it up 2000% (not kidding).
Enjoy!
ummmmm, well, yes.............. very nice Snicko lol................ but I guess the main thing is, you were able to find something that was able to give you a bit more coverage and that's the main thingQuote:

Then the Touch screen function broke and the phone did not accept a touch. After a few months break and the Bluetooth. While I was wondering whether I need bluetooth and whether to send it for repair, the speaker broke. When I spoke with someone I could only hear it through the loudspeaker, but this way all people around me can hear the conversation. Since last break, I use the phone only as a GPS.
The phone has weak hardware.
A friend also has HTC, but another model (not remember it), and she complained that the phone has a constant need of repair.
hope you understand - google translation :)
