I remember the days when only business (wo)men had blackberries lul

oh and recursion about my iPhone contract, its hardly crap
600 Mins + 500 Text's + Ulmt Internet - £24.50 a month

Yeah I know!
I get 12000 texts for £10 p/m but it's pay as you go and then I get 10% of my top-up back PLUS a free surprise!

[ElliottThompson]

is that o2 that gives you the suprise?

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah and on top of all that I get rewards which build up over time when you top-up. Once I got it and it was like 20 quid!!!

Oh yeah just remembered, the woman on the phone the other day told me when you top up, you build up a discount to put towards a new phone .

[StefanWolves]

Surprised rule.

@Elliot, how did you get that for £25.00? I pay for £35.00? bit of ** their?

[ElliottThompson]

Yeah it's because my sister is the PA for one of the vice president's of mcdonalds uk (lol) anywhooo one of her perks is 30% off of o2 contracts for some reason , apparently it can be used up to 6 times a year.

you really are fighting a losing battle..

No everyones ganging up on me, recursion can't be bothered to fight much and you lot are ignoring every comment that makes the Android OS and HTC Hero in general, better.

I jailbroke mine today and it did take less than a minute. Its literally download blackra1n, run it and youre done.. no patches, no other downloads. and if the screen breaks, you can still connect it to your computer and restore it. and if you say, well what if it breaks altogether, well by that time, apple wouldnt bother trying to fix and would just give you a new one.

They can still take out the HDD and what if it's just the connector the breaks? And the point was that it took '10 seconds'. Also somebody has just released a virus which no affects 90% if JailBroken iPhones and it will rickroll you if you get it . JB iPhones are currently safe, not secure.

since when are we locked to safari? there are apps with browsers.. as for texting, theres other apps too.

Oh I'm sorry, I can see that Apple have now recently eased up on it (Most likely to fend off Android). But does the Texting actually negotiate everything or does it just send it the the texting app and that sends it? Also can you get apps which can block phone calls e.t.c.?

Seriously, maybe you should research the millions of apps the store has before you go on and make a comment..

There's only 100,000 and the Android market is at 12,000 which is a major catch up in comparison to 6-9 months ago.

Im not ignoring every comment. I even comment directly back..

by the time theyve taken the HDD out and checked to see if its jailbroken, they wouldve sent a new one.

the texting part, im not exactly sure what youre getting at. Who cares if it does send it to the actual texting app? Its a text. It cant exactly go through a different provider.. (and i dont know if im honest, im happy with the way my phone texts..) and as for blocking phone calls, you can jsut ring up O2 anyway. Im not sure if there is an app, there might be, i dont know.

Oh im sorry about that slight over-exaggeration. just the way that your going on about the vast quantities of apps available, your logic mustve slipped in. Sorry.

You make me laugh, hard. They would not go to the trouble of taking the HDD out, really they wouldn't. It did take 10 seconds, literally. Sorry, but did you just call a rickroll a virus? it is NOT a virus, and it won't affect 1% of jailbroken iPhone users, it'd be lucky if it affected 0.01%. You make me laugh, cause you haven't really thought any of this through, jailbreaking does not affect anything to do with the iPhone, all it does is take advantage of a floor in the iPhones bootroom, it doesn't mess with anything else, so really it's actually just as safe as a non-jailbroken iPhone, if not - SAFER.

Yes, we can get all those apps, either be it via Cydia, or AppStore, or even RockApp. Choice is amazing and only leads to one thing - the consumer benefiting.

The android OS is good
The iPhone is good

Why do you guys need to defend your phones so much... obviously you all chose the phone you wanted so surely someone else's opinion on it does not matter. I chose an iphone purely because I had an outdated first gen ipod touch meaning I could redownload all my purchased app's again..
This reminds me of the NES vs Sega Megadrive wars... Your side was chosen purely by the console your parents chose to get you for xmas lul

[StefanWolves]

No my choice was chosen on what I've read on the internet, and I was influenced by very good reviews via cnet etc. The only reason I'm continuing to post in this thread is because of this comment from 00chips;

Just got a G2 (HTC Hero), my mum got it for me for good academic performance. I don't care much for phones to be honest, but who can say no to the T3 & Stuff Magazine Gadget of the Year and inclusive internet, oh and the Spotify app runs whilst doing other stuff so it beats an iPhone/iTouch. PS HTC Sense is awesome.

When he comes back and actually backs up this comment then I will not refrain from posting in this thread.
