1. the new BB storm 2 is out on vodaphone only. and i had a play with it and was VERY impressed.
2. the nexus one (google phone) is very good, but still behind the iphone
3. BB cost a fiver a month more because of the registation on the BB network, however that does get you instant emails and browsing.
4. BB bold 9700 (my phone) is almost faultless, only thing is the internet is sometimes a bit slow.
5. satio is crap!! all new SE phones are until the next update is available.
6. all of your above apps are available on the BB, facebook, instant emails from whatever carrier (i have my work emails fired through from a remote server)
7.my mate has the HTC and is very happy with it. the touch screen is very good
IMO. i would get the Iphone off contract, SIM free, for say, 300 quid and then get a better tarriff from someone else (or keep what you got) a new contract means:- the phone costs over 150 then you have to sign up to a 24 month contract at £40p/m. so in effect your paying £1110 for the Iphone. is it really that good????
i pay £23.50 for a 12 month, 700 minute, unlimited texts and emails and unlimited browsing. and i will not be giving that deal up very quickly
