I just dont get it.
why do people invest so much money in a phone???
get a regular cheap phone, a nice tablet if u need to surf the internet and a good camera to shoot nice pictures with and you'll still have plenty of money left to save.
Instead, people buy into things which are "popular" and a majority never uses all the functions anyway. in Europe this thing costs close to 700 euros (!)

          dogs are barking but the caravan moves on :)

          Apple release 1 phone in a year. Why all of you are so worried? Android releasing 20-30 phone in months. Calm down android fans. One phone makes for you so many problems? :)

                Welcome to backward land, starring the new iPhone5 - 24mth contract c£1100, plus c£79 for the handset, 8 million handsets to sell this by weekend... what's that? recession? what's one of them? one of the few things I know people can get more of this year compared to last year is "benefits"! For who, the taxpayer?

Android has almost 70% share doesnt it . That is still a big lead compared to 17% of apple .
