thx for your help

*Good reception is not evident in UK

Although the iPhone is a great phone, you should hold on until the summer for v3 iPhone

I don't think apple is adding any new hardware, just software, and iPhone users get the software upgrades for free.

I have the older iPhone and use it all the time, I recommend it as well. Has the best and most responsive screen by far imo plus the app store is sweet...

There will be a new phone in the summer too

I have a palm Centro. But I really like the Palm treos

something functional and not too ugly for it's price.

then, spend the rest of the money in vegas.

You could always try the G1/Android, right now it's better than the iPhone. I'm not sure how the iPhone 3 will turn out, but I prefer the G1/Android right now.

I'm afraid you're right, it's just an iPhone 3.0 software update, with some pretty damn cool things, but nothing to improve battery life.
And I've got the iPhone and I live in England, not to mention I basically live in Hampshire (boarding school), Petersfield where you get some of the worst reception in England, and I still get better reception with O2 then other people get. And I think that the texting is great, but I suppose it's how you do it (and it is qwerty...)

As for battery, yeah if you're making a demanding phone you need a superior battery, but most of the battery usage actually just comes from the awesome apps on it, if it's used like a phone the batteries not THAT bad...

Now where's my 2 cents?

For something less expensive...Samsung's Rant is nice. J2ME support, customizable homescreen, you an make it have news updates, financial updates, all kinds of crap on your home too (provided you buy internet service, like a data plan). It has a QWERTY keyboard and a regular keypadin the front. Take a look at it! Also, the camera is pretty nice too.

But if you have the money G1 is better. I like it.
