well i have been putting some more music on the iphone and had to delete some as it was full, as well as a load of the crap apps that i never use anyhow, got the 16 gig one, music being one of the main reasons i got it in the first place, ie to use it as a player, i am still impressed with my 3gs, even if it is old hat now, it costs me 15 quid a month, you can't buy a phone that does what this does for that little a month, so no reason to change. Deep purple sound rather good on it

lol not just in reply to your post pal but if I quoted the lot I'd be here all night. Why does someone have to be obsessed with the shiney or the image to buy apple? I fell in love with my ipod after the initial "waaaa its crap cos its something new and I dont know how to use it" phase. So some time last year the screen had cracked following a mountain bike wreck not too long after that my phone was up for renewal I thought why not get the iphone. The iphone at the time cost me £80 which is a damn site less than the replacement ipod would have cost so I combined 2 devices plus recon I saved my self a few quid. Not everyone buys them because they're apple, some people just actually prefer the product.
Note: I'd been brand faithful to samsung for my previous 3 mobile phones but having had the U600 replaced 3 times due to faults I knew my 4th was defo going to be something different.

Personally I cant see why soemone would pay the £500/£600 for something that'll be worth £200 if they waited for a few weeks but sadly somepeople do belive the hype.

The one thing worse that an apple fanboy is someone that is anti apple,

Yeah some people like apple and too buy they brand, get the new bit of kit every year.. so what!
Its no worse than bikers buying the latest and greatest set of leather or lid every year.

But the anti-apple people just bug me so much more, they never stop going on saying how stupid xyz is and make stuff up about a product they have never even used.

"Tablet PC by apple is a completer pointless idea"....... 6 months later they buy an android one and don't shut up about how good it is.

"Apple computers are full of bloatware"......... Yeah rite, not sure which apple these people have ever used LOL

In fact on the computer side nothing is worse than windows 7 fanboys (self proclaimed computer experts), saying how much better 7 is than vista it etc, when in reality it uses more memory and is basically vista with a different name.

Apples make high end products, people will always be jealous, whats worse is when people i used to work with used to have a dig at me about "wasting" my money on high end computer, yet these people smoked 20 fags a day.

Haha

The win 7 battalion are laughable, I used the full release and within 20 minutes it turned into vista (warning messages every 2 seconds), vista is better than 7 tbh if you clear the bloat processes off and turn the warning messages off.

"Windows 7 was my idea"- F*** off!

Well I've been using lucid lynx for a good few months now and I don't think it's crashed yet, can't remember if it's ever chucked a warning message?

No script errors yet?
I may put a 3rd partition and have a play with linux properly. Is it better or the same as ubantu?

lynx is the last ubuntu release, there's a new one out since.

There's one annoying fault that keeps cropping up in that the power button keeps disappearing, however dell helpfully provide a spare on the front of the case so that's no issue. Only reason I still have windows on the computer at all is for solidworks.
