Blackberries I've seen for a while, but yes, iPhones/iTouches are a lot more common nowadays. There's been a couple of every carriage I've been on recently during rush hour, just that I've seen. Of course, the fact that touches look the same as phones makes it hard to really say.

Jesus H McDonnelly, that really is one of the most sickening things I have ever seen.
But then to be fair, they dig David Hasslehoff and they do like a well designed bit of machinery in Munchen. Maybe they get paid extra every time they say "woo!".
I'd be "woo"ing lots too, if that were the case, and to hell with dignity.

No, shit design would prevent them having miles, clearly they have bundled the UK into Europe. They may give a switch at some point just don't hold your breath. Just moan on the web site.
All the iPhone problems are easily sortable by software, its just their priorities don't seem to be their users ones.

I actually wasn't including the touch. I rarely see 1st gen iPhone's at all these days. You can spot a 3g one easily due to the different earphone (or that virtually every touch/iPhone seems to find an excuse to whip it out and fiddle with it in that special smug Apple fanboy way...).

Trust me its smug. The number of posers I've seen fiddling with it and looking up every so often to see if anyone's watching is amusing!

Ah newbies! Poor things have got here too late to get the ooh thats cool vibe off other people as everyone has seen them by now.
This is the stage where i go off my phone a bit because everyone seems to have one.
Like when the razr went from cool to common as muck and you gotta do the "is that my phone or your's dance".
Its still a great phone that I'm glued to but its no longer an 'expensive shiny wow toy'. Just expensive
There will be a ton of newbies after christmas (pay as you go pressies). Watch the data network struggle under the 'unexpected' (easily predicted) extra demand and piss me off big time.

No it is shit design and the only reason they have miles is cos they use them.
If it not shit design then it can only fall into one of the below excuses. The designers are:
American
Ignorant
Fucking stupid
All of the above.

I don't know why more RTS/strategy games aren't just pouring onto the iPhone/touch, they'd do so well...

It's on the touch too, which is looking more and more likely to be my next mp3 player...

I rarely make phone calls on mobiles. Never really have.
Always more for txting.
Now more so for email and internet.

OK, but if your gonna play Sim City on it then your not going to have much battery left to do any of that.

I've never really got the game thing on phones.
I'd much prefer to stick to gaming on pc and consoles.
But I suppose its the whole thing of one gadget replacing all. How much succes did nokia get with eth ngage ?
Would this be another sign of apple trying to take on Sony?
I means if we look at it now Apple are going head to head with Microsoft in the PC race. That been stale mate for donkeys years. There the Mp3 player battle. Nokia and Sony erciccson, for phone, now sony for games machines. Tom Tom for satnav.
Dont get me wrong I understand that apple are big and they create objects of desire, with a huge marketing machine behind it to make the world think apple invented something rather then redesigned someone else's idea.
BUT surely would you think they are only a McDonald's away from the full set of coporate competition targets and possibly lining themselves up for a fall?
I've also just used some Samsung omnia thing and its wicked. Better camera, GPS maps are cool, touchscreens fine, and a thousand times easier to pick up and use as I've used a smartphone before

They're doing a fairly good job at that to be honest. Taken the number one spot from the walkman brand with the ipod with room to spare. An ever increasing share of the 'premium' laptop and style desktops that the Vaio range occupies, complete with cherry picking a fair few Vaio designers. And the iphone's shaping up to be a decent mobile gaming platform, capitalising on a wii like different control mechanism. The number of ipod touches sold and itunes make it an attractive market to developers.
IIRC Apple's market cap is a fair bit higher than Sony's too, which led to some (hopefully provocative) speculation than Apple could takeover Sony a year or so back

windows mobile's alright mate.
I found the Samsung touchscreen brilliant. The most important thing for me is not putting people on hold with my ear when I use it. Which it didnt do so its alright in my book. Worked the same as the iphone screen as far as I could tell.
