can't understand why people want to pay double the price for something that is inferior so say a htc one x or a galaxy s3

Depends what you want Android is too buggy and unreliable for what I want, whereas the Apple just works

Hmm. What chance does the new Nokia have, then?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19491421

It features a 4.5" screen and Windows 8, but sadly owning a Nokia is not cool these days...whereas owning anything Apple is, apparently.

Similar to owning a Vauxhall Omega, in its production days, which was very uncool, whereas owning a BMW was ultra cool (These days read Audi rather than BMW).

Either way brand image often trumps product quality. 

Cost is in it too, with Microsoft, a fee has to be paid by the manufacture to Microsoft. It bumps up the cost, with Apple they effectively give away iOS for free!

Microsoft should asset strip Nokia & brand their own market phones for sale, if they want to do anything in the market. But that's unlikely as Microsoft is a software company.

It's going to be Google vs Apple for some time yet!

First, MS cannot asset strip a company they do not own. Yet. Although I wonder if MS are more likely to buy Gooseberry take on RIM's debts...

Secondly, MS makes more from every Android and iOS sale that they do from WinMo sales 

There is room for 2 good smartphone OSes. Currently, crApple have the loyalty, if not necessarily the best product, so only Android is for the taking. And there are a few contenders more than happy to knock Android off.

Sorry if I offended anyone by the word Great in the so called "text talk" 
What's so different from using something like Gr8 from like, IMO,IMHO,lol,ie,etc,tbh, and the list goes on which is used very often ... Either way sorry it won't happen again

Having access to most of the top phones on market, I still prefer iPhone.

You'd have to not have all your dogs on one lead to buy HTC. Useless pieces of junk, showing how 'spec' marketing doesn't mean the best device.  SIII is, give or take, similar to gayPhone pricing.

I am not a loyal crApple user. I think crApple are a nasty company, with nasty business practices. But then I hold Google in similar regard, with even nastier practices . But until someone releases a reasonable email client from Google's mobile OS, I'm forced to have a crApple phone.

Considering RIM's hardware is rubbish + huge debts, can't see them going that route. All they had was Enterprise Server

Will say one thing though the Galaxy SII is incredibly slim & light 

[OmegaAnglesey]

Will say one thing though the Galaxy SII is incredibly slim & light 

That would be two things then  ...
The Samsung Galaxy SII  I will say one thing about it also "poor build quality & nasty plastics"

It's lightness is achieved by using cheap plastics, the back plate is ultra slim. The build is still way better than a Blackberry though 

[Proz]

Well i have just ran away from crApple after being with them for two or more years .
I jumped into the Samsung Galaxy S3 and so far i can say i havent noticed any "bugs".
The phone in my opinion is far better and will remain far better than even the iphone 5

Just my opinion though

Agreed...    Does anyone know when iOS6 will be released ?

[TheBoy]

All they had was Enterprise Server

Which could easily be integrated into Exchange Server, along with BBM (linking into Lync), creating a very integrated enterprise mobile messaging system.  Whether or not they choose to underpin Gooseberry's OS with WinMo, or simply integrate Gooseberry's unique capabilities onto WinMo, it does make a better buy that Nokia. But it will wait until either is a token cost

As the iPhone 5 has not been seen by anyone yet, thats clearly an invalid comment. The gayPhone 5 may be world changing, for all we know. Doubt it though.


"Better" is not really valid. For me, my old 3GS is "better" than an SIII, as there is no decent email client available for the latter.

For me the S3 is just too big... It's a bit like carrying a mini tablet around I had a HP IPAQ years ago and I thought technology has moved on
