HI folks, would appreciate your thoughts,

i mainly want it for
1- a phone first of all ( thats novel in todays phones )
2- i want to play hi quality video content for showreels etc
3- fairly easy to use and isn't going to crash when i need it most.has anyone got any other phone they would recommend? or is their a new phone on the market,

I can definitely warn against any of the HTC phones... Ive gone through 3 different models over the years, and I will never get another one. The Touch Diamond killed any excitement i have towards windows mobile based phones. Such a fucking piss off cunt ass dick hole of a letdown.
- please, dont hold back, say what you feel.... hahahaThe_archer
- cheers for that, i was condsidering the HTC touch HD, willtread with caution on that oneThe_archer

plenty of iphone threads on here listing the plus's
ive got one and have contributed to these threads so i'm not going to repleat myself. use the filter!bottom line, i wanted a phone for similar reasons and went for the iphone and havent regretted it.
with all the apps and games you can get for it you start to use it as more than just a phone. im not much of a game player but ive found the games and puzzles excellent for bored 5 mins while waiting for trains etc.
you can download an app which turns the phone into an external drive - that will allow you to play movies and view loads of file formats like word/pdf etc.
my mum had a blackberry for a while and i didnt like it.
the great thing about the iphone is its soooo easy to use.
at xmas my cousins little girl (about 6?) just picked up the iphone and started using it and playing with the apps. the same couldnt be said for usability if a kid of the same age picked up a blackberry or nokia.

iphone, but wait for the next gen.

I've had the G1 since December. The coolest thing about it is that it can multitask, but it eats the battery. When everything's on and looking for updates, I'm lucky if the battery lasts the whole day. Otherwise, it lasts about 2 days. The camera is great, I much prefer typing on its keyboard than using the screen (which you can do in some apps) and so far there are some fun and productive apps in the market. But I'd consider waiting for a g2, if that's what they call it.

I hate my iphone if i go to a festival.. ok, you can take pics with it, but battery is like 2days.. 3 when you are lucky.
no idea about g1 battery..I think we need a new kind of battery invention.. one that lasts a week.

I have just got the new XDA Zest from O2, windows mobile 6.1, takes a bit of tweaking to get nice but I really like it, super fast and syncs with everything nicely.
Having said that, I've only got it cause it was a free upgrade, apparently I can still hop to the iPhone for a small fee which is okay, tho I am not a fan of the iPhone generally, the main plus with it is youtube and media etc, which I have no desire to use.

+1 for the palm pre .. haven't used it yet, but it look v nice

just buy the G1

I have an iPhone 3G and it's a completely love/hate relationship. The lack of a decent mail app, multiple open apps and elementary actions like copy/paste are so freaking irritating.
I'm switching to the Palm Pre as soon as it is available.

Jailbreak it, brenton. There are apps to take care of your gripes.
Clippy - system wide clipboard. Surprisingly good.

Copiercin - a clipboard of sorts, adds copying contacts feature Clippy lacks.
Backgrounder - lets you run apps concurrently in background.

iPhone. No doubts.
