Had a change from my usual iPhone upgrade and went for the Samsung galaxy S3. Cracking phone but bought an iPhone 5 after 3 days for me personally you can't beat an iPhone.

Have my S3 for sale now in white if anybody is after one.. It's like new. Want around £350 if anybody is interested just give me a shout

ITK FACT

I have had a mobile for at least 15 years and you know what, I have never once thought, "I wish my phone would be able to view an Excel spreadsheet".

Well, you aren't using it correctly.

like I said above - a layer 8 issue... AKA an ID-10T error...

You've never lived until you've experienced the delights of stunning your workmates by banging off a quick spreadsheet. I know, I did it. My boss, the next morning, just asked "Why?" and I dissolved into giggles that lasted for hours. A truly liberating experience.

Did anybody mention spreadsheets

Keep on, keeping on

We had terrible problems with microsoft exchange email and calendar sync to Blackberry where I worked last. Terrible.

Our IT dept hated them, cos every 5 minutes they'd be trying to fix someones phone when the who calendar had been lost, or worse still the sync was lost at the calendar still there but two seaparate copies, so people have meetings spread across two.

Same things happened with emails.

I'd leave it spotty... BWFCi won't rest until he's been able to tell us not only how fab his phone is - but that it is also better than yours - and that if you are happy with your phone - then you are wrong and you shouldn't be - because compared to his phone it is utterly crap.

[General Mannerheim]

i think his frustration stems from folk dismissing the iPhone having never had one. Were still to find anyone who has used a blackberry, android and an iPhone for a certain amount of time, who dosent class the iPhone a league above the rest?

Or perhaps BWFCi doesn't really care what phone you've got, doesn't give a rats ass about any brand, but was just stating an issue he's previously experienced with a particular make of phone, that Caps also appears to be experiencing currently.

The ironic thing is that it seems those people who are "anti brand" are getting their knickers firmly in a knot whereas the rest of us don't give a shit either way.

Couldn't care less who makes my phone, tablet, PC, TV etc I'll buy what suits my needs best at the time. And have done for a long time now.

Had a Blackberry and am now on my second iphone, which I prefer immeasurably (because I am a clumsy so and so, which it allows me to be ).

Hate to say this General, but I've had an Android, an iPhone, and currently a Windows phone (not had a Blackberry), and I much prefer the current Windows phone.

Wife has iphone and blackberry. Hates the iphone with a vengeance. She's trying to get her work to go back to Blackberrys.

I think you'll find she is totally deluded and doesn't actually think that at all! I mean - how could she??

The only one who has any sort of issue is you and bobo.

Rest of us buy what we prefer and feels suits our needs.

You seem to be getting your undergarments in a twist over nowt. Mind that's not exactly unusual...

i like my blackberry..
But i've never had an iphone, so can't compare the two.

My first mobile had a pully-outey aerial which made me look cool
