Excellent. I shall have to pop into an Apple store then.

Cheers

does anyone know if the Samsung Omnia is any good, it has a flash and better cam than the i phone, also o2 are trying to make me have an 18 mnth contract with the i phone, saying Apple wont allow them to release them on a 12 mnth,

Thanks

Don't do it, unless you REALLY want a good camera..thats the only thing I can think is better than the iphone

Pretty much what the guy I spoke to in the Regent Street store said today.

However got to go through the motions and have an appointment with of their in-store "Genius's" tomorrow before they'll give me a new one.

I think you will find that they were willing to do that as you were upgrading from 2G to 3G, not because you wanted to go from 8 to 16Gb.

:)

Oh - I thought that was what he was asking.

yeah - they won't let you upgrade a 3g to a bigger disk

Had my appointment with the 'Genius' in the Apple shop today.

He spent 10 mins doing some diognostic stuff with the phone and told me the problem is quite widespread. Sent a load of data to Apple from my phone and then gave me a new one. I didn't even have to show a receipt or anything.

Was pretty impressed with the service.

From my experience, Apple actually seem to keep a record of all the products they produce, even if they are sold through a third party. As long as you're within warranty, they'll fix it.

One of the better companies out there, me thinks.

I get my iphone delivered tomorrow!

After 2 years of using this piece of shite http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_w550-1245.php

I can't wait to feel the difference.

Not sure if you will be impressed or not.

The w550 is widely regarding as one of the only user experiences which is just as good as the iPhone's

Had my iphone for a couple of weeks now, overall very pleased - the only real gripe I have is using the zoom feature in safari, i seem to tap the screen a couple of times and sometimes it zooms other times not - something I am doing wrong?

Will depend on the webpage and if it's completed loading.

Using your finger and thumb to stretch is better, imvho

Yes - as Dave says, the trick is to 'stretch' the picture by putting your thumb and forefinger on the screen and widening or narrowing.

I didn't know about this for a while after I got my IPhone, and like you was frustrated by the tapping to enlarge feature. This doesn't work very well - and of course will only enlarge to a fixed size. By stretching the image, you can resize by any factor.

Thanks Dave and James :)

I'm due an upgrade in March. All things are pointing to an Iphone. I love the look of email and browsing is ace.

But the camera is really holding me back. I have a SE 5MP camera phone at the moment, and don't use a seperate digital camera. The 2MP camera, lack of picture messaging and no flash is really making me think twice.

You don't care there is no drinks holder when driving a Ferrari

You might care if there was no back seat if you were looking for a family car.

They really shouldn't have bothered to put a camera in the IPhone. It's almost useless - and compares starkly with (most) of the other excellent features in the Phone. If a good camera is important to you, then go for something else - or simply carry a dedicated camera in addition.

I wouldn't be without the IPhone. I have had a number of leading edge mobiles before, and none has come close to rivaling this marvellous bit of kit. If you do go for it, I know that you won't regret it.

Oh, and there are drinks holders in Ferraris.

I like a combo.

I wonder how much complication would have been involved for apple to put in a better camera.

Not an award winning one, but one that is at least usable.
