You would   all collapse laughing if you saw my/our mobile.   I hate the things and only have ours for  an emergency.  My stock reply to any text messages is OK   ... I can just about manage that     .   It's funny really, I love gadgets, but the mobile 'phone has never held a great appeal.

I appreciate that smartphones can be very useful for people on the move, but this sort of hysteria over a new model is quite ludicrous.

all very well for those that want / need  !!  but I,l stick to me Nokia brick     

[roseway]

Would that be a SmartBrick?

All this mass hysteria about iAnything drives me nuts, they are no better than all the others, in fact Samsung now outsells all of them. I think people using IPads as cameras look really silly, especially the large ones.

I have absolutely no time for iWotsit devices . . . To me they are just a status symbol for the iWant generation! 

[Scottiesmum]

I don't mind what anyone has -  BUT when I get messages from Ipads or the like  they always end with  'sent from my Ipad'  that drives me potty   ....  so now I put  'sent from my PC in my snug'

The price is ridiculous!!!!!  The price of Accessories is even more ludicrous.....
and £160 for the difference between 16GB & 64GB is one great big rip off. 

Some people must have money to burn :/

they always end with  'sent from my Ipad'  that drives me potty

Its there by default and the device adds it..  bet some people arent aware of it being added because they dont see it

I wonder how many of these new i phones are financed via the likes of Wonga etc.

I agree with Mr B-Cat.

Its a generation of I want it and I want it NOW !!!

I bet quite a few brickies would like some of those..a brick that lays itself
