I would recommend getting a casemate, silinone inner with hardened outer case, I had one on my desire HD and now have one on my Galaxy S2, wouldn't have anything different. Cost about £25 at carphone warehouse, I dropped my desire HD in a car park, it skidded accross the carpark and survived without a scratch or mark on it

in the next 12 months your gonna see a shift, with Windows 7.5 Mango the business side will shift to more WM and Apple, Blackberry will be strong beacuse old school wont let go, but these recent hiccups have damaged them.

RIM are good in enterprise where the company doesnt run Microsoft tech but the cost of the BES service is expensive and WM and active sync is pushing it out,

For the consumer Android and Blackberry cos you get free messanger and cos its cheap rich boys will have WM and Iphone.

But im coming from a business point where i see the main shift not many android where i work, maily BB apple n WM

I wouldn't want to keep it in one of those, its a bit like buying a Ferrari and sticking loads of plastic bumper strips allover it to save it from knocks and car park dings.

I've had a very thin leather case for my E71 and it has remained as new for 2 years. It might not be as strong as a hard case but it still does a reasonable job of dampening drops should there be any.

RIM have a free cut down enterprise product, BES Express, which works along side "full fat" BES in the enterprise environment. BES Express will allow people with personal BB to activate and connect an Enterprise environment which will significantly reduce costs. They also have in the pipeline a bolt-on to BES that will allow it to manage iPhones, Windows phone and Android phones too in much the same way as BB.

a lleather case is fine until you take the phone out to use it i guess it comes back to iphone users thinking the phone is a fashion statement.

Its a phone not a ferrari

SRSport

My apologies, I thought that people would be able to understand the example. I'll try and explain it for you.

A Ferrari is something that looks good and is designed well, like an iphone.
Trying to preserve the appearance of the Ferrari by putting something on it that looks ugly in the first place defeats its own objective.
For me this is like putting an iphone in a rubbery, plastic case that it stays in.


Why is that? I don't see it as a fashion accessory in the sense that the only reason I have it is to impress people and to be fashionable, there are enough of them around now as to not impress anyone I would have thought.

As I have already mentioned I appreciate things that are designed and built well, using good materials, who wouldn't? I don't think that means that iphone users think that the phone is a fashion statement. I went in open minded and to be honest all other phones looked rubbish in comparison. Thats just my opinion and what helped me to choose but of course this is subjective. Best not to assume to know why people buy them I would think.

Don't fall for the marketing, there's a big difference between shipped and sold.

I called myself on my friends iPhone using Siri over Skype, so no it's not true.

There are a couple of features that are US only, but to say it doesn't work is very much wrong. Saying that I doubt it'll ever work for northerners and people from Birmngham, I can't understand them and I'm British.

Exactly the same as me that. I wanted to like the Galaxy S2, I had heard great things about it and it would have cost me far less than the iPhone 4, but the phone was just too bloody big! I think the iPhone 4 is as large as i'd like to go at the moment and it does exactly what I want a phone to do.
