Professionalism is paramount. I won't even deal with a website that has spelling mistakes.
It is clear to me, Snazy, that for all the time you've been fighting over the qualities of different phones, it IS the iPhone you want but would struggle to show yourself here again.

Haha, I can honestly say no to that. I respect Apple, but after my experience with the iPad I can say iOS is not for me. I do however like to keep my hand in with all devices as and where I can.

For me Blackberry is still number 1. Ticks all the boxes.

I'll understand when your ***** have grown to a size to finally admit SN can't influence your decision any longer.

Just because Apple users throw money away like it is going out of fashion, doesn't make it the best phone, it just means the users are planks!

Jack reminds me of the short tale "The Emperor's New Clothe's "

He believes everything Apple tell him, but is too pig s**t thick to realise that he has been suckered.

I have spend 30p so far in the market, and the rest of the things I have wanted so far have been free.
I want to know where the traffic is, not how pretty you can make it look.
Function over form for me any day (although that said im surprised at how sharp and refined Android has become since my last encounter with it.

Hardly, I commented on the layout/design of the website, Kraut, regardless of it being Android related.

I'm right and you all know it. I already spoke to two people who paid for their gift, first money they spent, tight *******s, the rest of the time they don't care if it's well made or they're looked after, it's cheap innit.

I bought that yesterday. Fantastic.

However, just noticed that the Apps have changed so you may have missed the boat. Some good new ones listed though.

It's a revolution, the gift was users ability to spend cash. Come on, open up your tightwads.
