smack retina I meant lol.

Bloody hell Matt you really hate apple haha, it's personal preference.

Because I've used this phone so long all other phone screens seem bitty/pixilated.

As for web browsers there are many available.

The camera is awesome too.

I have flash on mine wink
Only thing I hate is the damn txt predicting on it mad

Matty you are the "HardCore" user who has to have maximum control over how your phone/systems work. It's like your Lewis Hamilton and we are go cart racers, your want the best you can get from your machine and you have the technical knowhow how to adjust everything. We just want to get in and press go and everything work smile for "us" it's the "best" for our owner user experience reasons. No technical this and that.. Just download an App and off we go. P.S jailbreaking is a must!!! wink

Im not debating that wheels, the iPhone really did set the bar in terms of simplicity, and it helped bring smartphones to the masses, before it, smartphones were as you say, mainly something geeks picked up and used.

Ste, I far from hate Apple, I love OSX, it's a wonderful, if somewhat limiting OS, for instance. But I do have reservations about how people (and media) are fooled by the Apple marketing machine, into thinking everything they do is somehow new, everything the create is is somehow the best, and they can do no wrong. The BBC is a prime example of how well the marketing machine works, there isnt a day goes by where the BBC technology pages don't have something to praise Apple for; and yet, we hear very little when it comes to other significant or dominant technology software/hardware. I do however admire (as should Microsoft, RIM, Nokia and Palm/HP et al) the ease at which the machine operates, and the destructive nature a Steve Jobs announcement can have on their loyal followers and to a degree, the industry.

iPhones are nice, and quite rightly have a loyal following, the only reason id not consider owning one right now, is due to a few limitations that I find with them and I suppose to a degree, my contentedness with WinMo (im sorta don't fix something that isnt broke type of guy); if Apple were to change a few things, it would be on my radar; but thats personal choice. I stand by my argument, that there is no "best phone on the market" as each phone excels in different area's, each phone suits different types of people and different budgets, and no phone can truely hold a reputation of being the best in every area. There is no benchmark phone, simply a mish-mash of various different phones that set the present-day benchmark in maybe a couple of area's, but always ultimately fall short in others.

Just thought I would update this thread, since updating my phone to gingerbread, my phones performance and battery life has improved dramatically. I went back to using an iphone 4 the other day and must say that my samsung is now just as fast, if not faster.

I couldn't believe that the wireless hotspot feature that had been available on android for a while and uses your data plan, it is a chargeable service on iphone. Costing up to 15 a month
