Most things? What can an iPhone do over a HTC out of interest?

You get apps from the market place which is already on the phone.

TBH I think a HTC can do more, even more so out of the box because an iPhone needs jail-breaking to be even semi-decent.

yeah I think your right but a quote from another thread kinda sums it up for me

You will get fanboys both sides but essentialy its like comparing a knife to a fork.. Both have a common use but differ completely.

What a bullshit article.

Basically he just moans about battery life, which I would agree with. I have to leave mine on charge every night, but I do have it all singing and dancing with everything turned on, regularly frequenting the GPS. OK, so the old nokias, 5110 for instance (we all had one) used to last 2 weeks without a charge, but did it have a colour screen, a camera, GPS, wifi, the list goes on...

Seriously flawed tho?

If you have something lacking in your life and feel you need a visual aid to help you fit in, then by all means get an iPhone.

Interesting article anyway, cheers Paul

I have extensively tested nearly all Android phones to date.

I love mine! Well faster than my brothers 3gs

If you want a better battery life get task killer so you can stop all your apps at the touch of a button

I'd have to disagree with it being a geeks phone, especially over the iPhone. Yes you can get very geek with it but you don't have to and as Brett said you don't have to piss around jail breaking it.

The big 2 sellers for me over the iPhone were the price and the fact I don't have to use itunes

Ahh right, just how every article ive seen compares the iPhone 4 to the Evo rather than the Desire.

It's more relevant in America I suppose but it's a slightly different type of phone, it's also massive.
