So, will there be 3G iPhone launch party at the same venue on 11th July? I’m gonna have a bonfire at mine I think.

iTunes is not cross platform if you use Linux and have a Nokia 63… I dunno… some other numbers that you inherited from someone else. Hmmph.

I like that you made an orderly queue of 1 though, and took photos and things. Stylish.

Grump on Grumpyman! I had a sony ericcson until the precious arrived recently. Could I use the software with my Mac? nope! is iTunes cross platform? Yes. There are many twists and turns on this whole tied in thing.

I’m not one to moan, but it annoys me how everyone talks about being tied into O2 or Mac stuff. If you get a Sony mobile, you’ll be tied to using their crappy software, and you’ll not be able to use this software on a mac. If you want the N95 8Gb you have to switch to Vodaphone – it’s exclusive to them at the moment, you’ll also be tied in for 12-18 months depending on tariff choice. Nokia has also just opened the Nokia Music Store, are you not going to buy a Nokia now because you’ll be tied into this?

Contract phones have always been tied to networks for at least 12 months, more recently 18. Manufacturers have always bundled their own software with the device, often excluding mac users. I don’t really see how you’re anymore tied with an iphone, they give you the phone and the software to work with it – same as every other phone maker. The only difference is that in 18months, when your contract is up you MIGHT have to stay with O2, but by then you MIGHT want a newer phone anyway or they MIGHT be unlockable.

the n95 8gb gps is ‘the dogs’ as they say…. but its quite dear… not as dear as an ipone but getting there… also.. in my opinion quite heafty (still smaller than ye olde 1996 phones though!)…. also.. i like that it comes with n-gage… almost doubles as a psp … stereo blue tooth head set. i think i;’ll just get a e65 then consider iphone mrk2 in a years time…. or at least see where iphone moves the market too.

you see… i thikn i WOULD i phone… but i dont like being tied to itunes and every other macness in and the mac family… i want to be free not tied … in saying that… if i won an iphone or was given it… i would certinly use it!!

Awww crap, Qmonkey has sent me conclusive evidence that there’s an 8Gb version of the N95, shoulda googled it a bit better! Seems like Voxo is taking a bit of a pointy though, or maybe it was just the beer talking. Did you have your mate stella round or was it just a bud?
