I personally would prefer an N95 than an iPhone... Infact, for what I can do on my K800i (with 2Gb M2 card), I'd sooner have that than the iPhone!

People will only buy it because "it has an Apple logo on it... it must be good!"

Like Matt D said... Why not go with a normal network and get a better deal. The iPhone deal on o2 is a complete rip-off. o2 are only doing the iPhone because they know that people will want it just because it has the same apple logo on it as their iPod.

Likewise I'd prefer a Creative Zen or even an MS Zune than an iPod. Why be restricted to Apple's formats (Quicktime etc) when there are alternatives which are fully DivX compatible without needing iTunes (POS software if ever I've seen it) to copy the stuff over.
I was tempted by an older ipod if i can find one with a decent battery
Probably because the rockbox firmware works on the older ones and then it becomes anything but limited when it comes to formats...

Installing EDGE seems a bit silly when theres HSDPA about which just leaves EDGE standing in terms of thoughput
