Yes, agreed, which is why I would rather buy my phone than take it out as
part of a contract. My understanding is that you can now do that with the
Iphone. And it is certainly a reason why the LookTel project might struggle
because of the subscription charges, plus your phone, then the pay plan.
But it is all according to what one can afford and how they prefer to pay
for it.

You really need to do the full total cost. The 199 or 299 whatever unit
currency is just the upfront cost of your iPhone. You must factor in your
price plan over the two years contract which is pays at least as much again
for the handset before you get to any billing for calls or data outside the
plan..
At £30 a month over two years this would be £720 over two years plus up to
£300 for the phone making £1020 which is far closer to the real cost of what
you are doing. When you look at it like this you can see why Apple and the
carriers are so pleased with themselves.

Hi,
I suppose the big question is, how does the price compare between the IPhone
and a simm free Simbian along with Talks or any other program to provide
speech? If the IPhones are released at the prices mentioned; $199 and $299
for the 4G 16Gb and 32Gb respectively, it will be difficult to compete.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Dave,
There are quite a few phones now that work with Talks quite well.
The N97, the N97 Mini, the 5530, the 5800 Express, to name a few.
They are all unfortunately touch screens. One of the best phones is
the X6 for touch, as it has a capacitive screen, which is like the iPhone.
It accepts swipes, double taps, triple taps, etc.
All I am saying is, it is not only the iPhone that works with touch.
Both Talks and MS work quite well.
On all the above mentioned phones, Email works well, and the
calendar works pretty well. I don?t like the calendar on the iPhone either,
as it always takes you to the first calendar entry you have when you go in,
not to today. So even on the iPhone, I don?t think the calendar works that
well.
All the best
Steve

Well, I must say Mr Nut, nobody seems to be able to tell me about
Symbian phones, IE which ones actually work well with Talks now, including
Email, the browser and calendar, and what kinds of keyboards they have. We
know everything works on the iPhone and that new aps are coming out all the
time, many of which are also accessible. I for one am seriously considering
the switch, though I do want to see the iPhone in action at the BCAB Sight
Village Plus event, details of which are at www.bcab.org.uk
I hope somebody has a good selection of modern phones on their stand
and can comment as you always used to Steve, but I think we'd all be
interested in basic descriptions of phones and how well they work with
talks, if anybody can send them!
Cheers
Dave
