To be perfectly honest the iphone is way over rated. If you want the best buy a samsung galaxy s2. It beats the iphone hands down. Just check any online review. You wont be dissapointed. Plus its android so nearly everything you will ever need is totally free.

Another vote for the galaxy s2 or even the s, as it still compares well against the iphone.
check out talkmobile for pretty good deals , they use the vodafone network. I've been well happy so far!

I've been very happy with my iPhone on Vodafone, and will be buying the 5 (or what ever it's called) upon release.

I wouldn't buy a 4 right now griff, as new one should be along within 2 months. That said, on that basis, you might be able to do a deal on a 4 - because generally there aren't any deals to be done.

I've moved back to Vodafone with my 3GS and it's vastly improved over O2.

Personally I'd wait a bit as a newer iPhone is due to drop somewhere aroound October, which may result in a drop in prices for the older stuff.

I cant comment on where is the best place to get an iPhone from on Vodafone as I dont know to be honest.

What I can comment on though is the Apple Vs Android debate as I have used both extensively.

Which you prefer is largely down to what you are going to do with the phone.... (if you are just going to make calls then dont get either.... )

I had the HTC Desire on Android and I loved the little things that it did as standard, although I believe some of this was actually down to the HTC Sense overlay rather than the pure Android OS.

When I went onto the iPhone there were many of the little simple things that I missed from my HTC, some I still do!

However, if you are an apps junkie, particularly for games then there simply is no contest. The Apple app store wipes the floor with Android in terms of content.

There maybe more free apps on Android, but for strength in depth and quality of apps then it has to be Apple.

However, there are also many reasons not to buy the iPhone. No Bluetooth, no external memory facility, extortionate fixed tariffs compared to similar Android devices, hugely overpriced handset again compared to Android....

I am currently using the iPhone 4 and I love it, but to be honest if HTC sorted out the pathetic internal memory capacity on their phones then I would go back. Not until they start including at least 8gb as standard though.

My HTC Desire became useless. I filled the memory within weeks, so I moved what I could to the SD and deleted the rest. Within 6 months though the phone just accumulated so much background junk that it was permanently full and stopped simple things like emails downloading from working. I tried for ages to resolve this, and consulted many 'experts' but the bottom line always came down to needing a factory reset and losing anything that I couldnt back up to SD.

So I did the reset and promptly sold the phone a few days later!

So I would say to think what you want the main feaures of your phone (calling aside) to be and then choose the OS that best suits your needs.

If that happens to be the iPhone then unfortunately its just a case of paying the price..

iphone4 has bluetooth...

while I have seen a few impressive features on android phones it feels like the phone itself lets the side down. they seem so clunky and heavy. their batteries (from what I've heard) don't last very long at all. I'm currently seeing 4 days most charges (easily 3 with a decent usage figure)

the iphone4 looks totally gorgeous too

you get what you pay for at the end of the day. the iphone4 screen still trumps all also

An easy to find cheap iPhones online is to do a search on Craigslist.com. You can specify what areas you want to search and what exactly you are looking for. Once you find someone selling cheap IPhones or at a reasonable price, don't be afraid to send an email and make your offer.

One caution is to beware of anyone offering free iPhones. Remember that nothing is free and so there must certainly be a catch. Your goal is to find where to buy an iPhone for cheap, not expose yourself to a potential scam for chance at a free iPhone.
