The big off put for the iPhone to me, is you seem to be tied to iTunes, rather than just uploading songs to my phone. The complain that Microsoft try to control things, but Apple are just as bad, but in a fluffy sort of way.

There are alternatives to iTunes though, there just a bit of a swine to use

From a survey in the Daily Telegraph today, here are the list prices of the three best touchscreen 'phones in their latest incarnation:

iPhone 4 - 16Gb - £499
Samsung Galaxy S - 16Gb - £430
Google Nexus One - 4Gb - £469

I wouldn't call the iPhone overpriced on that basis. My Volvo V50, list price £22k - the BMW 320d with the same spec added as extras, list price £31k. Now THAT'S what I call overpriced!!

Not trying to defend Apple here (each to their own, as without any competition an iPhone would cost a fortune!!) just interested where people set their numbers when they say overpriced. Since I know many people on here hanker after Beemers and Mercs, I hope they are not the same people calling an iPhone overpriced!!

Variety is the spice of life!!
