Re: Would you pay $15 for a Windows Mobile license?

have to agree with you there - non-touch implementation from my experience is pretty slick. I preferred it to the Blackberry that I had afterwards.

Re: Do you really need 16GB on your handset?

I have a 16G iPhone and an N95 with 8G+2G card. For the most part, this is sufficient although:

1. as I use my iPhone more in favour of my 80G iPod (with 50G of content), I can see this perhaps becoming an issue unless I can easily update my content over the air whilst away from home - especially overseas, and

2. I use both handsets, especially the N95, in favour of memory stick - lack of storage used to be an issue when "cloud services" weren't available and enterprise security policies made up/ down loading files neigh on impossible

I think to answer your question, for geeks etc. you can never have enough storage space :-)

For normobs, there will come a point where the amount of storage is irrelevant (if indeed it ever was). I'm sure this will parallel the pc world - when I had a 20G drive, I was always thinking disk space; now I have 750G, I don't pay much attention to how much of it is free! IMHO, for a phone with camera, music and video 40G will be as much as is needed.

Re: If there was one thing you could change, what would it be?

I'd like to change the way mobile phone insurance currently works. It's really expensive if I was to insure each handset that I have individually - what I really would like to see is a stand-alone fone insurance policy that I can get multiple family handsets to and save money in the process. As it is at the moment, I don't insure any of them apart from my iPhone because I feel that I'm being ripped off.

Re: iPhone 3G: 14 things I hate about you

I can sympathise with Adam having just changed from an N95 to iPhone myself. A number of additional niggles:

- can't send contact details to another phone via SMS
- don't seem to be able to switch send SMS sound off without using mute
- doesn't handle UK dial strings intuitively e.g. +44 (0) 123 4567 8901 is dialled as +44012345678901 instead of +4412345678901 (although other phones are the same but due to clicking on a number embedded in a email and not being able to edit the number before a call, it's not that great!)
- no flash and Java (widely reported)
- no video (bye bye Qik!)

Apart from that I'm happy (until I find something else ;-) - especially with the 'unlimited data' contract - but still find myself looking longingly at my trusty N95!
