I wonder if you have actually tried the WP which you so easily dismiss? When the 920 comes out check it out and come back to me. I think you`ll change your mind.
Nowt wrong with your pics. Your a good looking,upwardly mobile fella. One of my favourite posters. Some people just have iphone/BMW/SKY World written all over them.
Whilst I do have an iPhone (4) and will no doubt be getting the 5 (for the same reason I have the 4, my firm has a number of apple only apps for the phone and pad which are customer facing and means I can recall all their investments and the like at a glance and built portfolios etc).
I simply come on these threads as they are usually a lot of fun because some people really truely hate apple (skashion being one). So I tend to ham it up a little bit.
They will say that mate, as they're sticking up for what they have. All I can tell you is I got the Sensation XL in Feb as a replacement to the Desire HD. A couple I know had recently bought the iPhone 4 and with him being a bit of a tech head, he wanted a look at my phone. He was sorry he had gone for the iPhone afterwards. The way I see it is the iPhone is the 'must have' just because of the brand, almost chavvy in a way like kids 'must have' Nike trainers and they 'must' cost shit loads. HTC's slogan is 'quietly brilliant', and it ain't lying either.St Helens Blue (Exiled) said:Pigeonho said:I've made Mrs P aware that I want a new iPad, and there will be consequences if I don't get one.

But you would say that mate, you're sticking up for what you have. ;)
The core competancies that the majority of mobile phone users require will be met by all models, therefore test them all and buy whichever you prefer using and fuck what anyone else says.

So the iPhone is chavvy and the guy was comparing a soon to be 3rd generation phone to a new one?Pigeonho said:They will say that mate, as they're sticking up for what they have.

People don't need the new HTC as it's not as good as an iPhone or marry up to their existing apps or iTunes account.Pigeonho said:Bingo!GStar said:Pigeonho said:They will say that mate, as they're sticking up for what they have.

Oh mate, you keep on throwing the money thing into it don't you? We know you're a well off guy and good luck with that, but at the end of the day they all cost the same per month. For what I pay for my Sensation and soon to be One X, I could get the iPhone for the same if not cheaper. They're simply not that good though so I choose to go with HTC, which are.SWP's back said:So the iPhone is chavvy and the guy was comparing a soon to be 3rd generation phone to a new one?Pigeonho said:They will say that mate, as they're sticking up for what they have.

Makes perfect sense. Just admit you can't afford the beautiful iPhone lifestyle. It's no big deal fella.

Also, who has wanked over the video of it booting up? There were two comments about that video, neither were masterbatory.
I'm just retorting when you keep saying they are an inferior product. Which they aren't. And others keep saying that they are expensive for what they are and are not value for money.Pigeonho said:Oh mate, you keep on throwing the money thing into it don't you?
