Mine and Mrs phones are coming up for renewal. I really really like the HTC phones however people with iphone say it's just a cheap iphone!!
Having had a nokia all my life it is going to be either Apple iphone 5,HTC or Samsung
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.
So the iPhone is chavvy and the guy was comparing a soon to be 3rd generation phone to a new one?
Makes perfect sense. Just admit you can't afford the beautiful iPhone lifestyle. It's no big deal fella.

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.
Bingo!
Point was though that you don't really hear people saying 'I need that new HTC', or people wanking silly over a video of it booting up. People do that with the iPhones because of the brand name, and they fall into the trap of having to have it then.
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.
Also, who has wanked over the video of it booting up? There were two comments about that video, neither were masterbatory.
