Iphone 4gs v HTC Desire v £400

jrjokerz · 02-06-10, 11:36 PM

What would you do?

cessna172 · 02-06-10, 11:45 PM

I would choose the iPhone 4G

az87aris · 02-06-10, 11:48 PM

I think it would depend on tne price of the iphone. if it was less than £400 i'd go for the £400 and buy the iphone with a little monies left over.

jrjokerz · 02-06-10, 11:49 PM

i mean if it was around the same price

Jmanizzle · 03-06-10, 09:18 AM

I'd take the cash, you could get a good phone for like £200? Do you really need an iPhone? £200 phone + Moneys for fun is a way better deal.

However good it will be its just a phone, bit faster, new look people wont sound much different when they call you lol i sound a miserable old fart dont i :-/. Take the doe enjoy yourself the memories will last longer than the phone

az87aris · 03-06-10, 09:27 AM

If you take the money and buy a cheaper phone you'll get bored of it pretty quick and will want to buy another one..

I don't think i'll go back to a normal phone after having the iphone, theres nothing on the market that beats it (imo).

Depends if the iPhone 4G could be jail broken, otherwise i would chose the HTC if it ran Android 2.2 With Sense UI

I'm still debating doing this!! Out of interest how much did you get for your 3G? Did you sell it on fleabay? lol

xbox360guy · 03-06-10, 04:03 PM

have photos actually been released of the 4G?

samac92 · 03-06-10, 04:07 PM

No one knows anything about the price of the 4G yet, but I have the Desire and it is a great phone, and on T Mobile you can get it for £157 with a £15 a month contract (unlimited texts, unlimited internet and 100 minutes) so it's far cheaper that way than the iPhone.

Though I would say the Nexus One is a better choice than the Desire because HTC have removed stuff and replaced it with their Sense UI crap, and they stop updating their phones quite quickly. (Their last flagship phone was the Hero which is still running 1.6, when the newest software is 2.2!) The Desire is currently stuck on 2.1.

The Nexus One is the same phone as the Desire (both made by HTC) but all updates come straight from google so you'll always have the latest software.

But wait till the 4G comes out, (in about a week it will be announced) then decide.

£230... tried twice on eBay but it was bought at the last second by scammers so it went to an exceemer, but I won't say who cos they might not want people knowing lol.

chapperzUK · 07-07-10, 08:53 PM

iPhone 4GS? What is that .....

I'd have the iPhone 4, sell it on ebay for around £800-£1000, buy an iPhone 4 from Apple for just £500ish. Sweet

jrjokerz · 07-07-10, 09:06 PM

who would buy an iphone for 800-1000 when they can buy it for 500

iFreeZone · 07-07-10, 09:11 PM

Go to eBay and check it out...

People who want it "now" instead of min 3 weeks will pay extra.

chapperzUK · 07-07-10, 09:19 PM

NeonLord · 07-07-10, 09:36 PM

The one before has a bid of £751 and a feedback of 128. I saw one go for around £1,050, but that was around the day after if was released.
