      The unsubsidized 32GB iPhone 4S costs $750, but the 32GB iPod Touch (can't be subsidized) costs $300. So, you're paying $450 for a phone without any extra features? :confused: :wtf: Is it just me, or is Apple royally screwing us? :((

      If you are just realising that then I have a great bridge I would like to sell you. Mate when you can't get a new battery without replacing the entire phone it should be bloody obvious you are being ripped off. Talk about built in obsolescence.

            Would you pay $450 for a simple phone that can only make calls? And you can actually make calls from an iPod Touch over WiFi using Skype.

                    Having used an iPhone 3G for 2+ years and now a WP7 for 1+ years, I'd say a WP7 is equal to or even better than an iPhone in terms of usability (although it's not as fashionable). So if you are looking for a new phone, you should at least consider a WP7 phone.

                      I've replaced damaged screens in these before, the battery appears to be easy to replace?

                        I may actually consider that. For one, I imagine it would be easier for me to develop apps on a WP7 phone. Do you happen to know if there is a WP7 phone with: email, video camera, Facebook, Bank of America app, Pandora, web browser, TODO list or notes, maps, 3G/wifi/bluetooth connectivity, a touch screen, and a US carrier with a decent data plan? I'd say those are my most used features.

                          Not sure about replacing one yourself, but I think that voids the warranty and I'm not sure if you can actually buy a replacement. It costs something like $70 to send it to Apple for them to put in a new battery.

                            Nish, do you know if there is a decent GPS app (tom tom) for the WP7, most of them seem to be for the fanboys only.

                                No, but I can imagine paying $450 for the convenience of not having to carry around TWO gadgets...

                                  the new iPhone has better features than iPod touch, but no where near $450's worth, so yes, you're being screwed - "consumer" rhymes with "loser" ;)

                                    In the US, Apple is screwing you....no Royals there; we threw off the monarchy in 1776, if you remember. In the UK, Apple is royally buggering everyone. PS. The expression chosen by each country may denote actual preferences prevalent there. :laugh:

                                      The iPhone costs more because it's a PHONE.

                                        Phones cost $30, not $450.

                                          In the US, Apple is screwing you....no Royals there; we threw off the monarchy in 1776, if you remember. In the UK, Apple is royally buggering everyone. PS. The expression chosen by each country may denote actual preferences prevalent there. :laugh:
