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

    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.

      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.

      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.

        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? :((

          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.

          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" ;)

                The iPhone costs more because it's a PHONE.

                          you don't need to buy it. Apple has set up this offer. You can accept it or reject it.

                                        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.

                                        I haven't used any (or looked for one). I prefer to use a standard GPS device rather than use it through a phone. On the rare occasions that I did not have a GPS, I just used the phone's map software rather than try the phone's GPS software.

                                          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.

                                          All WP7 apps run across all WP7 devices. So you don't have to pick a specific phone model for using a specific app. I believe 720p HD video is a requirement for a device to support WP7. I have a Samsung Focus on AT&T. I haven't used other providers in years so I am not sure how good the others are, but I find AT&T rates to be decent and their service is alright too unless you drive into the deep country sides (you'll usually find yourself out of 3G coverage).
