i own my phone for six months now its an LG GC900, and i love it, it slipped like 40times now and still its working well, but the reason i bought it is because of its, 8megapixel camera resolution, ilovepictures so i chose this, and i can put as much music without it lagging on me. What i don't like is its messaging, people are having a hard time, texting me and receiving my message. and since i dropped it a million times, it now looks old. so i want a new phone, but everybody i know kept pushing me to iphone4, do you think its a good idea?

I think yes because for the advantage of the iphone compared to other cellphone brands is its applications. Like in the medical field which i am in we need the electronic book which we browse once in a while when we are on duty. Despite of other phones having much better cameras and etc.

I have a first gen iPhone and I like it.
Friends and family have been so impressed by it they have also bought iPhones.
IF you decide to get one, be SURE to get some kind of case for it. I got the hard case, one friend got the rubber bumpers and my sister has a leather one.

Why not? If you can afford that kind of phone, why not go for it?
Then again, you did say that you really like taking pictures. Why not invest on a good digital camera so you can really focus on pictures when you use that? If you can, you can also opt for those DSLR cameras, those that would make you look like a professional.
But of course, perhaps the reason you chose that camera phone before is that its very convenient to have to gadgets in one, a camera and a phone. If that's the case, I guess you just have to stick to what you really want and not what other people are saying just because they say so and its popular.

in my opinion iphone is a totally waste of money!!So it enables normal features or normal hardware as many others but you will pay double why?So in my opinion if i pay the double of price a device,it should be so powerful and must enable innovative features so in both cases iphone fails these goals!!So you will pay more just for a market trend and apple marketing?mmh...i think is not enough to spend this money!!
in reality as regards worlwide sales apple is just 5th so before the iphone in sales worldwide there is nokia,lg,samsung,blackberry and afterthat apple with iphone.In reality the big marketing campaign from apple give you the impression that you are the only one not having iphone but this is not as so!In reality iphone is really popular in the Us or some other markets where apple normally has great results but in many other countries this device is not considered at all!!Surely if apple continue to spread markets where they come good and they hide markets that in reality iphone never had good results it would be easy think that iphone sales are so great but in reality it is in selected markets as those one in Us iphone sales are great but i think a worldwide company must count all results not only where they are strong..so just considering these point of view you can understand iphone is just a phone so not an innovative product or something of more for this in my opinion paying so much money is not really justify..excluding marketing naturally..and so it cna be a good suggestion considering othe phones and brand you can save money and having good features too..

I do think that iphones are quite popular as I went shopping today for a case for my phone, and all I saw were cases for the iphone 4. It is like it is the only phone out there that is any good. Well, I happen to like the smartphone I am using, as it looks like an iphone when it comes to the apps, but a better screen with higher quality. I have a Samsung Fascinate, which is a Galaxy S phone, one of a series of Galaxy S phones that Samsung made. I have had the phone only about a month, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far, as it does have a fast processor, which helps as the web pages load up really fast. the screen can be seen in direct sunlight, and this si the first phone that I have had that is able to be seen that way. Take care, and have a very good day.
