Vodafone prices up first touchscreen BlackBerry

@AC

I didn't see anyone write, or hear anyone say it WAS better value that the iphone.

Way to go to get defensive before the shit slinging has even started.

iPhones for iDiots

@Monkey. Blackberry's are aimed at people you are not attracted to every shiny thing Jobbie throws out the door. The iPhone has the security and appeal of an Icelandic bank.

I'll wait for 5800.

Errrrm I have tried REALLy hard to see why you 1 aimed your comment at me or 2 think I was praising the iphone. I pointed out that the one AC was clearly defensive about the price of the iphone when nobody had in fact even tried to claim the Storm was better value than the iP!

That was very, very obvious!!

Oh and in response to your educating comment about who Blackberrys are aimed at, I'd like you to know I am in fact typing this on my Blackberry. Mine. Not a work one. Mine, and my third in a row I might add.

You really did miss the point there didn't you!

So if we take the title of your comment at face value... Jog on down to the O2 shop boyo your iphone is waiting.
