Well actually I’ve given into the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, which is T-Mobiles version of HTC Touch Diamond. My aging Vodafone v1415 and Vodafone contract are now costing me more than I think I should be paying.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the iPhones slick interface and what is has done for the industry. Apples little baby has shown others how it should be done and that will only spur others to work harder, but… I really am sick of hearing and reading about it. So for those of you in [...]
