I need, some financial advice. Now i can afford the Iphone 16GB but i would rather not pay £300+ on it, but it CAN be done. So my question is, what do you guys recommend i get? The Iphone 8GB or the Iphone 16 GB?

Thanks in advance guys

Neither, get the LG Viewty ( KU990) instead.

Yes the iphones touch screen is better, and it has a better music player but thats about it.

In every other department it gets blown right out of the water. it cant even take video.

Plus if your goin for a contract, the lg viewty is free and your not forced to use o2. So you save some money.

My friend bought an iPhone, he keeps complaining to me how much of a waste of money it is, so I suggest getting something else.

hmmmm... the answer is NO...

I realize you asked 8 or 16 GB, basically... the answer is no.

Don't buy either! If you want a touchscreen, get the Viewty. If you want great music features get a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone. The iPhone is a waste of money.

I know it looks nice and performs well, but there are better things you can get with the money.

Yeah... because its nice... but if you wanna spend such an obscene ammount of money on a phone... theirs nicer ones...

Or you can spend much much less and get a very comparable one.

I'd just rather not get an iPhone, 'cause I'm afraid of causing the death of a tree or two (300-page iPhone Bill)

I dont hate it. its just overpriced and overhyped for what it really is. I got viewty on contract with free ps3 which should be arriving end of this month (fingers crossed). And even if I dont get the ps3 its still a good deal. Thats a total of over £600 worth of free stuff. Y pay for the iphone?

If you really want to use your iphone as an mp3 player find a deal in which you get a viewty & ipod touch for free instead, I seen a few offers like that (but not on sites I know about. You could just get free ps3 then sell and buy ipod touch)

If you don't mind managing data in Itunes i would just go with the 8GB, that is what I plan on getting this summer, hopefully after a price drop. Enjoy it, great piece of technology.

no, what you've probably done is messed around with it in Phones4U, maybe taken a picture, and you like that its all pretty and touch screeny. In practice, its not a fantastic device, it would make more sense to get a propper phone, and maybe an iPod nano if you really want to fit in with the cool kids.

I'd say it's ill-advised to buy one now. Supposedly the new 3G 2.0 version is coming out in 60 days. I would wait for that before buying one.
