I am a year away from a contract upgrade and am pondering buying an unlocked iphone. I am very happy with my ipad2 and am glad I got the 3g. I also have a 4th generation ipod touch which gets quite a lot of use.
With 50 year old eyes I find the ipad screen size great. But it does not fit in my pocket so I can't avoid the need for a "smart" phone. Also the ipad it not always at hand - particularly at work. When bored in meetings playing with the touch/reading emails on my andriod phone is ok - playing with the ipad would not work!
I have never been impressed with the Andriod (it is a 3 year old G1) It has never let me down). I have given up on Android Apps and just make calls, text, email, and browse. All Apps are either on the ipod touch or the ipad.
Everytime I get the touch out on the move I wish is had a gps and a data plan i.e. an iphone!
So baring in mind that I have the ipad which handset is best to get. Current pricing for unlocked iphones leaves me confused. Assuming the UK apple store is correct we have:
3gs £319
4 £429
4s £499
Logically I should get the 3gs as 3gs + 4th generation ipod touch will be very similar to iphone4. But the 3gs is over 3/5 the price of the 4s. If I am prepared to shell out £319 I might as well dig deeper and get the 4, but then once I have shelled out £429 I might as well shell out £499 and go the whole hog.
Maybe I should just wait a month or 2 and the price of the 3gs will drop lots.
What do people reckon?
