Next time you go to Jebel Ali fishing for a deal, bring some kind of quality inspection along :D
jackmohan, I don't have an iPhone but I love, absolutely love my iPod touch 2G. It's really the app store that makes the difference, I don't know how many apps are out there for the Nokia and Samsung but I doubt as many as for the iPhone. Granted at least 80% of them are rubbish but there are some gems that make the platform truly worth owning. I do however think that the iPhone is a little bit of a status symbol. The only differences between the two is that the iPod Touch doesn't have a camera, a phone, and 3G internet. Apple just dropped prices on the Touch in the States, and paying three or more times the price of the unit for those three advantages is a little ridiculous to me. You could buy a killer phone, an iPod Touch, and a real decent digicam for the price of just one iPhone, easily :) I think it comes down to good old "snob appeal" in the end.
