So you are going to pay the same price for a stripped down iPhone, granted with twice the capacity, but looks like the phone yet holds 1/10th the amount of data as a $50 cheaper alternative? Then have two devices in your pocket instead of one? Rich/stupid what?

1stly 16GB vs 8GB is a big jump. Secondly I have a company Blackberry, so don't really want two phones and thirdly I haven't bought it or even said I would, I said I like it. To think that such snippy vindictive statement could come from a Mod, is quite shocking.

I agree. Because obviously if it were released in Europe not a single person would buy it.

Of course they would, but it hasn't been released there and that is entirely the point. The European market won't support expensive devices like that, because whilst here in the US I might have to pay $250 for a K850i, in the UK that phone has been free for years, because the market is so much more competitive (because foreign companies are not locked out).

I can see how the phrase would upset people, so I apologise that it was somewhat rude, but I think it's been misconstrued and in future I'd appreciate it if mods would express their displeasure in private rather than rake it out on the forum.
