Vodafone is lying. They're dumping that WinMo smartphone and going with the sales leader iPhone. WinMo is done for. Out, damned spot. Poor HTC. They build beautiful smartphones and put a crappy OS on them and now they're suffering financial losses. HTC is definitely going with Android next year.]]>Dec 10th 2009 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/

Even if Vodafone were to drop it, if you really want to you can get the phone unlocked/unbranded but on a subsidised Vodafone contract from a third-party retailer.
Or you could even get it on a network whose 3G coverage doesn't suck so much(!)]]>Dec 10th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 10th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/
Agreed. Most people who think 3G tend to go for O2 anyway. Their coverage is excellent followed by T-mobile.]]>Dec 10th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Of course, as always, YMMV - if you're lucky to live in one of the three postcodes or so that Vodafone offers it's super-fast HSDPA coverage then that's great but if you;re not, chances are you'll get equally good or better coverage from someone else.


@Almo: I would be surprised if that were the case given that O2's 3G coverage is the poorest of the major networks (or was last time I saw it quoted in numbers).
People who really value their 3G coverage are probably on Orange or Three.]]>Dec 10th 2009 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 11th 2009 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 10th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 10th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 10th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/

The iPhones sibling, the iPod Touch has kids dancing around like fools to stupid upbeat garbage music or playing their childish caveman go-kart games.
2. They bash PC users, by representing the PC as a geeky mid to late 30's uber-nerd.
3. They represent themselves with a younger "hip" college aged looking kid.

You think your post was funny? Okay, please take your act on the road if you want to find out how funny it actually was. Maybe that will convince you.

In any case, the only way you could possibly think the iPod Touch or the iPhone were designed for kids is if you're a full blown moron. Where's your evidence? Where are the statistics showing the median age of iPhone buyers? I mean making shit up is fun and all but not if you're being serious about it.]]>Dec 10th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 10th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/Dec 10th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/
Actually the funniest stuff usually is based on truth, which is specifically why your post wasn't funny. Seriously, median age of iPhone buyers. Look it up. Your opinion means nothing because it's wrong. Facts trump opinions every time.

But based on what you're saying here, you may not even know what a fact is or why it's important. I know a lot of people with iPhones and none of them are kids, so my sample size trumps yours. You can keep arguing that Apple products are made for kids till you choke on your own verbal diarrhea, but that's still not going to make it true.

Median age. Look it up.

Evidence of what, again? That the school system made a decision that involved giving phones to kids? How is that the same thing as kids buying iPhones for themselves?
