the battery and ease of transferring data, are 2 reasons why my next upgrade will probably be an android set, but if possible I would prefer to hold fire until there are a few less issues with them.

However there are many things you can do with the Nokia phones that you still can't do with a Apple device. For me having a dictionary for the screen reader is a very big item. Setting up application specific things is another one. Being able to defined graphic still another one. Then having buttons on a phones is a major plus for me. Being able to change the battery any time I want is another Major plus for me. Not loosing any speed with using the phone and being able to totally control the phone while in a pocket is a plus too. Then being able to use the device as a flash drive is a plus. It comes down to what you want and use in a device. For me, Nokia still will be my primary device and Apple as something to just play with from time to time. It is just to limiting for me. Signed: Stephen Giggar Skype: dr-phone.
