Glenn Beck owns an iPhone. Just sayin.

Actually he prefers his traditional red phone. :-P

my guess is that the dude ignored the "turn off all electronic devices" request and it blew it's battery trying to maintain connection to the cell tower it was connected to. the farther you are from a good strong signal the harder the battery gets pushed to juice the connection. crazy shit none-the-less though.

My experience is, I've never really needed a smart phone...
As a computer guy, I've generally always got a computer in front of me, and I don't need to travel far to work.

My [old] phone was my telephone address book, and alarm clock basically.
I never even used it to make calls in general.

I then got a Blackberry 3G last year, mainly because it was on a super awesome deal really really cheap. I had not interest in paying Ã‚Â£35/month for an iPhone etc, so the Blackberry did the job for me. PRO: I like the keyboard. CON: Screen too small for good web use and not touchscreen.

Still, does the job for me - generally at home I now use my BB for all my email, and some light web use.

That said, I do like the iPhone and probably would have grabbed one if they were cheap enough.
Now, I would probably go Samsung, but again only if it was Ã‚Â£10/month with all my minutes included. Until that happens, I don't need anything fancy.

You can go back and forth all day.

It comes down to this - Get an iPhone if you want something that just works. Get an Android if you want to tinker with shit.
