I like the iPhone but it's bad to type on I use a nokia n97 mini everyday and my ipad which I type on all the time. I even use the iPad for Skype calls, bit trigger happy tv though!
Don't forget the GST!

1 more thing the BB is loads more expensive, for data. I use sure they wanted £15 extra a month for data. Supplying my own phone (eBay£150 n97 mini) the data plan with sure was a free add on. I have a micro sim cutter and can also use he sim in the iPad. (sure told me it would not work but it does)
Thanks for reminding me about that- my iTunes postcode is a UK one! I will order it off play.com then, that offers me it for about £520 as they definitely take off the VAT. I always have quite liked the idea of getting an iPad but I do not really travel enough to make one worth the money!
