The iPhone is over.... Western Civilisation got bored with too much money and it got siphoned off by con-men!

I never bought one... I tell ya I'm the most free person Cheesy

It's just quite a pathetic world at times but it's got its highlights aswell Wink

My nephew bought a 30 dollar phone from coles the other day because you don't need an internet in your pocket!

That's just the one-off cost for the hardware, but then comes the buying of apps. to download and install into your iPhone, and then the monthly payments to your internet service provider.
