    The nexus uses the latest version of the 'Android' OS. Here is the dedicated forum for it:

    Both quality phones. I am guessing most people will recommend you go for the iPhone but a lot of people swear by Android handsets...

    If the forum is giving you a headache, I would probably recommend you go with the iPhone. Its OS is simpler to use imo.

    If you are willing to be a little more patient and use some more trial and error, there is a lot more functionality with Android imo.

    I think I will get the iphone. I have a ipad allready but I never use it.

    I suppose the 32gb would be the best one to get?

    If you need 32gb, yes...

    depends on your needs.

    iPhone is app centric but good experience

    Android is easier to customize and make it more personal while still retaining your warranty :)

    You're thinking of adenoids, I think!

    Personally I would go for the iPhone (I have both). It's more stable, has better battery life and far more apps, arguably of better quality. If you have a iPad already you will know how to use the iPhone straight away, there is a hige learning curve with Android.

    I disagree. The only major difference between the two is that on the iPhone you have all the apps on the homescreen.

    Where on the android you have an app drawer. And you can choose what you want on your homescreen. As well as having widgets to provide various info you need

    Oh, don't talk rot. Jailbreaking doesn't void the warranty.

    OK I got my Iphone today and plugged it in etc. I am just home and I took my sim out of my Nokia phone but for some reason I cannot get it into the slot. The slot is more like a SD card slot but it definitley says in the instructions that the sim goes here..:confused::confused:.

    I got it in a bit of the way as I didnt want to force it. Are they all tight like this and should I put some force on it???

    You'll have to get your network to provide you with a micro-SIM to fit into the iPhone 4.

    Standard SIM's are too big. The standard SIM can be cut to suit, though it's probably best to get a new one from your network.
