that always pisses me off...
just because something is the popular opinion you won't do it...
your still not thinking for youself, your just thinking the exact opposite of what everyone else is...

it is like reverse peer pressure

you think for you don't let other peoples opinions decide or shape things for you...

My point is that everyone seems to think that ipods are the best that money cam buy. period. but, if you actually do a bit of looking you acn find devices that can do more, to a better standard, that cost less and won't break a month after the warranty goes.

because I'm not a sheep. sheep buy ipods.

And i thought them learning to commando roll was impressive....

I saw that on the news. very impressive. Apparently in New Zeland the sheep have learned that they can't cross the cattle grids. When a new one needs fitting the authorities just paint white lines across the road instead. the sheep think that the lines are the bars of a cattle grid and just don't bother trying.

I was just thinking the same...

Remeber i only have a £100 budget. A quich google later finds that an N96 costs £490. I've no idea how much the N97 is going to cost, but its not going  to be less. And before anyone suggests a contract, No. Just No. I've done the math and on the  cheapest contract i could find you end up paying for the phone 6 times over. I hardly ever use my phone (a £30 piece of poo poo that does everything i want and came with a free 2gb microSD card) so i wouldnt get my money's worth.

because if that one device runs out of battery, yours entirely screwed for the rest of the day and odds are since that device handles everything you do it will run out of battery pretty quick

that's why i keep my crappy cell phone and go buy a different product for music/videos, i can't afford to have my phone go out because i watched an hours worth of video.

I agree with you totally.

The fact that the psp has no in-built memory was always a killer for me. When the PSP was first released i was unsure about getting one because of the price of memory. In fact, even today, Sony's Memory Stick format is overpriced. £60 for a 16Gb card wheras an equivalent SD card would cost roughly £20.


Anyway, the Archos is ordered and on its way. Should arrive on wednesday but i can't touch it 'till christmas.
