I've decided not to buy either the Nexus1 nor (tch) iPhone at present.
I looked at the specs and potential apps and thought, you know, I can do that on my iPod Touch with my mifi - IF I get a signal - plus I weigh myself down with decent cameras.
I'm not really into cameraphones. And if I do need a satnav, which is hardly at all, I still have my TomTom.
I have a perfectly acceptable Nokia for making calls/texts, and, if I need it, net access. Age means it's sometimes difficult to make out what's on a tiny screen, and arthritic fingers find it difficult to negotiate phone keyboards.
I'm probably longer in the tooth than The Artfullodger and co.
I'm not convinced that I REALLY need the gadget.
As for network coverage, it is an issue. Some places near Loughborough, Middle England, have blind spots for all networks, and I have a friend who couldn't even get VF coverage in her home in Nottingham.
Now, if WIMAX became a reality and someone manufactured an interactive tablet which enabled multimedia input...
Thanks to all who replied.
