A fifth of Brits regret buying their iPhone

[Leanne]

Love the call of magpies but they only come up as far as Tennant Creek

I'll send you a couple of the buggers, special delivery

I wonder what magpie soup tastes like?

[popeye]

Well Mark when i bought it my brother in law said it was a shit phone so i naturally assumed it would do the job, but that was a long time ago

[Leanne]

Your phone can't fix a septic system!? Boy! It must be older than I thought.

We don't have septic, we have sewerage :p

Should have shoved it up the salesman's pipehole.

Sobering statistics, assuming their reliable. In a survey done by GoodMobilePhones.co.uk , 22% of those who had bought the apple smartphone say they regretted thee purchase. Their top five reasons:

1) Jealous of rival smartphones (43%)
2) Battery life (25%)
3) Lack of 'buttons' (13%)
4) Difficulty using emails (8%)
5) Unhappy with functionality (5%)

The top reason seems hard to quantify (it could mean other smartphones seem to have better features, but it could just be jealousy over the new, shiny thing). But battery life does seem to be a major issue ( http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/apples-bat...hing/63229) along with other bugs (http://www.appsplit.com/blog/2011/11/yel...few-weeks/)

What do you think? Should apple be worried?

80% of Brits are pleased with their iphone purchase? Apple should be ecstatic, not worried!! (also, it's 'they're' not 'their')

A good point; 78% satisfaction with anything is pretty impressive!
