What's diminutive about it, has the guy in the ad got tiny hands? What's advanced about it? It's retrograde. Its costume jewellery and will be so much old tat in a month or so. A pretty face on no substance.

It was not rocket science but think the people who market this should know the UK market. They should be sacked in hind sight. They sold it with O2 and that was biggest prob. People need to pay up their own tarrif and join O2 if they want the phone. Or pay two tarrifs. Plus the cost would amount to on average over 5 to 600 pounds when you can get one similar (but not as nice looking)for no cost. Nice product but Clive Sinclair marketing as normal. Its the mac v pc or vhs v beta all over again. Sack the marketers and unlock it and it will be ok. Learn from history about not being versatile or Nokia like Microsoft, with the pc, will take the crown of this new tecnological niche.

Apple was always more aesthetcally pleasing and more advanced, and it hurts that they lost their market because of being naive. I hated moving from an apple to a pc. This could be the case again. Please Apple, avoid these people who make you mistakes in marketing and listen to what business and the public want. Not some stupid business people who contract with O2. You are supposed to be too big for that.

Some stupid phone like the blackberry, or some eronomically unfriendly device like the Nokia will run the world and you will be in the same position again.
