Who is in control of your brand?

I posted a question on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook asking people if they loved or hated their iPhones… These kinds of questions often spark interest, but this one certainly got some traction.

I have one and love/hate it, but can’t let go of it. What do you think of your iPhone?

This is what a range of my contacts said:

Love it and hate it. Isn’t enterprise ready( can’t make apprs with one of your contacts for example). When it can do this and have a half decent battey life then it’ll be close.
Catch your soon Simon.

An iphone is the definition of love!

Hi Simon, do you have one ? There are lots of pros and cons to it.
I dont have one, I have a Nokia N95 but considered one, as well as the Blackberry Storm & also the Nokia N97 coming out soon. They all have pros and cons, storm didnt do all that well in reviews, iphone – well, you cant mms off it, nor can you use the laptop to send sms’ which I do a lot.

I love it, but it decided to pack it in.. it just won’t turn on or charge, so I’m getting a new one.

LOVE IT – the minor issues are outweighed by the fabness of the rest of it – one gadget to take with me now – instead of a phone and ipod and a diary. LOVE.

I love it.

It’s an aesthetically beautiful and easy to use device.

It does have some current drawbacks that we’re all likely familiar with (including not being able to cut and paste David’s Apple pic from mobile facebook), but all in all a sweet device.

and you can’t forward sms or cut n paste from sms. but i am sure that will be fixed ne day. i saw an iphone tonight had been dropped – not pretty – some people do not deserve to own an iphone… no respect.

in summary, apples are yummy, you are all funny, and I think I love mine.

Rino Del Zoppo at 10:29, on 20 December.
think? how very dare you? not ‘think’ but ‘know’ you know you love yours.
