I dun own both phone. for me, i will go for X10 instead of Iphone4. Iphone4 give me the impression is that this phone for gamers. and the reason ppl go for it, either coz of trend or maybe others. I vote for X10 becoz i wan a phone for my studies and also working area in future. IF I have enuff money, i may go for HTC Desire HD since the screen dam huge and everything better than X10.

Indeed, Iphone4 now is much better than SE X10 for most of the phone user. wat can i say is that i believe SE X10 will win iphone4 in future. besides, i heard my colleague said Iphone5 will be LAUNCH by next year February / March. I don't know whether it's true or not.

And how many months of contract period did you sign up for? 12 months or 24 months?

If you did not, then congratulations. You are one of the minority. Other Iphone users wish they can be like you.

No, there's no problem at all, but thank you for making my point for me.

Honestly, would you still have bought your Iphone with "solid CASH!" like you mentioned if no contracts were available?

So really, this brings me back to my whole point: where is this "social status and phone pride" that you like to talk about?

Signing up for contracts in order to enjoy savings and get subsidization does not exactly give the impression that someone has "social status". In fact, it gives me the exact opposite impression, if you know what I mean. And as for "phone pride", well, like I said, I don't find any pride in picking up other people's old toys on a bargain price. Maybe you do, but I don't.
