I guess I have to estimate the value... £500? Having bought one too, I felt it was time to update my home/contents insurance too. I guess I have to estimate the value… £500?

There is a massive opportunity for app development on these two - i'm particularly loving facebook, digg and weatherbug right now! all the latest are here: http://www.apple.com/webapps/ Hey Neil, you’re right this really does change the game! i got an ipod touch earlier this year and the wi-fi and safari browser option is awesome.

I've been in, looked at it, played with it and it doesn't capture me at all. I would rather have the iPod touch. The camera is probably the big stickler for me - the Sony (and free) k850i is shipping a 5megapixel on it and that's where Apple should have been pushing for. Also - and I may be wrong - I hear it can't be used as a data storage device/mini hard drive. And while I know the touchscreen is revolutionary, there's just something nice about pressing buttons (also, the keys are awfully small). v2 or v3 might tempt me but that's a while away. In the meantime I might stick with cheap phones (I've currently downgraded to a Sony z600 because it has the best sound of any phone I've used) but I hope everyone that forked out has fun with their phones!
