    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I am glad to see from all the posts its not only me that destroys phones. I go through that many but i brought a tradies one last time and so far so good had it 6 months and no problems. I have thought about getting an iphone after seeing pictures on one a guy i know has but i no for sure i will scratch the screen. I had a touch screen one from ebay once before and once the screen was scratched every time i tried to put in a 9 it would put a 6 unless i hit a certain corner of the 9.

    The picture quality is awesome and the nice big screen you can show them to customers and the can easily see the pic and you can zoom in. So you could show potential customers well this is one i did earlier.

    I am one who has broken many phones during work. I bought an otter box for it (refer courty's link above) and have not damaged it in the slightest.

    The features on the iphone are brilliant, i can check emails for quote requests etc. I can use the internet, find local suppliers through goggle searches and best thing is the Weather Bureau app i downloaded with weather forecasts, current temps and more importantly weather radar.

    Really a very good phone with many good app's for us guys.

    Have had an Iphone for a year now has a prodective film over the screen and is in a protective rubber cover .

    Its an awesome phone especially having the weather radar at hand knowing if we can sit out the rain or if rains on the way or if its time to go home due to rain.

    Sits in top pocket

    Love all the games got over 7 pages of apps

    Gordon why don't you have a look at Gopher. I used to try and use Outlook for scheduling. It was a complete pain. I bought a copy of Gopher and haven't looked back since. Beats the hell out of trying to schedule in Outlook
    I've just started using gopher, i normally use a card system, which i will keep for a while until i'm more confident with gopher.i'm on the trial version

    Guys, Ive had an iPhone for nearly a year now. It is great to use as an office assistant, phone, callandar etc. I can get weather results in one click. Memos, reminders and more.
    Great for entering customer's details, follow ups etc. All in one phone.
    Ive dropped it on the ground a few times and it hasnt broken yet.
    Im on a plan with Optus $59 per month. $480 calls and unlimeted text and multi media. I think it's up to 3 Gigs of internet also.

    And goggle maps for searching new clients or for the quickest way to another client..
    So far , I have not gone over the monthly useage. And it works out better for me instead of the old pre paid I used to have.

    In my opinion if you aren't into flashy cameras or blue tooth accessories get a nokia 5140i. I've had 3 other tradie phones and numerous other phones but the 5140i has out lasted all of them. As well as being tough as nails it's also got a thermometer which I haven't found in any other phone yet.
