Most consumers think the ability to play with a working handset in-store would help them decide which model to buy, a YouGov survey has discovered.
The organisation questioned almost 10,000 people who were actively shopping for a mobile phone earlier this year and found that 91 per cent thought a ‘try before you buy’ policy …
You can stll secure the phone and those bastards will not be able to run away with it.
I went today to O2 store and I saw a O2 XDA guide. Looks neat but suspiciously similar to my xda orbit 2. The description was minimal and I had no way of seeing what is the difference since it plastic. They dont have or unwilling to show me a live one. So yes, seeing a live one at a store gives a pretty good idea what is the phone is all about; is the interface slow, what apps in it etc... As such i have to rely on outside review which may or may not be accurate depending on the reviewer taste.
Blimey!!! If shops demonstrated the 'ifonie' very, very few of the other makes would be sold, especially Windoze Mobile or whatever they are calling it this month.

All those bastards want is a phone in their hand and a clear run at the door to make good with their legs across open ground.

It might have saved the Ifonie buyers? #
I wonder if the ifonie would have done so well if the muppets had tried it first, and discovered how stupid it is to use.
