Brian had experienced the first iPhone, and was attracted by Apple's decision to open up the device to third-party applications.

He was also keen on the new version's 3G capabilities. "The original one just wasn't fast enough," he said.

"I like the Exchange compatibility too," he added. "I'm an IT consultant and need to have that technology behind me. The style of the phone also looks good for clients."
