Reasons? I'm not use to the touchscreen feature of iphone and the better models of HTC are rather bulky (relative to E71).
Some aunties were deciding loudly on which models to buy at SK mall's Hello! on Saturday. Sorry I didn't need to eavesdrop, they were so loud!
"Ah boy, which one better? This or that?"
"This model can store more songs"
"Hello, Ah boy now using the shop's phone to call 1626 to check, no more the blue model, only left white and silver. But the blue nicer leh."
"What do you think about this one?" (pointing to the E71 model)
"Good-a-not, can send email?
"Cheaper than the sumsung"
"But very ugly"
"Nevermind lah, just ask the sale person to show us these models"
I was next in the queue, so aunties' conversation ended :)
