There is also the cost of getting items from either Ovi or iTunes store, the obvious difference between OVI and iTunes, is OVI charges a lot more for there products with some FREE, iTunes as applications from around 50p and has hundreds if not thousands for FREE.
Maps
Over the years you have had to pay for Satellite Navigation, but Nokia have announced that there OVI Maps will be FREE, have they started something here I don’t think so because none of the big manufacturers of Satellite Navigation have followed there suit, so for a decent Satellite Navigation System on the iPhone you will still have to pay for it. However there are FREE Sat Nav systems out there for the iPhone.
