Heddiw mae pris iPhone o O2 wedi gostwng o £269 i £169 - mae'n parhau i fod rhy ddrud i mi gan mod i'n gwsmer ffyddlon i Three mae nhw'n cynnig yr HTC TyTN II (gwerth £400) a'r Nokia N95 (sydd gwerth tipyn hefyd) i mi am ddim ar gytundeb tipyn mwy cystadleuol na chytundeb O2 i'r iPhone.

So for example, if you’re typing “hello”, and it goes onto a new line, the h would appear as a g. It has a problem with the double-press you would need to make a h.
The menu keys aren’t well thought out. You can’t...
