Hi all,

Sony Xperia X10

Where from too seems to be lots of places with lots of different deal. you guys used anyone inparticular that has given good service?

I have an HTC Magic Vodafone and it's pretty good considering the price. Google backup is very useful and there are loads of applications to download for free or a small fee. Crashes every now and again and the camera is crap.

I know its not in the choices but if your changing companies any way. Go with a Iphone bloody handy!

Don't fancy an iphone and the first outlay for one.

I've had an iphone 2g and 3gs. recently upgraded to the HTC Desire and instantly sold the iphone's. Showed the desire to several other 3gs iphone users and they are all converts now. The Android system is very similar to the iphone but just better now with the new updates. It is also an opensource development so it is evolving at a rapid rate whereas Apple have become stuck up and have closed their doors on multiplatform developers which is going to be their downfall. Especially as every phone manufacturer is now releasing an Android phone.

HTC Desire has a nicer feel to it (less bulky), faster processor, better 5MP camera with flash, Double the resolution, LED screen, and more customizable operating system. Plus you can purchase extra batteries, memory is through a micro sd so if not happy with 4GB upgrade it to 16 or 32 etc...

just my 2p

I phone is overrated. Crackberry or HTC if you are serious about business. Remeber, Apple say what you can and cant do with that phone, not a problem you'll have elsewhere.

of those two, I have an HTC Touch HD and it has its foibles but I have a ton of stuff installled on it and theres a lot of stuff on there that is really handy from the box, so the HTC wins.

HTC Hero my partner has is shaping up to be a good phone too, and it has something similar to the App store if you really need that.

Loving the iPhone actually but windows jockeys do seem to enjoy the NTC devices. Make sure to dump explorer and go with opera for better browsing behaviour.

Next iPhone will have better camera and battery life to cure it's main bugbears and I hear that os 4.0 will bring multiple thread support. Of course the ipad really needs that feature more.

HTC desire arrive today - looks great and loving the optical trackball onthe front - Shame I cant use the damn thing yet as they did not send the sim pack with it Ahhh well time for a moaning email....

You'll love the HTC stuff as its a great platform to work with over things like the iPhone.

I'm wanting to get my hands on a Nexus One when they are released in the UK as they look pretty good too and have the latest version of Android

The Desire appears to be pretty much the UK equivalent of the Nexus one, same processor and software.
