Which phone and where from???

[john johnson]

some one on here has a pre release on the google phone and it has a lot of features of the i phone, we compared both and its a cracking phone. The initial bugs were being ironed out. The screen and camera are miles better than the i phone and i would rate it. I have had my pie phone for ages and love it but there are some good bits of kit out there with many copying it. Im due an upgrade and nothing really takes my fancy yet as its so good. One thing is how often it updates and how easily compared to the pie phone

I have a HTC hero. Using it to type this. I think it is great. Any how tos on how
to setup hotmail? I just view it on the net but is there a better way?

went for a desire
(gulp)
will see how it goes......

HTC makes the Googgle phone.
All reviews I have read say how good the Desire (and to a lesser degree the Legend) is. Everything now seems to rest on the new iphone due out later this year, but with competition hotting up, it will have to be something really special to justify the high prices being charged for the iPhones.
My upgrade is also due soon and I think it will be the desire also.
Cheers

The guys with Android 2.1 on the Desire etc, can you do me a favour.....

I had the G2 on T-Mobile last year but returned it as there were some features it lacked compared to my N95 but there was talk of some of what i wanted being included in Eclair (2.1), could you check for me please..............

- Can you take a picture of something moving without it being a blur - on my G2 unless everything including the phone was completely still it would blur BADLY

- Does the phone have a flash and able to take pictures in low light conditions?

- Are you able to transfer files, eg Pictures from the camera, or MP3's etc via Bluetooth?

- What kind of battery life are you seeing with this as my G2 seemed really poor


There was some other stuff but now i cant remember, the camera and BT thing tho are the main things as its a very handy feature for when i travel with work to quickly snap something and BT to my laptop or nabbing ringtones etc from mate.

I know the camera stuff is a bit of an ask as its meant to be a phone, but as my now ancient Nokia N95 can do all of this really well i dont think its unreasonable to want a brand new phone that can at least match this quality
Cheers

saw your post earlier,
i tried some pics, with the cam moving, and tbh they were a bit blurry.

also bluetooth, at first i had some trouble, but finally figured it out. the incoming file/ mp3 hides at the top, you have to drag it down. also,the dialogue box to promt you to accept the file dissapears really quickly.
again hides under/ at the top
yes there is a flash, seemed ok/ good in low light. (just took a pic in the dark)

can't really comment on battery life, been fiddling most of the day, and it did need topping up earlier, already.

it does show just how good the n95 is!!

still a fair bit of getting used to required. for sure.
luckily t mobile gave me a 2nd free sim, (with internet) so am using that, have not switched over fully yet.
have put opera on there, and a little look at the app market.
anyone know how to remove that embedded message from the wallpaper?

i tried to reply using the phone, but somehow it didn't work and i lost it.
good old trusty netbook! (n95 could have done it easy too)

other things, to do with messaging / contacts are still a bit strange and not as functional. the predictive text keeps turning on.......

hope that helps

The N95 has to be in my opinion the best phone Nokia has ever made. There are still things my 2 year old N95 does easilly and well that by brand new HTC cant do. OK battery life sucked but you het used to it.

Nice solid, well thought out phone and a pretty damn good camera too.

There seem to be both WinMO and Android versions of each HTC platform now.

One thing in particular, i have the a-z maps on my n95, and can use them with gps, if i want. They have them for the win platform but not android(yet).
I will be starting a new job monday at (last) an a/c engineer in london. My phone is a fundamental tool on so many levels.
(have a new company car, 09 zafira )(arrived today)
(typed easily and succesfully on n95)

Also, The customization/ navigation of menus...easy to rave about how good the n95 is.

Thanks Phil, that answers things nicely.
I think im gonna give the Desire a go, see if it makes it past the 14 day trial, its been a very very long time since a phone has (My N95 doesnt count as i got it from work but as you and others say, its def the best phone Nokia has made and has so much functionality for a phone thats been around so long)

I am enjoying the Desire - very good at what it does and I have been plau=ying with it for a good lenght of time - battery is a bit pap but I have a spare on the way so can carry one with me also a car charger came with my pack so I can keep the think on the power most of the time which is not a prolem (my last phone nokia 5800) was about as bad tbh with all the stuff i used to get it to do so no quibles for me. The Desire is permenantly on with regards to internet but you can slow it down by changing the update times (5 mins to 15 mins etc etc ) which wil help battery life. Google maps is ace too if you download the newest version and the text to voice app which works along side it -
And i still do not have my sim!!!!

P.S. Bluetooth etc is all very good just have to learn how to use the phone - got a few films on mine etc and it is all fine (need a bigger micro SD card though and it can take up to a 32GB )

N95

That's a joke right?

Iphone but it's not the phone it's the Apps till the others can match that, Apple have got it in the bag.
