It really depends on the applications you use.

Android still can't compete with iphone games and more commercial applications.

I'm getting an iPad, so I don't mind so much.

I barely play games on iphone..

Only one ive played seriously is angry birds...

I mainly use shareprice.co.uk which has android app, camera, ipod, facebook, Ebuddy, Nateon, Shazam, Orblive and maps

Just looked and they all have Android equivalents or versions... so hows the battery compared to iphone 3gs?

Order sent to warehouse for dispatch tomorrow. :)

Although I'll be on orange, it appears I will be getting the unbranded and unlocked brown version.

I can confirm this.. any sim card works in the one that mobiles.co.uk sell and it's definitely not branded :)

If 500MB isn't enough for you you can add another 250MB for ?5/month.

Man , really nice pic , can u make it as a wallpaper for me? :p

1440x900

PM please please

BTW the review is not professional , but far better than those detailed ones which do like a post mortem of the hardware. At least i could understand things here :p

Sure - just some quickies. If you want anything specific let me know. Also, I am no great photographer so I apologise in advance for the pictures (click to make bigger)...

Great pictures of the black version, thanks (Y) I really love the sleek font Android uses for it's interface :yes:

It's called Droid Sans and is available for free download. Do a Google search for it ;)

Also the black one looks nice, cheers for the pics. :) Sometimes I wish the iPhone 3GS had a softtouch back. My case will have to do.

Got mine a few days ago! Despite never owning a touch screen before, I pretty much instantly gelled with the Sense UI! I was extremely impressed. A small learning curve (I come from the ye olde era of the k800i - still a great phone btw), but nevertheless still pretty easy to get hold of. -REALLY- hoping this baby gets 2.2 quickish so a 16GB MicroSD card purchase won't seem so... pointless :p

The black Desire looks gorgeous too.

@m?k

I love your photos, outstanding.

I wish i had that eye for photos.

Did you encounter any issues plugin different headphones ?

£15 per month on T-Mobile.

How did you manage that?

Mine arrived at 7.05am today :D. It's a good phone, but it makes me want to buy an iPhone 3GS or 4G :pinch:

Good Points:

  • The look
  • Hardware - Speed, Camera and Screen
  • Sense UI
  • Widgets
  • Multi-tasking
  • Notifications bar
Bad Points:
  • Marketplace - Dollars, Euros and GBPs?, lack of applications compared to iPhone.
  • Google Mail application - I need to try a couple others.
  • Keyboard - I'm sure I can change this too.
  • Find the physical buttons uncomfortable to use

The App Market is continuously growing, currently at over 50,000 apps/widgets. Android is newer than iPhone so would be smaller and it's only very recently that Android sales have exceeded iPhone sales in the US.

Everything else you note is configurable via apps. The Gmail client is push if you use Gmail and is very good.

I want one, things stopping me so far are the cost and the fact I would need to repurchase my Co-Pilot licence. All together I would be looking at around ?400, currently can get ?140 for recycling my Touch HD so it's certainly tempting.

Why would you need to repurchase your co-piolot licence? I have reset my hd2 a couple of times now and i can always enter in my licence number and it activates every time.

    • Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

    • Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
    • I totally agree no one should trust governments AND big tech companies that have near monopolies in certain market segments. The difference is of course citizens at least have some say in government. Yes, requiring Apple to open up Sirsi to other AI backends is in the interest of EU customers and certainly "opens" up the platform a crack. What are you saying? I wish the US would regulate tech companies more here and even break them up in some cases. Granted trusting the government to do it right is a crap shot at best but what is the alternative? To allow a few tech companies to continue to run everything and just print money? It's crazy to me for example that in most of the world 99% of communications go thru Facebook servers via WhatsApp. What kind of dystopian world are we living in?
    • You can.. make sure you have ADB tools on whatever OS you are running, plug your phone into your PC give it approval to talk to the phone then run this command. adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome So long as you leave Android Webview untouched it wont break anything on your Phone to do this. I have been using exclusively Firefox mobile since it was released.
