Had a Dell Streak for a month now. I am paying £30 a month on a 24 month on O2.
Good bits
Great camera
Big screen is a help rather than a hindrance
Sat-nav is better than a Tom Tom
Playing music etc very easy, sound quality very good through headphones
It's ridiculously fast at loading things
Bad bits
Built-in speaker is crap
Battery life not so good, but it seems to have improved a bit now
Can't use upright on home screen, although this can be solved by installing Open Home if it bothers you that much
Cases and accessories from Dell are expensive
Would be nicer if the USB/charging cable was longer
Some third party apps won't make use of multi-touch stuff with it running Android 1.6, this will be fixed when they bring out FroYo for it though ____________________ H100 Breaking for spares |

ive got a 5230 using the symbian os
its a bit bulky compared to the iphone,
but the satnav uses proper downloadable maps
so even if you are out of the network area you still can use it,
map are free, and you can get nearly every country,
it browses the web pretty well, and had handwriting recognition
plus it only cost $300nzd (about 120 quid)
there arn't as many apps
but i'd still rather it over the iphone,
as im anti anything apple, ____________________ the humans are dead

Love it.
8MP cam, the media player is good enough for me.
8Gig card comes with it - Photos are really good.
Runs like the Iphone in regards to touch screen
android market is good.
Im really happy with it - only prob is battery - which I have to charge once a day, all depends what your running.
I have downloaded a free app to disable some apps that start on start up.
Much prefer this then the Iphone Imo. |
Don't bother with the task killers, they do more harm than good. Android is designed to disable apps after they have been idling for a certain period of time (well either way, it just closes them if you aren't using them anymore, it just knows ). The task killers actualy make your phone run slower and i found it made my battery run out quicker.
I had a HTC legend (for sale ) and now have a HTC desire and wouldn't look twice at another phone.
Tbf i would go for an android phone (slightly biased maybe, i dunno) however, be careful which one you go for if you do. Some are only running Android 1.6 (some even 1.5 iirc!). The htc legend, desire and the google nexus one are all on 2.1 (amongst other android phones but can't remember which) with 2.2 just around the corner (unofficial roms are available). I'm not sure if the phones currently running 1.5/1.6 are due an undate to 2.1/2.2 so you will be best off doing some research first.
You are never going to get proper camera quality pictures from a phone, yes some take pictures better than others but how often do you need a crystal clear photo when out and about and don't happen to have you proper camera with you?
Anyway, HTC Desire's can be had for £350-£400 brand spanking off ebay. I got mine for £290 because it was locked to t-mobile, £8 unlock code and job done  ____________________ It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, then it's bloody hilarious!!! |

Im holding out for the HTC Desire HD as the HTC EVO 4G wont be coming to the UK. I was looking at the Desire but will wait for the Desire HD, currently have the HTC Hero, i like Android OS, the streak does look good but a big big to use as a phone imho.

Also waiting for the Asus Eee PAD as i think it will be better for me than the iPAD. ____________________ Current: 2019 Yamaha T7 -> 2015 KTM Superduke R | 2000 Yamaha R1 Past -> 2009 KTM 990 SM -> 2005 kawasaki ZX10r -> 2000 Honda CBR 600 FY -> 2002 Honda XLV 125 Varadero

ive tryed the..
Iphone 3g
Iphone 3gs
Iphone 4
HTC Desire
X10 Xperia
( and a few more, but these are the 'main' ones)
...
The iphone 3g, obviously dated, but it does what you need it to...
3gs... Runs alot faster and smoother... Very very good phone, i use one of these every day.
Iphone 4.. Runs very very nicely, Very well equiped.. will upgrade to one of these next i think.
HTC Desire.. My mum ended up going for one of these.. Very nice phone, runs very well with the touchscreen, i just dont like android + market.. Yes it comes with satnav, but jailbreak your iphone, and its free anyway...
X10... Bag of Sh*t... Runs so slowly, very non-responcive, lots have been returned due to connectivity problems on either signal, or 3g, or wireless.. Apps run for no reason when you dont want, and will keep popping back up.. Returned one of these 3 times.. and ended up changing phones...
All in all, id go for the iphone 3gs or 4.... Jailbreak it , and bobs your uncle... - Nothing about names or anything, they just are the better smart phone imho. ____________________ 1978 MZ TS 250 1 Supa 5

Got the HTC Desire free for 30 quid a month with 900 mins and unlimited everything.
It's the first time I've ever had a smart phone, or a contract phone for that matter. Not had a chance to really get the full use out of it yet, but so far so good. Some of the apps are quite good and usefull whereas others are just pointless.
Just dont do what I did and leave on the auto upload to photobucket or facebook and take a pic of your errect penis to send to the wife via bluetooth to annoy her, while you are on the toilet and she is cooking home made soup. Didnt realise until a few hours later . ____________________ Current; 10' Aprilia Dorsoduro 750.

Thankfully I dont have a facebook, and my photobucket aint exactly visited much, although it could have been very messy. Would have been interesting if it was geo tagged to panoramio. "Oh I wonder what there is to do around Motherwell withing 1.5 miles, WTF!!"
Thank fuck there isnt a "BCF Upload" app  ____________________ Current; 10' Aprilia Dorsoduro 750.
