Before choosing any phone, you could do worse than check out techradar and gsmarena.com.
Full reviews and functionality tests. Great sites.
I have HTC desire running Android 2.2 I think.
I loved it to begin with and still think its a cracking phone, half gig onboard storage notwithstanding.
After a while the phone started to show gremlin like quirks. Internet suddenly kicking me out, tap a bookmark and takes me a different one, suddenly slowing up. Even right now, typing is a bit of a chore because the memory seems to be held up ajd only one letter at a time comes up, and words takes ages sometimes. To the point that it disengages autocorrect and it both spells the words wrong and adds words because I've hit spacebar and it saves It. I've had to format this in preview amd Its taking an age
Bear in mind I've dropped the phone countless times, Its been in my back pocket for near 18 months and its been fun, not sure about getting another HTC tho. Like android, if I get the same issues on a diff phone then I'll see what other options are there nearer the time.
Galaxy maybe or whatever else will be on the market come Jan '13.
I'm not a fan of the fruit mob. It seems that whenever you buy something of theirs, often you have an attitude transplant that somehow blocks certain aspects of your vocabulary.
For instance. A phone suddenly has a prefix anytime its referred to, instead of it being what it really is, and that, is, a, phone.
Not restricted to their products y'understand. I mean I mind one time a few years ago, a guy at uni said "i'll email the lecturer from my blackbaggery"
He almost had to deal with black eye-ry. I take it this approach is ostensibly less embarrassing than just shouting LOOK AT ME....ME...ME...LOOK AT ME.....
I don't need a phone for that as anyone who's met me can verify
So that's one reason.
Another is cost, ajd a big one was bespoke software that gives you no choice but to use it should you wish to synch or connect to a pc. I like choice. It's an open market after all.
For this same reason I avoided Windows phones. I would rather not have zune infect my extensions and boot up every time I connect. Which is a shame cos I fancy tryin the phones out and I could link it up with lots of other MS stuff I use, xbox, mail etc.
I doubt this helps any but I hope the review sites give some insight. They are generally very good.
I like the look of the note, got a demo and would he good for work stuff I reckon but in the back pocket? Probably not.
