The big mobile phone debate...

[Viney]

So

Iphone4
HTC Desire
HTC HD7
Nokia N8

All have good and bad points. How you meant to choose?

Help

What do you want to use it for - the key question when chosing a phone.

[Viney]

Well if i wanted just a phone, then id get a basic phone. But they are all smart phone, all do thier thang all on different platforms etc.

I keep looking

I want to talk to other people by telephone, and let them hear me, and I hear them. I know it sounds simple, but I cannot do it on the cheap and nasty nokia rubbish thing O2 have given me 3 times. They have finally acknowledged there is a fault on some, but cannot say which until it goes bluurrb instead of voice.


I also need dual sim. So I can carry one phone but accept personal and work calls.

Occasional mobile internet access would be useful. Texts don't want/need.

Personal use, maybe 10 calls a month outgoing. But need to receive.

Also needs to have SIP and wifi.

Please recommend phone and package.

Take out the Desire and add either the Galaxy S or the Desire HD, Since I hate apple then I would go for either of these, I have the Galaxy S and love it.

This was said to be have been shot on a Nokia N8

How do you embed a link?

Oh I have the desire which is okay the internet works well on the phone, was able to download a word document I need to some info off it, then put into the Sat Nav so not bad. The camera seems better on my frinds Iphone 4, but I haven't really set the camera up on the phone tbh. I would like to get the HD version of it to see if its any better.

I could have watched content of Iplayer as well, but I was doing that over wi-fi but I used my laptop as well its better! If use a use the web, sat nav ect it drains the battery within 1-2 hours I would say. Plus side you take the battery out and memory which is very useful.

V - I love my desire. I read about issues with the battery life but to be frank, I've found it to be a load of ********. Using Sat Nav does drain it fairly quickly but contrary to what people suggest about just having wi-fi and GPS enable draining the battery, I've not thought it was too bad. I have found whilst I've not been well that on stand by, receiving email and the odd text, it's last about 2 days without charge but when getting normal usage (emails, texts, a few short phone calls (or long if from GG), picture taking and short bursts of internet usage) it lasts about a day. I charge it whenever I go to bed.

It is extremely customisable (is that a word) and I started with the 7 blank homepages and added all my own widgets and stuff. I love the interface, its so easy to use and to be honest I think it is a million times better than the Blackberry I had before.

Would fully recommend the Desire.

Cheers mic and metal. I like the look and feel of the hd but on o2 it runs windows.

Just remember, its a phone, not a life style choice.

Which one do you like best V ?

+1 HTC Desire is excellent, even more so now I have found a good sat nav app.
