I also asked our IT consultant and he reckoned nothing comes close to it.

There are lots of phones that beat the iPhone hands down on specs, they have trouble though on the application front, and that is what makes the iPhone so desirable.

Android though is building its applications list by the day, and is becoming more than a challenge to apple and there iPhone.

Even if it is just because there is no one company saying what you can and can't run on YOUR phone.

iPhone's are good phones, like alot of Apple products they are easy to use and stylish the only down side is the poor battery life and no flash support.

iPhones aren't good phones. they are a great piece of gadgetory, but the phone element of it isn't as good as a nokia i had 6 years ago. Battery life is crap and reception is poor. That being said, I wouldn't swap mine for a gold pig.

Small amount of RAM - now if this works the same as other android phones then that is not a lot of room for installing apps. It has a SD Card, but untill 2.2 is rolled out, there is no way to install apps to the SD Card unless you root the phone. 3. Its fecking HUGE, it would remind me of the phone used on jackass... HELLO, IM ON THE TUBE.

I plan on looking at the HTC desire. I'll ask again, having had numerous problems with CPW, i'm looking to go direct with Orange when the contract runs out in July, will i need to go through the usual guff or will they do it with just an old bill infront of them?

Re: Mobile Phones : Tue Jun 08, 2010 11:32 am  

Dont go with Orange, they stick shed loads of apps that cant be removed unless you root the phone (Which voids the warrenty). Your better off with a CPW version as that is a unbranded phone.
