I'm paying £17 a month with Orange for my HTC Hero though i have been with them for a while now. Hero is doing just fine though my head is getting turned by the HD2. Looks a super piece of kit.

I went looking at the HD2 today whilst in the trafford Centre and yes it does look a fantastic bit of kit but i think i'd have to carry my rucksack everywhere as it would never fit into my pants pocket so think i may end up going for the Hero with the 2.1 upgrade. The missues wants a Palm Pre and the best offer the guy in the O2 shop would give me was £30 a month with 300mins unlimited texts/internet/WiFi but may have a word with my mate who works for O2 just to see if he could sort me a deal out

I have no interest in mobile 'phones nor people's obsession with them. To me they are a tool to be used for practical purposes and as rarely as possible.

Having said that, in my experience Samsung's look pretty but are absolutely useless to use and fall apart. My wife has always had Nokias and has never had any problems. Indeed, I currently use one of her cast-offs, that was then cast off by the kids and is years old. Its the best 'phone I've had. I gave one of the kids a flash Sony Ericcson that was bought for me as the Nokia does a great job.

I've had numerous Samsungs and never once had a problem with them. Always been reliable for me, and as i said, never had any problems with them. I also know that Nokia are very reliable phones, hence its a tough decision and i'm still deciding. The only phone i've ever had a problem with was the Sony Ericsson W580i, the buttons kept cracking and some buttons would eventually stop working. I took it back and they sent me a new one, only for the same to happen again. I also no a few people that phone and they were having similar problems, so i'm not a fan of Sony Ericsson, although, it may just have been that model.

I was looking at the Desire on Orange but the missus has had no end of trouble since switching to Orange from O2 at christmas. Was looking at the deal 3 have for the Hero 500 anytime minutes, unlimited text/internet, unlimited 3-3 calls and unlimited skype calls £25p/m

I've been looking at going down the contract route and want a HTC hero or HD2 what deal did you get? only looking at paying £25.

I got the HD2, but sold it unused to buy the Hero + some £££.

With Vodafone - £25 a month, unlimited texts, 500 minutes, unlimited internet.

You can get the same deal as above but for the Hero on a £20 a month tariff, I opted for the HD2 and to sell because I needed the cash.


Still no complaints about the Hero, still loving it.

Got the HTC Desire yesterday.

Initial thoughts are that it is a excellent phone.

Bit of battery guzzler though, but im sure i can turn off things that i dont need.

After reading a review of it, if you turn off the "always-on" updating of facebook, Twitter and the like, the battery life increases.

I've got a HTC Hero which is a good phone, but the Desire looks like several steps ahead.

Just downloaded locale which should help a lot by turning things on and off depending on where i am.

Can you recommend any other android apps?
