Smart phones

[IDB1]

Have any of them equalled the IPhone yet?

Or are they all just wannabes??

Is the iPhone4 REALLY that good??

Need to upgrade my phone real soon and not sure which way to go with it. .

My Mrs has an HTC Desire and is smitten with it. Android does seem like a good OS but I have an iPhone for the next year or so yet and to be frank can't see me changing it

I use a HTC Hero, bit older Android phone but it certainly does the trick.
I've been using RMaps on it this weekend... Upload a GPX route to the phone, it plots it on to Google Earth... Then just ride until your freehub implodes (about 11 miles for me)

Last step is optional.

Yes, there is a better phone; its called a BlackBerry.

Non of this touch screen cr4p, its got proper QWERTY buttons.

Download the BlackBerry App World, put the BlackBerry Destop Manager on your PC and your well away.

Had one for a year or so now and would never, ever want to change it.

That new iphone looks ever so big to me.

If you're after a qwert smartphone the nokias are ok.

Blackberry looks far too cumbersome.. is it a big ol' beast of a handset?

X10 Mini Pro has a QWERTY that slides out.. but I'm not that trusting of SE, they supersede their products far too quickly..

My phone requirements are mainly camera, internet and texting (and for if my family need to get hold of me) .. I don't make calls unless absolutely necessary and don't really like receiving them. :?

I have an N95 8GB that only really lacks screen size and processor speed to be fair.. if I can't make my mind up I'll stick with that for a while until I do

My Bro just had to send a Nokia smartphone back, apparently they are having reliability problems with them...

Not at all.

Its smaller than my wifes Sony Erikson Satio smartphone, which is constantly freezing on her :roll: Great looking touchscreen phone, unbelievable camera (12 megapixel!), but reliability is shocking.

I wanted a Satio (mainly for the camera) until I heard about the issues with them.. even after they were recalled and re-released.

Now it seems like they will be left in the dark because the X10 and X10 mini will take precedence (and there's already an X8 coming out)..

I'm sort of swinging towards the X10 but can get an iPhone4 on a 12month contract for £35/month... same price as an X10 on a 24month :shock:

Camera and video camera on the Satio is stunning, along with the gaming quality. However maybe 2 or 3 times a week it'll freeze on her and needs rebooting :roll:

On this basis alone I wouldnt want one (but then I dont like touch screen phones, I prefer buttons to press!).
