Ordered one Loefet. If it's rubbish, I'm blaming you!!! ;)
Muahahah :p

I cancelled the order :lol:

Madame_Furie's HTC Wildfire arrived and it's delicious. I then went and looked at the X10 and it's just a bit too small for me... I like small, but I struggle with my sausage fingers enough on the Wildfire.

So I've ordered a Wildfire instead. I can't see any real difference between Android and iPhone other than price to be honest.

Palm Pixi, but only because it was a free upgrade, and runs on Palm OS...

Everything an iPhone can do, but for just £15 a month and no need for iTunes (always a bonus).

It's got 50,000 apps, but over half of them are free.

iPhone has 300,000 apps, but less than a 1/4 of them are free.

So for free apps, it's about 28K to about 69K.

However, people with iPhones seem to tend to buy the apps :lol:

Android sales are higher than iPhone sales though now in the US, so it's only a matter of time before the apps numbers increase a lot.

For me though, it's simply cost. You can have everything an iPhone does for £15 a month, or an iPhone for £30+ a month.

Oh, and neither the iPhone or this will work with my car kit (the iPod works fine) :)

The only problem with Android is the different versions and the fact that one version cannot work on this phone and the other on another phone. This is what is slowing down the development of apps.

One phone for example will run the app fine the other wont.

I used the phone you have at work the other day and its very good, fast smooth and light. Good choice.

Agreed with Android.. especially here in the US. iPhone cannot match the Android network until it is actually on real service.

I'm torn between a Blackberry and some sort of HTC...

Help?

I guess it depends on how much you want a "real keypad"?

If you're going for an Android phone, go for the "fuller" versions if you can afford it. The Wildfire is superb, but there are some apps it wont run due to the smaller screen resolution. Doesn't bother me, I have lots of gaming devices anyway, but it might annoy a little.

I think the Blackberry is a better kind of "serious" phone. If you want to make and take calls and text, it's probably better. Android if you want "swish". iPhone if you have a lot of cash to put into your contract :)
