Reply With Quotei also have this predicament, ive got an N97, and i hate it, it lags like all fuck, gets pretty damn annoying, was thinking of getting an iphone 4, my mate has one and it seems pretty cool, any pro's cons about the 4?
im looking foward to android 2.2 update for the desire....
damn telstra is a bit slack i think with updates.
just for instance, i pulled it off the charger at 7am yesterday morning, and put it back on the charger at about 11pm last night, and it said 52%.
so i think thats pretty good.

Hmmm im tossing up between the HTC and iPhone. I just think telstras plans are shit. if you go with virgin 'smartcap' and get the iphone you get unlimited txt messages to any network, free calls to virgin and unused call credit rolls over to nxt months. with telstra its just you get what you pay for.
the only reason im thinking of getting an iphone is because the plans available

im on telstra $49, which gives me the phone, $400 of "stuff" to use (sms, phone calls etc), 200mb data (and i got bonus 300mb, some deal at the time) so 500mb total.
last few months ive only used about 150$. im a fairly heavy sms'er, but rarely call, so it works for me. and ive only used like 100mb of the data, as its kinda annoying browsing on the phone, and at work and home i have a computer....so ill just use that if im there. main thing is the google maps i guess, though i dont use that often either....
i dunno what network virgin uses, but i was on "three" before, and i was roaming so often that using the internet was not really an option!
only down side is i have a bunch of crap on the phone that was put there by telstra...and you cant get rid of it unless you crack it. not to bad, just a few annoying programs. but ive got 3rd party ones for most things i use, so it doesnt bother me at all.

for $50 with virgin you get 2gig downloads, $300 a month and unused credit rolls over and free sms's. i think thats the best deal going around so i think im going to settle for the iphone.
if anyone can find a good plan for the HTC desire then could you put it in here as i am not a great fan of the iphone. got myself in a bit of a pickle here
Major pains with the iphone.... (i am not saying that its shit.... just the issues to consider)
1. there are reports the glass breaks on the back.
2. the apps store is controled by apple (android lets you get nudie apps
3. there is no "exit" button on iphone apps, so you must always hold the menu button down for 2 secs, then chose which app to exit after leaving it
4. no removable media
5. still only 5mp camera (if thats an issue for you)
6. ill call you a sheep (baaaa)
7. wayyy less customisation of the phone (compared to other OS)
8. everything has to run through itunes
i got the iphone 4 and its great,
to answer the q's ontop of me
no glass has broken for me so far
os 4 all you do is double click menu then you can close apps from there
camera well if your really a fan of photography why not get a dslr or something cool like film? even so hipstamatic app is great
as for OS customisation if your a smart kid there is no limit really, can put android, linux or whatever you like on it.
and unsure what you mean by everything running through itunes ? i dont even have anything in there
The glass doesnt break for eveyone.... but there have been reports that the back of the phone can break....
yes there is an easy fix to close apps, but it takes longer than other phones (its just an annoyance thing, not a default really)
i just like a decent camera in my phone... saves having both.
OS cusotmisation of an iphone is way out of most peoples reach or effort, other phones just do it better is all i was saying.
and the itunes comment means your phone is basically managed via itunues, contacts ect ect. i found its harder to cusomise alot of stuff that way.
Like i said, i am not a iphone hater.... more an apple hater.
i would buy the iphone any day of the week if it was made by someone else.... but it isnt.
plus i want porno apps hahahahahahaha
hows the music player on the HTC? that was another reason im looking at iphone to have ipod and phone in one
what ? i didnt get an app to close other apps its OS 4 built in its an update,
as for decent camera on a phone if your really into photography your not going to go out and say your phone cameras decent
as for iphone OS its not hard to do, its like people saying jailbreakings hard, these days you can do it with a slide of 1 finger
