Found TPD online and posted it in one day. £64 down, but still, got a phone that works still! I highly recommend them!

Just got the galaxy s2 as an upgrade and it is excellent.

Just a couple of minor niggles for me so far are that the camera lens on the back is the bit that sticks out furthest so will get scratched if you don't get a cover that recesses it and there is no notification light for missed calls messages so if you don't spot them when they arrive you have to unlock the phone to find out if you have any messages or not (i have read that you can download a program that will make one of the bottom buttons glow to indicate a message has arrived but not looked into it further yet).

Like i say, just a couple of niggles, but apart from that the phone is great.

I have the Sensation, it is awesome. Battery life is a bit of an issue but i'm working on that by allowing it to fully empty the battery and frankly the nature of this generation of dual core super-phones means you're never gonna get a great battery life out of any of them in comparison to older phones until they make super-batteries too. I've already convinced 2 of the IT guys at work to convert from their iphones just by letting them have a go for five minute, so it must have some appeal.

the 11th commandment states that; Thou shalt not leave the iPhone for a HTC

#truefact

Is that the word according to Apple?

If HTC could come up with a bit of software like iTunes to tie everything together and sync then they would beat iPhone hands down.

Apparently there's an Android app that works with itunes.

It is more the sych'ing of apps and data that iTunes does I was thinking of, the back up function alone is just miles beyond anything Android has.

I know there are various apps that can do most of what iTunes can, it is the whole lot in one package that is the killer thing.

A common complaint I see of HTC Phones is that they seem to have lots of shutter lag and not grand optics. So they could improve in that area as well.

iTunes syncing won't be much of a strategic advantage going forward for Apple – "the truth is in the cloud" and all that.

I have bad feelings about the iCloud, i like the sound of it but i think it could be a little slow to start with.
