HTC every time. Fantastic phones at a fraction of the price of those Apple efforts.

| Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated, might go for the desire then?
Am I right in thinking that I won't find an iPhone deal for £30 a month (with free handset) anywhere?

Try uSwitch for deals, but I doubt you will get an iPhone with free handset for that price.
HTC Desire is a great phone, I got mine on a £15/month contract with Virgin (200 mins, 2GB and unlimited texts).

Dont go for the desire. Battery is shocking. 6hrs of reasonable use at best.

Depoends what you call reasonable use and it depends what you've got running.
Have WIFI and Bluetooth on 24/7 will drain any battery.

| I have WiFi and Bluetooth on on my iPhone 4g and it hasnt gone flat once. I had a HTC Desire for four weeks then got rid because the battery would go by around 1pm after being charged all night. That was without WiFi or Bluetooth but with moderate usage.

Sorry mate but that's pure grade A BS. I can hammer my Desire HD and it gets through the day without a fuss and I have it hooked up to wifi all day and browse steadily while playing Angry Birds etc. You've either had a faulty one or are making it up.

| After having had my Desire HD for about 6 weeks now I've found the battery will last for 24-36 hours between charges, that's with wi-fi and autosync on most of the time and mobile internet on while I'm commuting to and from work, everything is switched off overnight.
I was getting frustratingly little battery life for the first couple of weeks but it's steadily improved and now I couldn't be happier with it.

T-Mobile are knocking out the Pulse Mini for £29.99, not a super high spec but at £30 a damn good Android phone.

| I may wait and get a new phone for around £89.99-£100.
Looking at the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 anyone know anything about it and if it's worth buying.
Cheers

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Europa on Payg from phones4u, for £70, my first ever Android phone, and very impressed. Upgrading from 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 isn't difficult either which makes a big difference, especially for using it as a modem connected to my laptop. I got it on t-mobile and got their unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £10 a month.

I would look at you T&C`s regarding that one, so be careful if you are using your phone as a modem.

Massive difference between the Desire HD and the Desire mate. The HD has a lithium battery, the desire does not!

| Answer to this is probably NO
I bought music on my orange download 20 songs which are all copyrighted and saved them to my memory card.
I have put this memory card into my new phone on vodafone and none of them will play so i was wondering is there anyway round this or have i just wasted £20 on songs?
