MrBones Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Have a look at the HTC Hero. It runs on Google android and dare I say it but I like it better than the iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 As above. If you're not going for the iPhone, go for the HTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaths17 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 check this link, pretty good for comparing, have been lookin to get a new one myself. havin read the reviews kinda siding with the samsung http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pc/1/Mobile-Phones-Product-Comparison?c_1245810=1245810&c_1184834=1184834&c_1252156=1252156&c_1244547=1244547&c_1223947=1223947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigaro Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm in the same boat, with the same shortlist. Add a Samsung in there too I want a contract with unlimited internet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Vodaphone is possibly unlimited on the Satio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_ Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Here's my take on the list. Nokia N97: Not my cup of tea. Nokia OS gets very samey from one device to another and can start to lag quite alot the more applications etc that you have on it. Its a nice looking phone and have yet to read anything on the touch screen and whether its resistive or capacitive. Nokia do have the Ovi store which seems ok but isnt as big a library as the App Store for the iPhone. Sony Satio: Will be running the same OS as alot of Nokia's fused with the normal Sony Ericsson software which apparently is a nightmare. For example, some icons require a click, others a double click and some even a triple click but there no real way of finding out other than learning them or trying them. 12 mega pixel cyber shot camera is a plus as well as the Walkman software in the one phone which you dont normally get with SE. Its normally one or the other! Dont know if Ovi will work on this but even if it does you will still be limited as Sony Ericsson dont have any type of store other than this assuming Nokia let them use it, I dunno. I Phone: Touch screen is fantastic. Only thing that's not so great on this compared to other phones is a decent camera. Bringing in the lowest 3 Megapixels assuming its the 3GS you're going for. The upside is the 3GS is so quick at loading apps and songs etc. You wont notice any lag and will oblitorate any of your mate 3G models. I had these options when my contract ended. I went for the 3GS and dont regret it. Brilliantly sleek phone. Just wish I didnt need to use a big case to keep it un scratched...but then it takes the look away anyway so whats the point!? Vicious circle and me just having a rant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheriff Fatman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 If you want an expensive toy that plays games, plays music and video, looks nice, but has a third rate camera, and its proper communications tech is shoddily implemented, get an i-phone. If you want a serious bit of business kit, but hasn't a huge range of electronic desk toys get a Blackberry. If you want something in between, look at the Hero or the Palm Pre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destruction Derby Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Contracts up in few weeks, Will be going for the Satio, dunno why but i like it. All depends if this will be available on o2 contract. I noticed on the sony ericsson website that you can get it in a prett cool Bordeaux colour. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/specifications/satio?lc=en&cc=gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slashishere Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Any of the HTC owners know if they magic is comparable to the hero as I can get that on an 18 month contract with Vodaphone for ?17.50 a month with unlimted internet usage, 300 mins talk and 600 text.

MrBones Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hero has a better UI, and you can use any standard headphones with it but it is comparable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuj1 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Have a look at the HTC Hero. It runs on Google android and dare I say it but I like it better than the iPhone As above. If you're not going for the iPhone, go for the HTC. Got an HTC from work doesnt cost me anything and its the dogs. Hero has a better UI, and you can use any standard headphones with it but it is comparable HTC Hero all the way. You won't regret it. Custom ROM's and tweaked Kernels (http://android.modaco.com/category/409/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/), make it even better than out of the box. Plus you can multi-task which the iPhone can't. HTC also recently confirmed that the Hero will be getting Android 2.0 Eclair, once they have applied their UI to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have a T-Mobile myTouch http://www.t-mobilemytouch.com/ It's an HTC phone, a Magic I think - I don't think the same model is available in the UK. I love it - it has some tremendous features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
