Good arrows Cofe... I was suggesting something from the other end of the demographic

^ Too many buttons.
This is really easy to use.

Speed dial options

Not sure what it counts for but my Nokia E71 spent over an hour at the bottom of the lake in Endcliffe Park only to still be turned on and in full working order when a friendly fisherman lent me his net to retrieve it! (the buggy and Obi's car keys also made full recoveries...)

Bonus!

Its sometimes quite amazing how resilient things are, I put a USB stick through a full cycle on the washing machine and it still works fine two years later.

You'd have to be pretty unlucky to have your washing machines damaged by a usb stick.

slackline · March 03, 2010, 08:27:34 am

I was worried during the first couple of washes post USB faux pas, but my fears were quickly assuaged and its been fine ever since. Wouldn't like to risk it again though.

I use this method to get rid of any spurious points in my data....

I also use the washing machine to generate data.
I get lots of balls (in a national lottery stylee) and put on a gentle spin - then use the order they came out of the washing machine to determine that Accapi clothing improves my climbing performance~!

With the exception of Mrs Obi (know someone with an E72 and it's quite cool) you fuckers haven't exactly been helpful on this page!

Looks like the N86 is no longer available and with no news of when the amazing looking N87 will be released it narrows things down a bit. Mind you, I've got til June.........

cofe · March 03, 2010, 01:22:20 pm

iphone 4G might be out by then pet man ha way....

Jaspersharpe · March 03, 2010, 01:36:52 pm

I've got myself an HTC HD2 and I'm pretty chuffed with it so far. still trying to get to grips with it fully but on the whole I'm happy. its not quite as fluid as my iphone was but I couldn't care less.

I was well hacked off and bored to tears with it! viva HTC!

Mike Tyson · June 07, 2010, 11:14:12 pm

New iphone is out.........

fatdoc · June 08, 2010, 08:05:44 am

for 3G owners off contract by now ( such as me) it probably offers enough to buy a new device. Have to say the video calling looks a bit dodgy, as if i read it right you need wifi and 2 devices... but the battery life / speed and HD video look awesome and for work the mail app changes are useful.

It does look less gay than the last one (not difficult) but I still think I'll hang on to see what this is like:

New iphone looks pretty good to me. New OS for 3G and 3Gs should be out on 21 June too. It was pretty hilarious following Charles Arthur's live blog on the Gaydian, particularly when he suggested drafting in Marina Hyde when Jobs started saying Apple were combing technology with humanity.

24th June no?

I got an HTC Desire a couple of months back and I genuinely can't fault it. If you want a phone with a good camera (not something I'm bothered about) then it's probably not for you.

The Android OS is super-quick, user friendly, customizable. The Sat Nav works a treat (just uses google, but actually gives you directions on the fly like a tomtom or whatever.

There's so many little things that just work and make life so simple. Calendar that links to gmail and exchange. Contacts from work, gmail, facebook (they update automatically if people have thei number listed).

Battery life isn't horrific, you can get a few apps off Android Marketplace that help you manage power useage. I usually get 2-3 days out of a charge. (or 1 day if I use a lot of internet/GPS/wifi).

I ended up ordering an HTC Legend. Bit lower spec (on the processor) and slightly smaller screen than the Desire but so nice looking:

And made from a solid lump of metal which is good as I will definitely drop the fucker at some point.

Just gotta wait for the bastard bank to send me a statement as need proof of address having just moved house (had to do third party upgrade as o2 don't do the Legend direct).

I was thinking I might wait for a Motorola Droid X to land on these shores.

Jaspersharpe · July 06, 2010, 01:54:08 pm

From what I can see there's no word yet on a UK release date........ or do you have better information!?

dobbin · July 06, 2010, 02:58:40 pm

No mate. All I can get out of our Vodafone account team is that I should be testing a Nexus one and isnt it great?
