    Gonna buy the Dext pictured above and run it for a while then pick up a HTC Legend



    Good choice I think. Just read Symbian 3 is delayed until the 3th quarter this year. Nokia is fading away..hope they make the jump to Android soon.

    And SYmbian 3 is only a stop gap to Symbian 4. Taking too long

  3. You probably have more hard disks than GBs has mine

    This is nice though:-



  5. Which is only $530 at the moment with the not-so-good Euro / GBP exchange rates. I still wanna get something that actually works - should a new phone with a replacement battery (6500 slider) lose a complete charge in under a day sending a few text messages, maybe three or four and making a few 30-second phone calls? Bluetooth is off and so is everything battery-hungry. As well as becoming extremely hot on those calls, like untouchable?

    And the keypad is stiff as fuck, like you press to unlock and it just says unlock and won't do anything for about six presses. Have there been many problems with that model, if anyone knows?

    If it's too hot to touch then the battery is done for.

    Keypad was below par on that model


  7. And it's dead slow too; I swear after working today I switched it on and it went so slow for about 30 minutes and even now it's slow as all hell.

    I hate the fucking thing - you know, I never had any real trouble with Nokias before but after this I'm thinking twice about it next time. Might go with Samsung or a Blackberry next time - at least they supposedly don't fuck up after three months and they actually believe the problems you're telling them, not saying there's never been a problem so yours should be fine. I think I'll get the battery replaced yet again, or just sell it off to some poor sod. Anything to get rid of it. I just hate the bloody thing. The keypad is ridiculous - one second it works the next you can't even write a text message without having to save it and start re-typing. That's terrible.

    What's the go on the HTC phones at the moment? Which one would be worth actually going for without many problems like the 6500 has and do they support 3G and what OS would it be running?
  8. HTC + Android is a win. I have a Legend eyed up


  9. Not liking the shell on that one so that's out straight away; the Hero on the other hand...maybe I'll take one of those. Android looks fun too; I need a bigger development area than iPhone OS, which is terribly limited so no more of that unless for personal enjoyment. Even then it still sucks hard.

    The Hero is a plastic legend minus some processor speed, RAM and the OLED screen
