Android apps

Android is a very good and stable OS plus the marketplace for apps is more extensive.

Blackberry OS is also good but apps are costly and normally business orientated.

I use the phone mainly for business and checking emails etc so I'm going with Blackberry.

 

Thanks, defo gonna go with the andriod then as I only need it so Mrs Maximus can chow my ear off & to piss about with when I'm bored!

 

ESPN GOALS - Allows you to watch all the goals and highlights soon after they happen, on a saturday you might have to wait till about 5.15 to see all the goals
plus its FREE

 

AVOID Samsung they use BADA OS which is ****

 

As most people have said ESPN goals, Skysports Football Centre and Skysports News apps are all good for the footy. Not sure if it's also available on android (have an iphone 4) but aroundme is a useful app, as is vouchercloud. And Angry Birds is strangely addictive.

 

FYI, don't get a HTC Wildfire. It's a good little phone to get you started on Android, but a couple of months down the line you'll regret not going a bit more upmarket. Although I'm not even sure if they still sell the Wildfire anymore.

 

I've just got the Wildfire S, wasn't looking for anything too expensive.

 

Cheers guys, have got all the footy ones now, anything else useful? have done some google searches but they don't seem too interesting.

Yeah, I'd imagine the Wildfire S is alright. I own the original Wildfire so I can only speak for that one.

 

I'm looking at the Wildfire S, Sony Eriscsson X10 mini pro & Samsung Galaxi ace. Any recomendations?

 

Check the OS

 

I've got the HTC Desire S, cracking phone!

 

Android. Is that better than what you talked about further up the thread?

 

The desire is £17.99 and the Wildfire S £12.99per month . Not sure if it would be worth paying the extra for what I'll be using it for?

 

I've got the Sony Eriscsson X10 mini pro and it's ****e, battery life is terrible. Less than 6 hours on high usage, less than 15 hours on medium usage and about 22 hours low usuage. Basically needs charging every night!

I charged mine 100% the other night and 2 hours later it had used 13% just sitting on the arm of the chair. Didn't even have any of the features turned on (GPS, background info etc.) I have to use it on the lowest backlight setting to prolong battery. Wish I'd never bought it, can't wait to get rid!!!

 

yes i have Bada (no decent apps, Ridicules priced, cant get not606 app)

 

Cheers, I'll give that a miss!

 

Reading a review, aparently it's screen is limited in size & limited room for apps.......

 

its just useless, camera on the wave is **** slightest move and the pic is ruined
