    Try to get Android, it's very customisable. HTCs are generally good, but imo blackberrys are overrated.

    HTC is your best bet because they run android and are solid phones. Also the more are sold, the more pissed off Apple will get <diva>

    HTC Desire is great, the HD version is not. Go sensation if you have the chance.

    Aye you cant go wrong with the Sensation. But the Desire is still a great option.

    As phone hardware goes they are pretty much the same with 1 Ghz processors (although the Sensation has a 1.2 Ghz Dualcore processor <yikes>) its the software that decides it. I reay cant stand the Apple iOS, never been able to. While Android lacks the almost sterile polish of iOS its much more flexible, free and userfriendly.

    I do worry that google be using it to cream every little bit of information from me to probably learn stuff about me I dont know myself.<tinfoilhatsmiley>

    In our work we have a range of different types of phones and I have to say the iPhone 4 is my personal davourite. My bro had that HTC HD you were talking about and to tell the truth they overcomplicated it.

    One thing that you should know is a lot of HTC's have a restrictor on the sound level, meaning the ringer, music and volume without headphones seems quite low, just type into google HTC volume too low. This can be partially fixed by an app, but that was the initial reason my bro ditched his.

    Girl in my work went through an HTC & Samsung Galaxy before ended up with the iPhone 4. I've had a go on all of them and I have tos ay the iPhone for me is the best out there.

    The new iPhone 5 is out in September and its still all rumours at this stage though 1 thing confirmed is that it will be preinstalled with the new iOS 5 software. All earlier models can upgrade. I think one of the best things about this will be the option to send text, videos, pictures etc for free to any other iphone. http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html

    Disagree. Some mates at work have the HTC Desire and HD version. Good phone but I'm happier with the Iphone.
