if you're not worried about warranty get the phone rooted via the UnRevoked technique. then you can upgrade the phone with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the new Sense 3.0. there are various new Rom images out there that are being improved every day. one rom (cyanogen AFAIK) is even updated nightly

I suppose talking about nothing but how good Apple products are on a forum designed to be about the Subaru Impreza is totally normal?
Shock horror, some people might not like what Apple desides is best for them.
It's called choice fella and thank god if have some!

So whats better out of the Desire or the Galaxy S? The wife can have either free for £18 a month. She's cashing in on her brand new iphone 3gs Apple replaced with no quibbles just over a cracked headphone socket at 9 months old. She only took it in to ask how much it would cost to fix and they gave her a new one.

i find the desire a nicer phone, galaxy s feels a bit plasticky and runs a basic feeling version of android, where the htc has the htc sense over the top of it which makes the phone feel alot more polished and fluid. also we have sold quite a few of the desires and galaxy s and we've had quite a few more galaxy's back in for repair then the desires which we've had hardly any back.

Cheers, the wife has been reading this http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-...2739?artc_pg=1 and seems set on the desire. She's off to play with one in carphonewarehouse. I've never had an android phone so will see how it compares to my iphone4.

the iphone i think is still the best smartphone on the market but you pay heavily for it, the £18 deal on the desire is a cracking price for a phone that is still over £300 quid to buy. i work in carphone myself so i know when a good deal comes up and the unmlimited data that comes with the talkmobile contracts is brilliant, no small print and as much data as you can use.

I thought the Desire is now around the £200 mark?
Also, has anyone got any experience of the Talk Mobile network and reception quality?

I'd opt for the Desire S over the regular Desire, just for internal storage (app space). Would take either over the Galaxy S, just for better UI and build.

Ideally want o2 or tesco deal but there are no good deals at the moment. I got my Son 500 minutes unlimited text and 500mb data for £10 a month rolling contract on Tesco but that's £15 a month now i think with no phone.

Well went to Carphonewarehouse this morning and after calling their sales line and then checking in store the deal was still on my wife went there looked at the desire and once agreed to have it when the bloke went to put it through on the till the deal had been withdrawn 
It was put up to £25 a month and he said there was nothing he could do so told him don't want it then and left.
Got home and I called Tesco mobile and got 250 mins, 5000 texts and 500mb data sim only deal for £10 on a rolling 30 day contract so the wife has that now and keeping her brand new replaced iphone 3gs.

i emailed head office today about the deals being withdrawn and haven't heard anything back yet. you can guess how we felt when we have put people onto these deals like you were and the rug gets pulled out from under our feet with no notice when they come back to finalize. always makes us retail staff look crap when they **** about.

Why in the world would you want to send an mms message? Please please tell me why you would want to send an extremely low res image with text and pay a premium for it when you could email a high res for free????

It's my wife. My son in law lives 170 miles away and she get's a picture of her grandaughter sent every couple of days. Her Nokia c3 did it no problem but the HTC really struggles. New sim's on the way but I think it's Vodafone clutching at straws.
