Orange talked me into trying a new phone out, so the MotoDEXT arrives on Friday. Touchscreen and full hardware QWERTY.

Seems ok spec, and thought I would give the whole Android thing a go as people seem to be raving on about it still.

Does anyone have one already. Seems to get pretty good reviews, and said to be one of the most complete Android phones out there at the moment. 7 days time will tell. Cant grumble at the price.

The phrase you're looking for is "choad fingerz".

Thats the word at work amongst the 16 year old "Scunny ped cru"

Snazy

You are a right 'tart' that is for sure

Snazy

PS, 1.6 was called Donut haha, the worst by far.

The OS itself seems good though

Don't talk to me about touchscreen. I have just got that new Nokia jobbie and I flaming hate it.
Give me good old fashioned buttons, anyday

I have the Samsung Tocco Lite touch phone and find its easy to use. I cant keep up with technology, its scary

Lee247

I did not want to push my luck. I changed from O2 to Vodaphone and got the iphone for her highness. I settled for the lesser being

Lee247 which nokia have you got?

Snazy the DEXT is 8 months old now its about time Orange got some new Handsets apparently nobody wants anything except the iPhone well that is what rententions said when i asked for my PAC as you have to go to Vodaphone or T-mobile if you want a different hand set

Lee247

Not the latest, as my Son has the next one up. I wanted the iphone for my daughter so, like I said, did not want to try it on. I got the iphone for nothing with her contract. But I have to say, I hate the one I got, with a passion.
This is it

I dont want a pure touch screen phone my current handset is very old and has both buttons and a touch screen so i have the best of both worlds, i dont understand how you text on a touch screen with out looking at the screen the whole time?

Will

All your phones ar crap!! This is where it's at

Adrian F

from what i have read that should be an iPhone

The Zohan

That's about the size of my current phone, maybe time for an upgrade

I had one of those too I left it on the scuttle panel of my car and drove off, it fell into the middle of the road and caused a multiple pile-up (no-one was hurt before you ask ). The phone survived but three lorries and a van were written off

Snazy

The temptation was there, but this is a lot cheaper a month, and a more realistic handset for me to give half a chance. Maybe if I get on with the touchscreen side of this I can move on a bit lol. Just thought I would give something else a go for the time being. Its not going to replace the Berry any time soon.

DEXT was launched Oct/Nov so yup its a few months old now, but its not all about having the newest, more what is suitable for you. I dont need an new phone, I dont actually need to renew this contract, I just fancied trying something a little different to what im used to.
£15 a month for 500 mins/500 texts, unlimited internet and a free phone, who am I to argue lol.

I like buttons too, which is why the DEXT is a good halfway house for me. This way I can give it a fair try and see if I can get one with touchscreen.

Why have you got so many contracts? doesn't make sense to me.

GazTheHat

Whoah, who is that with? I pay Orange double that for the same deal, with no internet. Dolphin or something.

My contract has just expired, so i can finally get rid of my faulty Samsung Tocco thing.

Don't really keep up with phone or whatever, but wouldn't mind paying as little as that per month.

Snazy

Long story, I am kind to my family, lets put it that way lol. I will be cutting back, and am slowly but surely

ah I remember you saying in a previous thread.

I'm due an upgrade as of tomorrow. Sticking with the 9700

Says the man who changes his phones more than I change my pants !! And that is saying soemthing as I am currently going commando

StickyMicky

You said you were going to stop the family contracts about 2 years ago!

Did her highness and lady of the house, she who must be pampered to etc etc get the iphone problem sorted ??

And I have resisted calling your household again. The last time I did the language coming from your potty mouth about your phone was enough to make the cat leg it !!

Leslie

I don't even want to think about that!

Snazy

You are getting one then? Tis a good little thing really. Will be interesting to see how the DEXT compares for the day to day requirements. Some have said its a great step, others ran straight back to their Berrys.


lol thats all changing, honest. Im only getting this to play about with a different OS to Symbian and BB, but in the long term wont be in a hurry to replace the 9700

Thanks for the mental image dude YUK!

Yes, I took the phones which were for my niece and nephew back quite some time back, but they still had contracts to run. I have lent the sims to people I trust until the contract comes to an end, and wont be renewing them It was actually about a year, probably a little less.

On a lightler note though, I can now get rid of 2 of my Berry's the 8320 and the 8520. The mobile phone recycle sites are offering just under £150 for the pair Thats the next 10 months of line rental paid for lol. (for the new one anyway)
