Does it make calls and can you text with it?
Fucking expensive toy really, isn't it?
It can also cut your hair. Well not yours, but generally. |

That's deeply hurtful. |

for instance I've added speech to text on mine (and a modified keyboard) just by installing a couple of application files. The original keyboard is still available to use as well, so it has not required any risky process which would lose factory defaults for good, or a risk of turning the phone into a brick.
How did you do this? I got as far as downloading the voice data, realised that it still didn't work and promptly gave up. |

im actually thinking of getting rid of my HD2 and getting a desire, I was warned about WinMo but chose not to listen, Its a superb phone but if only it ran android as opposed to WinMo.

The HTC Evo 4G looks interesting. Basically a better HD2 but with Android. |

So, not having used a 'smartphone' before and as I can upgrade my contract next week do I look at phones only with Android on them or are others equally as good, I'd probably use it for internet, email and the standard phone bits and maybe use the camera, battery life is key though as I have to charge my current mobile every few days and I don't use it that much
Any recomendations ?

My Desire arrived today! I wasn't in however... so my iPhone gets at least 24 hour stay of execution.

If you want decent battery life, don't get a smartphone.

Oh and a new android update should be out very soon, whether HTC port it over quickly is another matter mind.
Fixes the niggles I mentioned in my rundown and will be 2.5 times faster with no hardware changes.

Cool... are updates to Android generally easy to apply, or a bit more convoluted than the iPhone OS ones?

I'm assumnig that benefits of the smartphone are that you can access email and browse the interest as and when you want to, what other benefits are there ?
