Ive just realised, i hate them! Only had it 5 hours, and i despise it. I was told you fell in love and soon couldnt remember how you lived without
one.
Whats gone wrong? Just lots of little things that bug me. It keeps loading orangeworld.com, even when ive set my homepage elsewhere. I dont want F*all
to do it orangeworld! And the email stuff is shite.
Sorry for the rant. Anyone else had bother?

I can't be doing with smart phone battery life, terrible. I recharge every 4 or 5 days, girlfriend sometimes twice a day. I played with a smart
phone a few times and I got annoyed at the virtual keyboard, I kept mashing multiple keys

Not a Sony Xperia is it?
Luckily I have a blackberry which I dont consider to be a "smart" phone. However the mrs has an HTC desire thing, touch screen no buttons
and it can really pi$$ me off with its "way".
I will stick to a phone thats got buttons.......
Good luck tho' try and get to grips or it will end up in the for sale section......
Everyone who doesn't get on with virtual keyboards on smartphones needs to try
Swype
I'm about to upgrade to iPhone 4, so will probably have several pet hates about it in about a week or so!
I avoided touch screen phones for years but I'm really happy with my desire. I can type faster on the qwerty than I could on my n85.
Yes, the battery life is pretty rubbish (I just about get 2 days now the battery's run in) but it goes to bed with me every night so it gets
stuck on charge. I charged my n85 about every 5 days, but that ran out of charge on me more often than my desire has.
I don't use many of the bells and whistles, but as a phone, I find it's really good.

Got a Nokia X6 and it does my head in.
The detector that stops you pressing keys with your face, doesn't.
Changing to a Blackberry real soon.
Only thing that I like about the X6 is the alarm. I love that. It's soooo gentle. Doesn't try to give me another heart attack when it goes
off.

Just get an iPhone and your problems will be over
Cheers!
I agree... Had an HTC Desire for a couple of weeks, it irritated the crap out of me. I was all about to revert to a regular phone but was talked into trying an iPhone 4... Problem(s) solved. I've read all the anti Apple propaganda (got friends who write some of it) and there's a part of me that would love to hate the iPhone but, in this market, they have the best product by a mile.

I have an HTC desire and its the right device for me. Iphone is slick, very slick but it has some problems which I couldn't live with. For
example, being forced to use Itunes which I hate and the COST, plus the fact that if you break your screen it isn't covered by their insurance.
I don't need any other software to use my desire with my PC. In fact I don't need a PC at all really.
I'm not anti-apple, If I thought they had a better product I would get one. Apple got a big head start, they were the first and got the big
market share. The playing field will be levelled out over time just as it did with the browser wars, IE, netscape FF etc
Plus, after moving from an IPOD touch to Android I have been astounded by the range of free app available!!

Iphone 4 all the way. Recently upgraded from a 3GS version and the battery life is much better on the 4.
Wouldn't go back. I'm a convert of the 'smartphone'
I have a HTC desire and its great. I do a lot of emailing off it, typing is good on the keyboard - compared to a blackberry (my other half has one)
with its microscopic keys there is simply no comparison. Using the HTC horizontally you can get a good typing pace on.
I suspect the android apps are a bit behind Apple (eg functionality of ebay and paypal apps that I use a lot) but I'm with the anti-Apple crew.

Yeah nothing will work and if you have any sense you'll bin it, no phone no problems!
From the person yet to find an iphone owner who can say it does everything they want it to and it works perfectly
As others have said, not all smart phones are the same by a LONG way. Try all the rest then try an iPhone.
I'm certainly with others on the hating iTunes, but I rarely have to mess around with that to be honest. I only plug it in occasionally to check
for updates and back up.
The thing with the iPhone is that it just works out the box and is incredibly simple to set up and use, unlike a lot of other smart phones.

I wouldn,t be without my Smartphone now, went from a basic old style cheapo phone to a Blackberry, hated it within an hour of getting it, quickly (
same day ) changed to a Samsumg Galaxy S, wow 
what a phone that is.
Once I got over the intial "play peroid" I,ve found the battery lasts about 2 days, Swype function is amazing & the speed of connection
to the internet is great...wouldn,t be without it now.
As others have said, get your phone to run as you want it & I,m sure you,ll start enjoying it.
cheers

android is the way forward. works the same as iphone, as far as i can tell, almost exactly the same, but without having to do everything through
itunes, which is great
itunes pisses me off. so does apple really. its all hype, over another product which isn't really any better than the others.
my dad had his ipod stolen (he's got 3?! wtf?) and his nokia mobile phone gets a terrible signal in the house. my mum told him his ONLY option is
to get another ipod AND an iphone! wtf?
people just blindly get iphones without seeing there's better out there. and there is! Android
very soon there will be more apps for android then there is for iphone, they're quicker to come out for android because they don't have to
go through apple to be approved, they can just be released. no itunes nonsense. and the actual running of it, going through music files in the media
player, selecting photos, pinch to zoom, menu layouts, the keyboard for typing etc, all exatly the same
My Desire HD is cheaper and better than an iphone (flash, no itunes, bluetooth works) and it saves me so much time 'cos I don't have to tell
everyone I meet that I have an iphone 
i went into the phone shop at upgrade time a few months ago, with the intention of getting the iphone 4 to see what all the fuss was, but no way was i
going to pay the £200 they wanted. went in, the guy said, unless you really really really want an iphone, don't get one, the htc desire hd is
better and yours for free.
and as said, i can bluetooth photos to friends!
ooh and if you don't like the qwerty keyboard, you CAN change to a normal phone number pad (pressing keys up to 4 times to get the letter you
want etc)

samsung galaxy S, every test and comparison I have done with mates iphones, only 2 areas of comparison did the galaxy S not quite match up, on the
screen brightness, highest setting, the iphone was a tiny bit brighter, but who runs them at full brightness anyway, and the galaxy s doesnt have a
flash for the camera
other than that, the galaxy rocks, very fast connection to the net, huge selection of android apps, I download free music, average song comes down in
about 8-10 seconds I guess.
theres a few apps for SMS etc that are worth downloading that are better than the supplied software, but just personal choice
Mini-0pera is the tool for browsing not Orange world.
On my second HTC Android phone, don't know how I managed with my previous Nokia N thingy.
Have got an upgrade due in June and as it happened my wife is doing a comparison between Apple, Blackberry, Android and Windows Phone 7 (She gets paid
for doing it) and I am very much liking the look of the Windows phones, she finishes on Saturday so I will make my mind up then, wifey has already
made her mind up, Windows Phone for her.

I can't believe people are still buying iphones given the ridiculous price
I'm the same - I think the iPhone (and iPad) are very clever machines, but I'm not prepared to pay the high premium for owning them. I am also uncomfortable with Apple's way of business and their view of customer relations.
