HTC every time. Fantastic phones at a fraction of the price of those Apple efforts.

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated, might go for the desire then?



Am I right in thinking that I won't find an iPhone deal for £30 a month (with free handset) anywhere?

Try uSwitch for deals, but I doubt you will get an iPhone with free handset for that price.

HTC Desire is a great phone, I got mine on a £15/month contract with Virgin (200 mins, 2GB and unlimited texts).

Dont go for the desire. Battery is shocking. 6hrs of reasonable use at best.

Depoends what you call reasonable use and it depends what you've got running.
Have WIFI and Bluetooth on 24/7 will drain any battery.

I have WiFi and Bluetooth on on my iPhone 4g and it hasnt gone flat once. I had a HTC Desire for four weeks then got rid because the battery would go by around 1pm after being charged all night. That was without WiFi or Bluetooth but with moderate usage.

Sorry mate but that's pure grade A BS. I can hammer my Desire HD and it gets through the day without a fuss and I have it hooked up to wifi all day and browse steadily while playing Angry Birds etc. You've either had a faulty one or are making it up.

Had the WiFi on all day and used my Desire for the majority of the day on the net/arsing about and the red light has just come one.

My battery should be worse than everyone else's as the phone & batt have been for a swim!

After having had my Desire HD for about 6 weeks now I've found the battery will last for 24-36 hours between charges, that's with wi-fi and autosync on most of the time and mobile internet on while I'm commuting to and from work, everything is switched off overnight.

I was getting frustratingly little battery life for the first couple of weeks but it's steadily improved and now I couldn't be happier with it.

Looking to buy a new phone on pay as you go for a price between £39.99-£60

Any worth buying

T-Mobile are knocking out the Pulse Mini for £29.99, not a super high spec but at £30 a damn good Android phone.
