Do the HTC's not have the 'Power Control' widget, which is a bar with on/off switches for wi-fi, bluetooth, gps, automatic updates and screen brightness?
With Android phones there are also several really good utilites on the app market where you can set profiles for such things as those mentioned. So for example you can say that between 12pm and 8am to turn off everything as you'll be asleep.

I have the Sensation and its fantastic, the battery life is a slight issue but there are ways of getting around this (not least getting yourself a spare). You should be able to get some fantastic deals online and see if the high street stores or your provider can match/beat them if you want to go down that route. It's super fast and responsive, and I've had it for a good few months now and not had one instance of it crashing or switching itself off etc. Though apple fanboys will tell you that Android doesn't have as many apps, all of the important ones (and free ones at that) are generally available for both platforms these days. There are two new versions of the Sensation being released soon, one with an even bigger screen and one with something called beats audio, which i think is something that has been advertised recently on laptops, so you may even be able to get a better deal once they come out.

| I went from from a Samsung galaxy Europa and got a new 64GB iPhone 4S and glad that I have. iCloud works fine, allowed me to download music and videos I had previously bought but deleted by mistake ( forgot to back up to ext hard drive) no crashes or anything, unlike the Samsung which crashed all the time. Not bothered with Siri yet.

That is absolutely shocking. Every phone will get dropped from time to time, the screen on the iPhone really has very little durability.
I wonder what all the Apple fanboys on the Steve Jobs thread will make of it. I can hear it now, "Apple revolutionised the art of buying a replacement phone off ebay for £300".
Putting it in a case seems the obvious thing to do, but they detract from the physical coolness of the phone, which for Apple phones is half the point of the thing.
What I don't understand is why anyone would take out a 2 year deal on a 4s, when the 5 will be out in 6 months?

iPhone: June 2007
iPhone 3G: July 2008
iPhone3GS: June 2009
iPhone 4: June 2010
iPhone 4S: Oct 2011
iPhone 5: Anytime soon
Fact is, most mobile operators are tying people into 18-24 month contracts. Whatever you get your phone will cease to be the latest model before your contract expires. My HTC Desire was old hat almost immediately, but it still does a bloody good job and is a great phone.
That said, anyone so desperate to get the latest iPhone needs to get out more.

I don't know why anti Apple people get so uppity about people wanting a new Apple product. If you don't like it, fine, but the reaction of some people is laughable.

Will it? You know this do you?
I think it's unlikely to be released until next summer, maybe even 12 months away, who knows.

I can see it being rushed out, Apple are heavily investing into Contactless payment (NFC) which they intend to start adding into their devices, the 2012 Olympic village is being kitted out with Contactless payment (NFC), they won't want to miss it and I'm not sure it's something they can just add into their current phones by way of an update, hence the 5.

The day anti-Apple people stop getting uppity about people wanting a new Apple product will be the same day people who do have an iPhone stop asking "why didn't you get an iPhone" when you get a new phone or when you buy a Galaxy S they say "it's just a complete copy of the iPhone" which is pretty much what happened to me when I got mine!
My contract is due an upgrade next month and I'm thinking of upgrading to the Galaxy S2. Any word on when the S3 might be released??
