Ive just bought the HTC Desire, i just felt that the Nexus One didn`t warrant the extra money for basically one more microphone and noise reduction. The only downside of buying an HTC phone ahead of the Nexus One even though they are both made by HTC is that the Google Nexus one will get Android 2.2 far quicker than HTC will release it for their own range of phones. Apparently Android 2.2 will operate 400% quicker than 2.1 or any earlier releases.

HTC are not exactly quick at releasing updates, i just wanted to be different from the crowd as it seems like almost every hunt as got an iphone.

Best phone ever! Although i want the 3gs

Its like a mini laptop

There just the same Gaz apart from the GPS

I bought one, and was extremely sceptical after my first touch screen phone, a Samsung i800 Omnia, was absolutely terrible despite great reviews. I vowed not to return to the format til it improved and got a standard button Samsung.

I can however, say with great pleasure and relief, that the iphone is quality - it's easy to navigate, smooth to navigate, little to no loading times, and internet is brilliant. In fact, the ONLY downside I have experienced in the last 6 months was battery availability. Now I just have a usb cable in work so no longer have that issue either.

It also works very well, as an erm.. phone. Which is nice.

Totally agree m8, ive got the X10 actually think its better looking than the Iphone also. My partner got the Iphone 3gs, couldnt justify the extra cost shes paying £45 per month

600 mins
unlimited text
unlimited internet access
phone free £35 per month on O2.

The iphone was a flashy piece of kit when it was released. It's browser was the best.

But now it's looking very dated. The software is showing it's age. Turn on the Xperia for example and you can have timescape, which frankly blows the iphone software into pieces. For a lot of users today, phones are becoming social devices more than ever, so having facebook, twitter updates etc are very useful. You get a text or a missed call and you see the persons facebook status. You can then go into their facebook page from there if you wish to comment on it. Or if you take a picture of that person if can recognise their face and tag it in facebook. The internet on it is also incredibly smooth and better than the iphone's browser IMO. The browser on the iphone loads pages very poorly, meaning basic pages like forum links and lists of hyperlinks cannot be opened until the page has fully loaded, as it recognises your tap and then adjusts the screen, sending you into a link you didn't want.

I also don't rate the performance of the iphone as a mp3 player. When plugged into a car through the aux input the performance is very poor. Basic Sony mp3 players are better. There are loads of other stupid features that are all about being fly and not about performance, for example when media is playing and you turn the screen and it changes to a gallery of the album art (Useless) with tiny player controls. The app store is an area people rave on about with the iphone. Some half decent stuff on there, but 99.99% of it is absolute garbage.

The iphone is also probably the most uncustomisable device ever. Unless you crack it, you are stuck with one theme, one set of icons, one layout, it's all very dull. I don't see why they don't just update the software once in a while (Without charging you for it) and try to include features some of the other smartphones have.

I have a HTC Desire and think it is so much better than the Iphone. Its quicker, better camera, better screen, better battery life, the camera has a flash, multiple applications. I would recommend it to anyone.

the Fight Club quote comes to mind, "the things you own, end up owning you"

Looks like we can add the iPhone to your Roll of Death to sit alongside Richard Mathers and the PS3.

and saint helens rugby league club.

Crap phone but a great and easy to use device. I wouldn't swap mine for a gold pig.

HTC Desire is comfortably better IMO.
