Works fine for me. Only other issue i have is with the maps thing which doesn't get my exact position sometimes and can be pretty confusing to read if you have no idea where you are or which way you're facing.

its a geeks phone. Function over form... But aestheticly lacking. Sure geeks are clever and better at Maths but....Find me a well dressed geek?
Id rather an iPhone as its just polished and stylish yet functional.
You will get fanboys both sides but essentialy its like comparing a knife to a fork.. Both have a common use but differ completely.

My mate made a good point, could always sell the HTC & buy an iphone for around £100 more
Can't think of anywhere else where you get an iphone for that much on a £25 tariff

Aye but i got fed up of waiting for something that'll probably only be marginally better than the current, but still on the same inflated tariffs.

You tried the Dolphin browser? From what I've read it's got multitouch zoom options but I don't know exactly what you mean as I don't have an iphone.

It's pretty much always online so i'd go with an unlimited tariff just for peace of mind. T-mobile offer them and it's due on o2 soon too.
I'm happy with mine, although my fat fingers aren't quite used to the touch screen yet.

Where is the tmob tariff, the only one i can see is 1gb or unless you pay for a full price tariff you get 3gb with an android tariff but you can get a lot better deals in terms of phone costs

I've just got mine and I'm pleased with it. 600 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited internet and satnav for £36 (due to a £4 discount with my maw being a nurse) per month for 18 months. But I got the insurance as well as I had trashed my iPhone within a month  With Orange btw!

I like that you can link a FB profile to a contact, but one of my friends has about 12 numbers listed  Can't find a way to delete any of them
