After having a second Blackberry Storm break I pissed and moaned to Vodafone today after they offered me a replacement reconditioned Storm. I told them to get fucked (in a business like manner) and they offered a Nokia N97 Mini, HTC Legend or HTC HD Mini as a replacement
I went for the HTC HD Mini as it seemed the best one given the choice. Anyone else got/had one of these? What's your likes/dislikes?

As said, send it back and get the Legend. Android 2.1 (and allegedly 2.2 is in the making) is an amazing bit of kit!

you'll have a few days cooling off period with the contract.
so send it straight back for the legend.

it's a geek thing, i think. i have no clue what it's all about. i just choose whatever phone suits my needs, not whether the processor and other bits run at maximum capacity and have a better name.

A geek thing would be to choose the widows mobile, can get tom tom n shit like that in win mobile. Android has no positives as far as i can tell.

It's not a geek thing, it's because winmo 6.5 is shit.

Fuck me I forgot about the SPV. I had one of those. Didn't last 24 hours on site. Screen broke after a fall from a foot high. Took it back, pissed and moaned to Orange and got a Nokia instead.

Unless I get a chance to hit Private Browsing I don't touch CS in case I drop myself in it with the missus, she doesn't need to see how many times I've been through the Post a Facebook Fittie thread.
Getting back to the Legend - never looking back it is t for temendous. Quick, loads of apps, smooth, not dropped a call yet, easy to stick all my contacts on. I'm not going to preach but I'd take this over the iPhone.
