Dont get the galaxy, they are a botched version of android. They have tried to iphonerize it and its just not as good as the proper android!

Galaxy S II?

[XXB4XX]

in the last week, i've fiddled with a Xperia Play and the Galaxy S 2..

- Xperia Play was fantastic, had me hooked from the get-go, especially playing street fighter on it.. but it's a little fat, and I don't really like playing video games LOL,

- Galaxy s 2, apart from being another iphone clone, it really does have a great screen, awesome video recording and playback, but I HATE touchwiz (stupid over-lay), and also, 4.3 inch is a little too big to be comfortably pocketable.

4.0 inch should be the MAX.

Galaxy S II?

Havent seen the II,

But the original i have played with and compared to my HTC Desire Z which has real android on it, its just limited and too much like an iphone...

2.3 is available to download over the air. Seems a bit quicker and a few nice new options. Worth doing.

Is 2.3 gingerbread?

Is 2.3 gingerbread?

Yep.

Brendan you should seriously look at the Nexus S.

[ams]

I've already found battery life on the desire hd is way better already. Either that or the battery indicator is now broken

[KaizenJay]

2.3 is a wicked quick OS on the DHD.

I am considering installing cyanogen mod though lol

You know honeycomb 3.0 is just a reskinned version of Gingerbread 2.3 for tablets? :-)

Got a Nexus S.
Its Good.

Enjoying my HTC Aria, little slow every now and then (cant expect much with a 600mhz chip), doesnt have flash for the camera, but im quite happy with what i paid for until i upgrade to the desire HD

i recently got a htc incredible. nit a bad phone but i have noticed a trend with this (and most androids) that battery life is quite poor. are there any ways asides from turning off mobile data, wifi, bluetooth etc to extend it.
an app maybe? or just make sure i keep the charger by the bed each night.

[DukeNik'em]

Juice booster or something will help battery life in the htc.

My recent phone is HTC Incredible S, i got it from Optus. Its been a week, and the phone is really great...You can custom, settings on the phone, much better than iphone, i think. i got, 2.3 gingerbread on it. and i think, the battery life is really good too, if u compare to desire HD...

[Coruphius]

i find that if i use the power control widget and turn off, bluetooth, gps, wifi, autosync it extends the battery life a bit, most of the battery life is drained from the autosync for the weather etc. quite a nifty tool inbuilt into the phone, saves time too instead of going into settings etc.

yer same deal as me. just compared to my sony ericsson which lasted up to 4 days (mind you it didnt have internet access) its bad. the battery lasts all day atm, just if its not charged over night, struggles to get to lunchtime tomorrow.
i just installed the above advance task killer. will see how that goes too.
@swaggie yer i have that installed now, see if thats also helps too, cheers

Would love to see an Android do this:

Pioneer AppRadio

[ams]

Trust Apple to offer a radio app as a 'feature'.

Seems pretty slow and clunky and can't really see any features that a normal mid-range head unit wouldn't do. For a (projected cost) $900 headunit, seems a waste.

Yawn.

[Alex]

It's actually an independent third party company (Pioneer) that's adopting the technology that Apple has to offer. (typical android-masturbating ignorance to details)

The technology had to begin somewhere, and the whole point is that hasn't even started with the Android.

It does pretty much everything a mid range head unit does....but...


Check out the price.


don't hate.




anyone who has seen my setup have seen that i've done something similar with my 7" hu and my iphone4.
