As for apps that don't come with the phone, I use:

Local news/weather app
FM Radio (I think this came with it)
Pandora
EasyTether (freaking great!)

Internet works great on the phone so I use that instead of most web based apps.

I'm impatiently waiting for my local carrier to roll out the HTC Desire, which one of the guys in the know tipped me was coming "this fall sometime." Hate waiting!

I have my eyes on this phone. It's big, but hell, it's sexy too.

Might have to call myself Captain Compensator if I get one.

It's gorgeous, kinda heavy though, but IMO worth every penny.

Heh, you've not used webOS then, shame the phones are such crappy build quality (I own 2) :\

To be fair though, I've yet to find a truely good mobile camera, even the 5MP on my Streak isn't that good.

The Moto ZN5 (Kodak 5MP) was also a decent camera, but they still can't beat proper cameras. I can't wait until wide-aperture lenses find their way on to phones :)

Haha, I got 2 Pre's (Selling one) and I still use my Pre as my main phone, webOS is just too nice an OS for me to give up.

They should start selling professional camera's with phone's built into them imo :D Since size isn't that much of an issue it could work.

My brother inlaw (from Manchester) has a Samsung Memoir. He is a professional film editor yet he loves this camera with a phone in it.

EDit I just found out the memoir uses TW. no wonder he can zoom around my phone.

No idea about the droid x (tho it's an awesome phone) but the galaxy S is imo the best android smart phone in the uk atm. However we should be seeing 1.5ghz phones soon and maybe even 2ghz by the end of the year so might be worth waiting a bit more.

just hope the next wave of phones actually all get released in the uk :/ (wish i had an evo 4g :p)

You don't wish you had a evo4g. The only good thing about that phone is the wimax radio. Snapdragon v Hummingbird in the galaxy S. I agree with you about the galaxy s (the vibrant is a galaxy s).

Thanks for the link. I always like seeing what the rest of the world has to offer in tech, but it's usually much more scattered information than this. And I like the winner choice :)

Anybody else notice that they chose majority Android phones? I'm so excited for Android and its future!
