The TPU UK Clubhouse

I don't see what all this Android fuss is about! Call me old fashioned, I use my phone to call and text, if I wanna access anything online I use my IPad 2

An IPAD 2 is more expensive then a top of the range android phone!!!, its cheaper to have a phone that does it all

besides its great that you can go on TPU or watch youtube or listen to spotify when your waiting for something (like a train etc)

I don't see what all this Android fuss is about! Call me old fashioned, I use my phone to call and text, if I wanna access anything online I use my IPad 2, I get a free high speed Mobile dongle for work use so I just connect with that if I am out and about and there is no freebie wireless available. Seems a lot of money to me just so as you can access the interwbz with some reasonable (albeit small) visuals and speed.

well we prefer not to carry the ipad around + buy the addtional data package for it. buy a decent phone save £300+

Pfffft, you think they compare? You think that you get the same options? You think squinting on a poxy little screen at my age is good lol

Have you seen the size of Some of these phones, you can barely fit some in your hand and if you want a tablet the android ones are cheaper too

If you need anything more then an android phone your better off getting a laptop anyway

Lol what phone you using now Kieran??

Still the vile Nokia 5530, i flipping tell you symbian is one shitty OS. The battery is crap but one good thing is the construction its durable. For simple phoning its okay but the UI and OS are really slow and unintuitive, has youtube too but the UI for that isn't that great either.

I wanted a Galaxy S but i always thought if they could combo the great screen on the Galaxy S and the camera on the Google Nexus S (made by Samsung too) you would have a great phone. Dual core phones where only around the corner so there wasn't any point in getting a Galaxy S.

EDIT: There are quite a lot of second hand HTC Hero on ebay http://phones.shop.ebay.co.uk/Mobil...le_Phones&_sc=1&_sop=15&_trksid=p3286.c0.m301

EDIT: I dont see what all the fuss is says the IPAD 2 owner! LOL ironic or what? Also Freedom just get the brand new HTC Hero from play better being off that way incase the refurb is scratched up and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Ipad lets see £500 (guestimate) for an Ipad then a year later 'OH LOOK NEW BETTER IMPROVED IPAD'. I bet all the original Ipad owners where crying then, maybe not im guessing they bought the second version too.

I got so desperate to get rid of my samsung that i almost bought my mates Nokia 5800 for £60

when i had a Samsung i spent an entire week trying to buy my friends Sony xperia x8, my Samsung really was a truly S**T phone, interestingly though i started to like it the same week i got my HTC Wildfire so that was a bit depressing, still while my Samsung was incredibley reliable it also lagged (who else actually had/has a phone where you have to wait a few seconds to wait for a 20 people long contact list to load)

 

[MilkyWay]

Whats wrong with the Galaxy S II and the original? just because they may have had some shitty phones doesn't mean those 2 are like that. Im not a fan of the mini or anything like that.

I went right off sony phones i used to have a k800i solid and reliable phone for its day but the new smart phones from sony just kinda meh to me.

I have tried HTC, Samsung, Motorola and Sony android phones, I can honestly say that HTC are by far the best build and the Samsungs have the best designs and camera.. Motorola is a blend of the Two and actually end up better than it's counterparts minus the camera... I have loved all my phones...

But sony they are trying too hard to achieve a sort of PS3 world, it really doesn't work for a phone.... Plus build is Meh and optics are so-so

 

[kurosagi01]

I had the Nokia 5230 and i bricked that piece of crap and now i have the blackberry torch which is one of the most high end phone i have ever had in history lol.
2nd highest on the line is my old LG viewty lol.
In my state of mind HTC was 1st phone manufacture to use android right??
And the whole ipad2,i rather have the iphone instead,smaller has similar features to ipad2 and its portable and not many people will try steal it off you. Why because its safely tucked in your pocket and ipad well i like carrying a big bag for it lol.

i know someone who has the galaxy mini, good phone from what i've seen (me and my freinds all have andriod phones(i got my HTC and everyone just appeared to think 'i want one of those')

Thanks for the reply, have to say i agree with what you said. Just have to wait for the new nokias with windows mobile on them since they are moving to windows mobile (symbian os was shit anyway good riddance man!). Nokia used to be a good brand years ago but the smartphones they have are shitty.

someone i know has a htc hd7, i tried to get them to buy a desire s but they said the desire was meant for 'fun' and not 'work', they then went and bought a phone designed for movies and games with full Dolby and xbox live support.

their ok, not what i'd chose to listen to but i'd put up with it if it came up one the radio or something

I used to have a N95 before, so same boat there, it would take ages to do anything. hopefully nokia take a look at android soon too, i might go back to them
