android would have all the apps in the world open at once if hardware allowed that to be possible. you should not have to close any apps (definitely on a phone of this spec). if they are duff apps, report and remove it. task killers are evil!

And my old N900, and most other Nokia phones Ive had lol
my current Nokia N86 8MP has it and I've used it quite a lot. Very handy feature IMO.

no apps (or very few) actually run in the background. once it's off your screen it's out of the cycle of apps running so it's no different from closing it with a task killer. an example of an app running in the background is the music app or the navigation app. web browser for instance isn't running when it goes off screen, nor is the messaging app, the weather etc. could be wrong but i'm sure this is the case.
Thanks dude I did that before but calendar kept giving me messages about how it can't sync with google calendar - I just ignored them this time and it worked
REALLY miss not being able to differentiate between getting an email and getting a text message - even my crappy ol ZTE Blade gave the option to have seperate notifications

You can set notifications in the individual apps. For example, go into the stock email app, press menu and select account settings, scroll down and there is an option to change the ringtone. AFAIK, most of the communication apps have this, such as stock mail/messaging, Handcent, Go SMS, K9 Mail, etc.
I literally just found it like 10 minutes ago in K9-mail settings. Thanks dude - I was looking in the generic settings for the phone!.
thanks guys
Wow, what can I say.
You are doing comparisons of contracts of different lengths, so to compare like for like, you either gross up the 12 month contract to 24 months, or reduce the 24 month period to a comparable 12 month one.
You argument is akin to:
Whereas the cost per month is cheaper in the second deal.
When you make comparisons, it is wise to make them on a equal basis.

What you are not grasping is the fact that after a 12 month contract you are free to go on a rolling sim only contract on any network and the cost for the next 12 months will be cheaper via this route than a 24 month contract.
Also consider the flexibility of being in contract for a shorter period of time.

In 12 months time it is likely that costs will fall and that your usage may change. It is likely that the cheaper £10-£15 a month contract will have ample/unlimited internet.
not a bad price mate, still around £400 on ebay, so if you know them and trust them then i would say pretty sweet deal.
have you seen this 12 month deal? might be of some interest

i know im still shocked, i bothered to find the deal and spell it out... but na!
jeees if you can get a 12 month contract for £300 less than a 24 month one.......well that is the mutts nuts, you then become free to move to another provider, haggle a better deal, flip between 12 month or rolling contract, payasyougo, or get a new shiny Samsung galaxy s3!
