In a month I'll be eligible to upgrade my horribly slow Symbian-powered Samsung INNOV8. My fiancee has an iPhone4 and I admit I like it very much and would like to get one. Before she bought it, we looked at the HTC Desire and it also looked like a nice phone.
On this forum there are a lot of people who like their Android phones and the phrase that often pops up is that "Android is much more customizable" but I'm still unsure if that would benefit me. I bought my INNOV8 thinking that I'd be able to do lots of exciting things with it, but in the end there doesn't seem to be a great deal I can do to it (I'm sure Android has much more support).
What do people actually do to their Android phones? In the past I'd have been attracted to the idea of tampering with a gadget just for the sake of it, but now I'm not that bothered unless it's something really entertaining or beneficial. Is it all a case of downloading CPU meters and altering the priority of tasks to save battery life, or is there more to it than that?
I think what I'm saying is that from what I've seen, the iPhone4 does what I want, but I'd like to hear if I'm missing out on something that might make me consider (specifically) the Desire HD. Tinkering about with a phone does appeal, but in my older years I generally use an operating system as a platform to do things I want (email, web, games), rather than seeing the OS as a challenge to be moulded to my will.
