Right, i know i'll probably get a load of responses from both camps here but i'm going to buy my first android/cool/good/internet phone this month. I'm really stumped though with which to go for.

What do people reckon?

Galaxy S/Omnia/HD7?

Any help is much appreciated! :)
 
Cheers for the responses. Gonna go into 02 tomorrow and browse. Might pick one up aswell if theres any good deals. Looks like Android is the way foward at the moment as it's more mature.
 
I'm gonna go have a play tomorrow at 02 but i think i'm gonna wait for this Galaxy 2, looks like it could keep me entertained for a while! Anyone have any idea when this is out?
 
Yeah, looks like it's going to be a few months. Gonna go for the Desire HD i think, being watching some reviews on cnet and other websites...looks like a really good phone, lots to play around with!
 
Yeah i've heard this about the battery life, gobsmacking really that the battery is so poor. Whats the battery like in terms of leakage? i've found the Nokia batteries quite poor at this, they lose a lot of their reserve when you charge them without them being empty. Nokia have really lost their way i think...going nowhere!

BTW, why you got so many phones? You a drug dealer? :p
 
Popped into O2 just now, had a play with a HD7. First impressions were nice, slightly too big the phone i thought, could have been a little bit smaller but that's just personally preference. It's very sleek and professional, seems like a solid os and with time should mature quite nicely. Someone earlier mentioned the homepage and everything seems a bit empty, i can really understand this as it does'nt have a lot of colour to it. White, blue, bit of green, that's about it really! Quite boring!

Still stuck with what to do, the Galaxy not having a flash has put that one out the window already. Very bizarre! Still think it's gonna have to be a Desire HD at the moment due to the app store.....still a lot of research to do first though as i'm still sitting on the fence between windows and android.

:D have'nt really got anywhere then have i?

They did'nt have an Omnia unfortunatley, getting more on thursday. Gonna go back and try one of those aswell, don't know what to do! :(

To be honest, any of these phones i will be completley smug with...especially upgrading from a Nokia 6730.
 
Yeah this is what i'm thinking. I like a physical keyboard aswell, i hear you get used to touchscreen but it just does'nt feel the same for me. There's really good deals here for the Desire Z.

That £35 p/m O2 one seems a steal, if i'm reading it correctly i will get 11 months at £17.50! :eek:

Is that correct?
 
Hmm, bit of a pain but it's worth it i suppose. How reliable are they in actually giving you the money back? It says the money will be given to you sperodically. Can imagine a bit of skimping does go on. Bit annoying!
 
Thanks for pointing that out! I did'nt notice the rental did'nt have data included. I'm on Vodafone at the mo, think i'm just going to stick with them. Can get a £35 p/m inc insurance with 500 mins talk, unlimited texts, 750mb data. Seems very good! Free phone phone of course.
