I find it a bit hit and miss, some of its route choices seem a bit bizarre. For instance on Saturday coming back from a trip out it was showing me 55 minutes to get home, telling me to go in the opposite direction to where I knew home lay. Ignored it and took the turn I knew to be right and immedaitely the journey time dropped to 41 minutes.
It seems to have touble with some postcodes as well, on more than one occasion I have input a postcode as a destination and its navigated me to somewhere completely different.
Quick question. Can the Spotify app be moved to the SD card? I'm debating signing up for a months trial in preparation for my phone upgrade (due now) and a month of nightshifts starting tonight... but I'm currently on my Desire which has all of 26MB internal storage (or whatever it is!).

Seems like the app itself cannot move to SD, not an option on my phone anyway, maybe because it has a widget. I know for sure you can save all your offline music downloads to SD card though. It's done by pressing menu before you log in.
My Spotify is taking up 7.42Mb of internal right now. Just sign up, you'll never go back

My spotify was great until they updated it, now it crashes whenever I open a playlist 
Damn. Probably pointless trialling it on my Desire then. I have to clear data/caches every day to stop it from filling upSeems like the app itself cannot move to SD, not an option on my phone anyway, maybe because it has a widget.

Have you not rooted and installed a custom ROM on your desire then??
It's really easy to do and alleviates pretty much all storage issues.

What's the best Swipe keyboard people are using?
Using a Galaxy S2 if it matters.

Swype, which the S2 already has preinstalled: http://www.swype.com/
Got it on my Play, moved the speed/accuracy slider to accuracy and it's been pretty good.

I've got a custom rom which doesn't seem to have it

If you go onto the Skype website, click "Get Swype", at the bottom of the page there's a download link to it. You need to sign up for it though, but it's free.

Can you recommend any good n64 and sega emulators?

Yup
Gensoid (SEGA Genesis Emu) (version 2.4.3)
N64oid (N64 emulator) (version 2.7)
They are no longer on the market though, but if you have a search around on google, I am sure that you will find the .apk's
And game hunter (version 1.1) is a good app in order to dll all the emulator game files
Again you will have to search around google for an apk though.
