Touchscreen phones

[big_Bear]

I think a lot of people have a love hate thing with the iPhone. I know i do. I love mine but its p*sses me off something rotten. Apple being apple is also a contributing factor. But HTC are coming out with some amazing things too.

Now is definitely not the right time to buy a phone. HTC are about to dump a load of new gear into the market. Microsoft is planning a few surprises too. And the iPhone is due for a revamp June/July-ish.

Yeah the HTC I'm looking at is one of those new ones, and I'm deliberately avoiding Microsoft and probably Apple. I pretty much know what I'm after; just gauging how bad the touchscreen is for text input.

I must admit I'm struggling right now to hold off on the Nexus One...

Thanks for your input so far folks!

My upgrade is due on monday , was thinking of going from the Blackberry Bold to the Bold 2, but also liked the Storm 2. This gets some bad press, anyone here had one?

Sony Ericsson X10 is due out next month, also 2 mini versions, the X10 mini & X10 pro. I currently have the X1 and love it. Touchscreen + slide out keyboard. The X10 looks the business, uses android apps aswell

I haven't sorry Lee.
BBHD, that looks promising! I would like to go Android if possible.

Blackberry for very hardcore email users and iphone for everyone else. IMHO (20+years in technology) everyone else is just just playing catch-up to these two.

Wait jus a little while and you will be able to pick up a Nexus One come spring.

It depends how much you plan to take advantage of phones like those though, if all you need is somethin to sms and call people with the odd calendar and mp3 player, you can get something like the Tocco Lite, LG Cookie, many others.

But if you plan on using all those features and want to go Android, waiting for the Nexus One is not a bad plan.

The Nexus One is available now if you import, but I wanted to wait for the Desire as it has the optical trackpad rather than the trackball. TBH, I'll probably do so, and sell it on after a few weeks if I don't get on with it. I really like the idea of a hackable phone.

The X10 seems quite a lot more expensive which has put me off.

I'm on me iPhone ATM posting around the forum. I wasn't keane on touch screen at first but I got the iPhone on the spur n I love it. It's responsive n just looks cool to boot. A little plastic device that does everything, how 2010

If anyone's interested, I went for the HTC Desire in the end. Turned up today and so far I'm pretty chuffed with it.

Good stuff, i was contemplating this as my upgrade was due today and went for the blackberry storm 2 intead, I have the bold 9000 and the new bold seems too similar.

Although I think the browser sucks on the storm2, I decided to stick with the crackberry as its easy to port over all my data from the current one and the email fuction is 2nd to none.

i nearly went for the desire myself, i got the sony ericsson x10 instead, sooo coooool!!

love my Iphone, not an Apple lover by any means but the Iphone suits me as I mainly use it for music, texts and email , also the apps now save me a lot of time. I can see how its not for everyone though

I hope the next iphone has a decent battery as thats my only neg with it tbh
