Without any doubt THE best phone today must be the Samsung galaxy S 2, for performance and usability, if u need some particular features, you should search for apps that suits your needs.

Can you elaborate on this John? I’ve never heard of this and I find it very interesting.

Everything I’ve seen in relation to buying apps in the Android Market, at least in the UK, says you need a credit card. There were runours of PayPal support a couple of months ago.

You can use Google Checkout, but Checkout doesn’t recognise all UK debit cards; I think it only recognises Visa Debit, but not the more common Maestro.

Thanks for the tip on Hand Held Items and the extended battery. One of my many frustrations with the iPhone is the fact you can’t have a ‘spare’ battery (or easily remove the SIM card, for that matter, if you’re switching handsets).

That WAS an issue in the past Ben, but it’s not anymore. Almost every app I have is installed to the SD card. The functionality to move them to SD card has been gradually added to apps as they’ve had updates.

You can’t install directly to the SD card, but once an app in installed in the phone’s memory it can be moved to the SD card through the Application Manager.

My wife has a Desire too, and she finds she runs out of disc space because she’s crap at deleting her browser downloads, texts, MMS cache, etc – all the stuff you don’t think about.

I had to get her to pull over 100 meg of email attachments recently becqause she’d just left them in the phone’s memory instead of saving to SD and deleting them.

Under no circumstances the original HTC Desire. A lot of Android apps need to be installed in the phone’s main memory, rather than the memory card; after the OS etc, that leaves you with a hilarious 256Mb to install apps in. I was getting out of disk space errors in the third week. It’s also an old phone now, and has features in common with its generation, like poor photo and video quality.

I had a play with an S2 at TechCrunch Disrupt, and it’s a different world. I certainly plan on upgradin to it once it’s properly launched.
