Cell Phone?

:P I felt slightly humorous.

You poor sod.

The Orange UK site tells me that the HTC Hero is available on my current contract, with £166 for the handset. Seeing as I won't need to change contract, I'm even more tempted by it now! I'm working again this Summer, and I've not got much to buy, so £166 for the phone is no biggy. And maybe £30 for a Class 6 16gb microSD card (apparently it's slight lag problems can be minimised massively with a good microSD card, as the phone stores a swapfile on the memory card. Thus, the faster and bigger the card, the faster the phone).

After having a few prepaid phone temp after busting my other phone I'm settled right now with another Sidekick (ID). It's another temp phone, but i'll probably only have it for another month or so.

Ended up having to order the HTC Hero with a new contract. Luckily, my sister wanted a contract, and she really liked the Nokia 5800 I won from Pepsi, so she got the second one of those and I got the HTC Hero.

Absolutely amazing phone! The physical design is incredible, the UI is sleek, and I'm in love with Android.

I've decided that this is going to be my next phone:

It's the HTC Desire, it's fucking huge, and it's basically the Nexus One but with HTC's own UI. Can't wait! I get an upgrade from April (which, coincidentally, is when the Desire is launched), and Orange (my network) are carrying it. I don't care if I need to cancel my current contract and start a new one - I'm going to have that phone before I return the Uni at the end of April.

Important specs: 3.7" AMOLED, 1ghz Snapdragon CPU, 528mb RAM, Android 2.1

What will you use it for? It is superfluous for my needs.

Communication, organiser, maps, instrument tuner, note taking, photo taking, web browsing, and so on. Everything that my current phone does, really. My current phone (HTC Hero) has changed the way I do things - I'm so much more organised now, and have got used to having everything at my fingertips.

And my current phone will be my development phone - I want to start building apps for Android, and I don't particularly want to put things on a phone that I use constantly.

I'm a massive gadget nerd and a huge fan of Google, you see.
