[QUOTE="elvesbane, post: 1050736, member: 20606"] Hi, I've been looking for an Android handset myself and while, unlike the O.P., price is very much a factor for me, I've gleamed this much from my [I]extensive[/I] research (ahem): [B]The interface matters.[/B] HTC's [I]Sense UI[/I] is wicked cool, easily making it an iPhone competitor - often beating it in terms of usability / fun-factor / cool-ness. [B]Snapdragon is king.[/B] One of the drawbacks of the HTC Hero (with [I]Sense UI[/I]) was its 528 Mhz Qualcomm processor. The snapdragon processor on the [B]HTC Desire[/B] and the upcoming [B]HTC Incredible[/B] should allow [I]Sense UI[/I] to function flawlessly. As for me, I cannot afford [I]Snapdragon[/I]-class mobile phones. So I'm buying an HTC Hero [I]second hand[/I]. Research (ahem) suggests that the 'lagginess' reported initially with the [I]Hero[/I] was mostly fixed via ROM updates. You can find lots of [I]Sense UI[/I] demo-s in YouTube. [B]P.S.[/B] Note, that I am someone who prefers clear segregation in tasks, and devices I use to accomplish these tasks. I have a DSLR for taking photos, an HD Handycam for capturing video footage, and a Widescreen monitor at home for watching movies. Even the highest end mobiles tend to be pretty [I]shitty[/I] at these tasks anyway, so photography / video capture / media playback capabilities were never considered. Have fun with your new mobile! :-) [/QUOTE]
