Come on Mr Research

I want plain hard facts and references to sources ;-)

Nah, you've obviously done your research and decided that it's the best.  [  ] Good work.

It's not a bad phone at all, just not the best.

So what is the best currently and why?

To be fair, it depends what you want from the phone.  The S2 is excellent for video, if that's what you want from your phone.  So perfect for your animal porn.  The Sensation is probably the best for 'phone' stuff.

They've both got excellent processors and are lightning quick.

Whats the best for bit of fbook/twitter and getting loadsa music on??

You won't go wrong with either.

Just testing out swype beta, really impressed. Takes a while too get used to but then it's awesome. If you do get it watch the youtube tutorial

For the third time now I have lost my calendar data while syncing to google.

I have the data backed up this time but it won't import and if I open the file it's just gobbledygook.

Does anyone know of a simple calender app that doesn't have a sync option?

Anybody know of a good running App that updates you distance and speed via headphones whilst running? and that allows music to be played throughout also.

training for a half marathon and could do with knowing this stuff without having to look down at a screen

I know a couple of people who use runkeeper and have been happy with it but there seem to be a few bugs reported on recent updates

Getting confused.  My phone is due for renewal and I'm going to go for an Android devise rather than the new iPhone but am really stuck between the and the new Sensation XE.   If the didn't feel so cheap to hold, I'd go for that but I quite like the look of the new XE and Sensations are at least made of more than a sheet of plastic. 

I was all sold on the XE until I stupidly read another review (Engadget) which really didn't rate it that much saying the Beats were too gimicky and the camera was rubbish.   I don't mind the Beats being a bit naff, I thought that anyway but I'd like a decent camera.   The HTC phones are at least a decent build quality and I quite like the red and black colour scheme.  I

On the other hand, I've never read a bad review of the but having held one I'm really not keen on the flimsy feel.

Sigh, what to do.  I expect I'll be happy with whichever I choose but want to be sure before I go for another two year deal.

I have the and I'd agree that on first handling it it feels a little flimsy - but I don't think about that now.

It is so much quicker than the original and I really can't fault it at the moment. The camera is a massive improvement on the previous model and at the base level of point n shoot it's easily as good as a mid-range compact camera. Video clarity is outstanding too.



It's a slightly odd shape though and I wouldn't recommend it if you have small hands.

Size is no problem, I have paws

Don't think you'd go wrong with either.

I've ordered the Sensation XE.  Should be with me on Weds.

One thing, is there a program like iTunes that Android apps use?   I quite like iTunes despite the haters and find it handy for organising what goes on and comes off my phone.
