  4. Depending on what carrier your with, I think you can pay for tethering on your contract? Don't quote me on it though!

    HTC Desire does it as standard :wink:, works really well, had a meeting in a starbucks the other week (they charge for their wifi, some sort of £5 card) and used it for 2 hours no probs and pretty fast.

    Yeah but then you would own the runner up ;)

    A third of Android owners would like to swap to an iPhone where as only 7% of iPhone owners wanted to change to Android.

    Dont think it will. It would be against the developer terms. If it were submitted it would be rejected. :(

    iPhones are good. Android is the future :wink:
    I've got the new desire, has the app you are looking for built in. Great camera, captures video in HD and new apps coming out daily.

    I might have forgotten, did I mention it had a 8 megapixel camera?
    what's the top of the range iphone got? 5 i think :roll:

    What about price? :lol:

    As the quote states:

    Aah, thats the beauty of an open source platform. No restrictions.
    I'll give it 2 years and its game over for apple unless they make it truly open source.

  9. Without wanting to sound like an android fan boy, my Galaxy S is great (apart from not having a dedicated camera button or flash). And after the many problems my girlfriend has had with apple I can only recommend an android phone even more.

    Why don't you just jailbreak your phone?
