However, any smartphone is going to suck on batteries, so don't buy a smartphone.

What? A smart phone functions as GPS, camera (still and video), music player, radio, video player, PDA, games console, web browser, portable hard-drive... and telephone - quite aside from all those amazing apps you can download.

Why on earth would a bit of extra recharging be any kind of persuasive reason to not buy a smart phone?? Madness.

That's like saying you wouldn't try W7 because Millenium was no good.

Not quite. The number of people that have been burned by having an old Windows Mobile device is considerably higher than those that have been put off by using iOS or Android.

It might not be fair to say "I won't use Windows Mobile because it used to be carp", but that doesn't mean that people aren't going to say it.

I'm not interested in a Windows device any more than I am interested in an Apple device - I don't use either in my daily life, so why would I want to have a phone that uses it? There would have to be reviews that indicate that Windows mobile is significantly better than anything else out there to tempt me back.

WHS. Have a Desire HD - fantastic bit of kit.
90% of the promise to have one device for everything is here already, the remaining 105 only let down by a bit of clunkiness.

I've got a Blackberry Torch - smashing!

What really made up my mind was that Wilmslow hated his...

Anything I can to do to run my life opposite to him - has to be the way to go!

Seinfeld episode 'The Opposite'...

"My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."


Bing!
