    I must say, having never previously owned a smartphone, the interface is actually pretty good. Initial setup of WiFi, to home network, and getting around was a doddle. It has a good autosuggestion function although it doesn't recognise doddle and for some reason capitalises WiFi. Single finger typing also a pain. Only ordered it Mid week also so expect I am lucky to receive it so soon. Possibly helped by being a new business customer. Went for business account because accountant last week, when getting end of year done, said mobiles were no longer subject to bik????

      I'll have to check that as my accountant hasn't mentioned it to me. Though I'll probably be changing my account to a business one with my mobile provider.

        Please do, as I thought it sounded a bit iffy myself. I went over the end of year accounts last week with the accountant and he told me about it. Haven't actually put any bills through yet though, but was planning on doing so this year. Maybe I should ask over on accounting forum.

          Mine shipped from T-Mobile on Friday, but will arrive when I am away, so it will be Thursday before I get it.

          I think - had a text to say they had processed it, so should be here this week, I hope.

            That has been the case for a long time - there is a specific exemption for mobile phones (have a search on here!). As long as you are an employee, there is no BIK for a business phone - you can claim the line rental and all calls.

              Am also trying to decide between the desire and an iPhone, as my renewal is up at the end of the month.

              I'm currently leaning towards the desire, which has surprised me as I'm a Mac fanboy. Maybe it's because the 3GS has been out a while and it seems the next version is a few months away, whereas the desire is fresh meat!

              I'll check out a few more reviews in the next week for the desire and then take the plunge at the end of the week.

                Nexus One was being touted as the iPhone killer when it launched. Desire has been touted as the Nexus killer.

                Whether either of those is even remotely accurate, I don't know - I know I like the look of the Desire, and can't wait for it to arrive.
