What phone...
Basically I've had a Sony Xperia X10 for 3 (very long) months and the blooming things keep breaking on me. Currently on handset 5. Orange have promised that if (read when) this one breaks I'm entitled to change models, can any one suggest anything. Obviously they won't let me have an Iphone but with that exception I have anything available to me. Thanks

HTC Desire...by a long shot...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Avoid LG as well. I've got the early Samsung Tocco F480 and it's never missed a beat!Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession

If you do decide to get one, order it online, not in branch. Branch stocks seem to be virtually non-existant due to the backlog of screens...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Nice that you left out the rest of his quote there:
"Conclusion: “Gah, I can’t pick a winner, you do it…” Yep, as useless a conclusion as that is, I’m going to have to say that, on balance, both the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy S are as good as each other. Not the greatest conclusion, since it doesn’t really help you make a buying decision, but it’s true. The Galaxy S has the bigger/better screen, and the Swype keyboard, but then, the Desire is better in every other way.
So, I can’t decide. Therefore, the winner of this fight between the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy S is either the HTC Desire or the Samsung Galaxy S.
Essentially, what I’m saying is: whichever one you go for, you won’t be disappointed."
Also, read the comments.
"Was due an upgrade last week. Vodafone operator (I’m in UK) asked me when I would like to receive my iphone 4. I said I don’t want that rubbish, send me a Galaxy S. (I had done a tonne of research beforehand). My other phones (for work) include BB Bold 9000, HTC HD2. I have used iPhones and the Google Nexus and G1 too, and yes, I have spent ages using the Desire as well. And the Desire is one of the best phones on the market.
But take it from someone who has used a Galaxy S for a week now. THE GALAXY S IS THE BEST SMARTPHONE ON THE MARKET.
- Let me run this by you.
- Bluetooth 3 allows fastest BT transfer rates known.
- I have 64GB of ram on my Galaxy S (SD card plus internal).
- Dedicated GPU, the display is more than twice as capable in animation as the Desire (check out clip on Youtube comparing it to nexus and desire).
– DLNA. Seriously folks, this phone is a NAS box in your pocket. I have a Class-N network at home. This not only connects to WPA2/AES secured networks, but over a good (n-class) connection will stream video from a NAS box OR FROM THE PHONE to any working media client. I have tested it successfully with WD NetHD, PS3, Xbox 360 and Zyxel PMA1100. This is fantastic.
- Battery life is getting steadily better. At first I wasn’t too impressed, but now a week later, it runs almost 40 hours of normal operation without needing to see a wall plug. As the battery level gets critical it shuts down access to non-essential applications (media player etc) so you can still make calls. I made a good ten minutes of calls to my wife (rare, I know!) with the battery critical. She loved it and I was impressed.
Seriously folks, this is a no brainer right here. If you’re a sheep and want to follow the Iphone 4 head, go ahead and do it. If you are interested in actually owning a device that can fulfil most technical tasks and don’t mind digging a little deeper to find out (and if you’re reading this site, you should be), then get the Galaxy S. The Desire is good. The Galaxy S is better"
You can pick up a Galaxy S for free from Dialaphone for £20 a month on an 18 month contract with O2. Admittedly, the allowance is crap, but you can always stick a different sim in, as dialaphone phones tend to be unlocked.In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
