It is really so baffling and I know there seems to be two separate camps on this but this is our situation:

we have the most basic phones at the mo - just about got a camera on so all of the acronyms mean nothing to us

I have been looking at iphones and the htc ddesire only because they seem to be the ones that people like.

We would like a phone that:

would replace our currently rubbish sat nav
my dh loves his music so would need to be good at that sprt of thing
i like general surfing - love the idea of the barcode scanner thingy
the kids would like to play games and prob watch stuff on their - they love youtube
took ok photos and good videos

the htc deals seems much better than iphne but I dont know which way to jump

Can anyone advise in simple non tech lang please

I've currently got a iPhone 3Gs, and just ordered a HTC Desire HD to replace it as my free internet runs out next month, so can only comment on the iPhone at the moment.

Music wise its just like a iPod, not had any problems with it! Only downside is if you have a lot of music.

The internet is very easy to use, not had a problem with it, sometimes goes a little slow, but tend to just reboot it and it works fine.

Tons of games, some you pay for (need to put a password in first so you won't get your kids buying lots and lots!). Best part of the iPhone I believe with all the apps.

I don't really use the camera/video, but from what I've used/seen from friends they are Ok. Because the HTC Desire has a better camera.

I should be better my Desire HD on Monday, if you haven't made your mind up by then I'll write what I first thought of it!

I just found out that HTC has partnered with TomTom to develop it's own sat-nav software.. that completely swings me away from the iPhone.
