angry birds, angry birds seasons, and angry birds rio are always good to start with.

you can sign into https://market.android.com/ using the gmail account you use on your phone and install apps magically over the air, browsing the market on your computer is easier than on the phone, esp if you are looking for good apps.

Tap Tap Revenge 4 is also very good

I am sure the aps for OSF are not different from any Free and useful Android apps

1) How reliable is it? Does it freeze or crash at all?

2) If you put Android 2.2 or 2.3 on it does it work better? I've heard that putting 2.3 on the latest ones isnt very easy?

All Android phones !!!!!! about abit, its the nature of the beast. Putting 2.3 on is easy enough but its very buggy. I can't say I saw any difference between 2.1 and 2.2 speed wise.

The phone in general is abit laggy, nothing major.

as far as i know 2.3 isn't robust enough for use on SF atm. I have 2.2 on mine and it was dead simple to put on.
it does crash occasionally, usually while playing angry birds.

If you want reliability on the San Francisco you are better off keeping to a 2.1 rom. I've had the Seb rom on a SF since before Christmas and it has never frozen or crashed in all that time.

Battery life is good, and the only real 2.2 advantage for the SF is wifi tethering which can be done on a rooted 2.1 rom anyway.

Just got mine, managed to unlock it. Put my 02 sim in and trying to import my contacts for sim to phone. I've done as it says but its not picking them up. I go into contacts, import contacts but when I touch the screen nothing happens.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Do it again then hit the SAVE button at the bottom

Thanks, nothing happens. There's nothing to press. It says no contacts. Its as if the card is empty when all my numbers are on it.

Hit the phone icon/menu/people/menu again/import/export/ then import from sim card then save at the bottom.
