Hi, am after some help for my DS.

I have bought him a PAYG on Giffgaff for a trip away next week.

I would like to know if he can sync his Itunes music with the phone, which is a Samsung Apollo.

TIA.

    Not officially, but you can try DoubleTwist. It imports all the non DRM stuff from iTunes and then syncs with the phone.

    No, but Angry Birds is free on Android anyway.

    Thanks.

    I found angry birds on getjar. I have downloaded it, but not sure how I physically get it on the phone. I have also installed Samsung Kies onto the PC which looks like a sync programme and I have mnaged to get his itunes music into it.

    Where does he buy his apps from? I googled and it says to go to the android marketplace??? Sorry for being so dim.

    Dont bother with GetJar, just load up the Market app and search for Angry Birds

    Thanks, I have the phone now.

    Although we wanted it on O2 to use the Giffgaff sim, CPW only had Orange, which was cheaper and the guy said it was unlocked anyway.

    So I have loaded up the new Giffgaff sim and all appears ok.

    As we now have a £10 Orange sim are we able to install apps via that sim but keep them on the phone or do they go to sim? I am thinking, he could use the £10 to buy apps/music and wifi it to his phone via the orange sim. Then take out the orange sim and use his gg sim. Or will that not work?

    I really do appreciate your help. Thank you.

    Apps are tied to the Google account, not the SIM. You can't use the credit to buy them though. Just sell it on I guess.
