Just been looking at the new blackberry bold 9900 that is available to preorder, been looking at the £30 a month deal plus £50 upfront with orange which you get 500mins, 3000 texts + 500 mb internet allowance, which seems a pretty decent deal, ATM I get the same with 3 for the old blackberry bold but with unlimited internet.

My question to you guys is, will I use this 500mb data allowance? Or would i have to get a bolt on? After having unlimited for so long I never check how much I use each month, the only thing I use it for is blackberry messenger, social networking and the occasional look at BBC sport, rlfans and using the sky sports football centre app?

I've only used the 500mb of data once and that was becuase I was sat in the back of a car heading to MM this year. I'm a frequent user of the internet on my phone and dont seem to be able to get above 400mb of useage. Infact, i have over half of the 500mb available and its bill day tomorrow.

Shouldn't be a problem EZ!

knackered the screen on my dell streak and the price o2 dell and various repair centres are prohibitive for the 10 months left on the contract. going to buy a cheap PAYG android to run my O2 sim. Xperia mini 10 or a htc wildfire are looking the cheapest option. anyone got any opinion on which is better

I dropped my iPhone in a pool of water on Saturday, I took it out and dried with a tool, numerous times I've dried it with a hair dryer and it's been left to dry for 4 days, and still no joy. Does anybody have any tips or is it knackered?

Was the pool made of tears?

If its not recovered in 4 days, it would suggest that its buggared....hope you have accidental damage insurance...

Best post from you EVER!!

It's upgrade time for me. I've got my PAC code so I'm ready for off.

Gonna pop into some of the shops on Saturday to see what I can. I've been looking and originally I was keen on a Bold. Decided I'm far too immature and like playing games way too much!

So, unless I can get a good price on the iPhone 4, I've been looking at the Samsung Galaxy S2, and today just noticed to HTC Sensation. They look pretty equal to me so I was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience.

I'm looking to pay £30/£35 a month. Not bothered about minutes as I'm a bit of a txter..

Cheers

I'll give you that one Saddened.
Thanks, and no I haven't I bought it off a mate cheap and it's done me great for 2 years, awesome phone. I've looked on the internet and there's some bizzarre suggestions, a few people suggesting to dry it throughly with a hair dryer for 30 mins, then bake it in the oven for several hours or place 6 inches underneath a lightbulb.

That's my phone and I can't fault it.

I am your saviour.... [url=http://www.thephonedoctor.co.uk/The Phone Doctor, Ponte[/url. My HTC Desire took a dunk in the toilet. DOH. Had it in rice for 3days and had no joy. Found TPD online and posted it in one day. £64 down, but still, got a phone that works still! I highly recommend them!

Just got the galaxy s2 as an upgrade and it is excellent.

Just a couple of minor niggles for me so far are that the camera lens on the back is the bit that sticks out furthest so will get scratched if you don't get a cover that recesses it and there is no notification light for missed calls messages so if you don't spot them when they arrive you have to unlock the phone to find out if you have any messages or not (i have read that you can download a program that will make one of the bottom buttons glow to indicate a message has arrived but not looked into it further yet).

Like i say, just a couple of niggles, but apart from that the phone is great.

I have the Sensation, it is awesome. Battery life is a bit of an issue but i'm working on that by allowing it to fully empty the battery and frankly the nature of this generation of dual core super-phones means you're never gonna get a great battery life out of any of them in comparison to older phones until they make super-batteries too. I've already convinced 2 of the IT guys at work to convert from their iphones just by letting them have a go for five minute, so it must have some appeal.

the 11th commandment states that; Thou shalt not leave the iPhone for a HTC

#truefact

Is that the word according to Apple?

If HTC could come up with a bit of software like iTunes to tie everything together and sync then they would beat iPhone hands down.

Apparently there's an Android app that works with itunes.

It is more the sych'ing of apps and data that iTunes does I was thinking of, the back up function alone is just miles beyond anything Android has.

I know there are various apps that can do most of what iTunes can, it is the whole lot in one package that is the killer thing.

A common complaint I see of HTC Phones is that they seem to have lots of shutter lag and not grand optics. So they could improve in that area as well.

iTunes syncing won't be much of a strategic advantage going forward for Apple – "the truth is in the cloud" and all that.

I have bad feelings about the iCloud, i like the sound of it but i think it could be a little slow to start with.

Has anyone downloaded the Gingerbread update for the Desire yet? Is it worth it?

i got a replacement phone after falling on mine (football at school and pockets dont mix) and after i logged in with my gmail (needed to have android stuff) it downloaded most of my apps again that i'd downloaded to the previous phone itself, just lost all my angry birds progress

I just sent a message on my phone but the sent icon is still on the screen so how do I get rid of it ?

Turn the phone off and back on again.

Still there.
