I really want an app which is like the yell.com one - so if anyone knows the best app for searching the phone directory, lemmie know.
Really really want one of these when my contract expires next month. Just really want to try out Android.
I'm still umming and ahhing if I want this or not
Had a quick look on eBay I wasn't impressed with the cases available for it.

No casing about yet as it's only just been released.. T-Mobile had the earliest batch, majority of retailers getting it April 1st.. Other networks getting it April (Date unknown)

We are talking about the HTC Desire mate
HTC Supersonic is a sprint exclusive for summer in the U.S atm - it's unlikely it will even hit europe at all..
Kind of pointless discussing it, as we will never be able to buy it.. Couldn't even order it in on import, as it's a CDMA device. Wouldn't work here.
There is a thread open to discuss HTC Supersonic elsewhere on here
I'm moving from iPhone to Android, but the first few apps i think ill go for are:
- Movies (I use it on iPhone and there is a Android version, i would be lost without this, useful for checking cinema times etc)
- CoPilot (Again, use TomTom on iPhone, but definately want a Sat-Nav on my phone!)
- Locale (Definately something i want to check out!)
Recommend Apps for:
Football
F1
Radio - Internet stations such as those either online or via DAB radios,aka Talksport
Browsing - Opera?
Document viewers such as pdf, word. - Answered odf is native - thats very good (I come from using an iPhone, therefire expect the need to have an app for everything rather than it being done natively!)
Also any good mods that you can do, only really found a use for my iphone after jailbreaking with emulators and themes etc.

99% of Android apps are free. :thumbsup:

Also a Spotify app but you need a Premium Spotify Account for that which is £10 a month. If you’ve go an account anyway then it’s a free add-on.

Having had a look at the cases on the market - it seems as though the hole in the silicone case for the flash is on the wrong side...anyone else noticed this?
What cases/screen protectors has everyone gone for?
or are you all waiting......?

thanks for the app link
Browsing - Opera?
Opera is amazing, especially if you aren't connected to wi-fi. Its even fast on 2G!!

Cheers for the link
Spritey - is it worth putting a couple of Andriod app links into the Header post?
such as:
http://www.android.com/market/
http://uk.androlib.com/
I'm sure there are plenty out there but I don't know which ones are good.

Indeedy :). Added to the first post as you can do linkable URLs there.
Probably wait for a cheap one to come along before buying. If the wait gets too long then I'll sell my Hero and get one at full price.
