    When I went into o2 they were happy to get out the xperia and touch pro for me to play with, might have just been me though, I agree having a number out to 'try' is a great idea for free advertising

    Re: Touch HD - no Longer?

    i really can't be arsed to keep re-explaining my points. your just constantly twisting them tbf...
    i mentioned the build quality in general of apple vs a windows alternative ala a "laptop/notebook" i.e. anything that isn't apple...
    the link for the imac comparison video was purely to prove the common misconception that apple costs more...
    as for that quad core laptop that still isn't even out yet it's waiting for an eta... so that is useless in comparison... and considering my macbook was late 2008 again it isn't a relevant alternative...

    the touchpad was because any other make laptop has a pathetic size trackpad/touchpad whereas the macbooks is very large and works perfectly alongside not having buttons whilst being one itself bar the last 20% right at the top where it won't press in...

    i did look at alienware etc and xps and none were ddr3 at the time nor as slim and well built...
    also why would i get a "desktop" when i was talking about laptops:S good luck using that away from your desk...

    plus the fact that was merely about built and features not the os...

    the review for the sony was from stuff magazine a month or 2/3 ago it might have been last months i can't remember. and they basically said it could have been awesome but it would lock up and stack completely and various other stability issues...
    i know all about the 9 panels of apps etc you can have on the sony it is nice but it still isn't a smooth experience running wm... the HD i'll hand it to it is smoother when doing its thing through the front end but the sony was slower and things like that would annoy me as an os should be a smooth experience surely? i know you can say your dreaming but iphones isn't slow... especially on the S... and when multitasking etc etc... it may not be a business whore but i couldn't care less about that side of it.

    as for the iphone comparison to the HD's touchflo that isn't comparable... iphone u just press home and then touch the app you want... you only swip to goto another page of apps... not just one at a time...

    i have used a HD as i've said before and yeah at the time it was dodgy but might have been due to the first build of touchflo considering what someone said earlier about one build being buggy... so fair enough if they fixed it but i still did have that bad experience when it came out...

    how is it thinner? it looks way chunkier in pictures... like i have just said though it was a while ago i used one...

    as for battery and holiday madness i still don't see why you wouldn't bring a charger yeah going out partying etc but aside from taking some pics/vids why would you be arsing about all night/day on your phone surely you'd be partying like you've said.

    fair enough if your rushing place to place battery=fail... but i have always stated the day of useage is fine for what I WANT... as in being able to use it each day for what i want without it dying before i'm home... that suits my needs fine....

    regarding stylus's i think i either didn't word that how i meant to or you misread it? i was agreeing about it being good to not need a stylus as you mentioned also having big thumbs/hands i think?

    games wise... yeah i could easily bring either or both consoles with me... you can't seriously be saying that wm/iphone has better games than the 2 rivals of portable gaming... that's insane. metal gear solid / gran turismo coming soon all the psx classics being ported/hacked by yourself easily and all the actual other games available and yet to come how can you make such a statement...

    i really don't see how i'm getting "ripped off" when the iphone isn't costing me anything because i will buy it with the money from my n97/whatever else is expensive at the time that i can choose on my upgrade...

    as for tethering i never said the iphone was revolutionary yeah it's sweet being able to bluetooth/usb your connection to your lappy (i do it with my macbook with my nokia when i cba to use a usb stick or have forgotten it etc) but it isn't reallllly a factor for having a killer mobile device because surely the whole point of these is your getting as close as possible alternative portibility-wise to a laptop... i also did mention before that i'd happily admit an iphone isn't revolutionary and lacked features etc along with the fact i've continously mentioned that i wasn't a fan of them till the S... because it seems to finally have what it should have already...

    as for constantly changing topics to avoid being caught out or whatever you said no i just am trying to be perswaded to wm and their devices... i know windows don't make them but it's no different from calling a laptop a windows machine is it... cause it is a machine that runs windows... same as a macbook although made by mac still runs macs os...

    i don't want a flame war i just want something that isn't a brick and isn't a slug and lasts long enough for what i want to do...

    oh and the 30 fps thing i saw on a site when i looked up the HD again that it was 15fps? maybe it was a typo if not cool.

    and lastly yeah i would love an android phone but their all ugly and look tacky... the hero looks nice bar that stupid slant at the bottom. yeah it's probably nicer to hold but it looks silly... i am very tempted to get it though...

    when will it come out and is it possible to use wm on it should i not want android...

    I have picked this one quote, because it sums this up.

    It is thinner, now since the dawn of modern man we have learn how to quantify, or 'measure' if you will.

    Now ever since a bunch of garlic eaters decided to overthrough their leaders, we have had le Metric System.

    This is great because not only does it allow us to write down these strange symbols, it also lets us compare things with these 'numbers'.

    So the number that is lower, it turns out is thinner. Amazing.

    doesn't look a lot in it but still iphone looks thinner by a teeny bit... i know its curved and decieving so if thats what you mean then yeah your right the hd is thinner.but i prefer the curve of the backpiece on the iphone...
    on the plus side though the hd would be nice to tap away on when on a table etc whereas an iphone would wobble all over the shop:@

    i am pretty tempted to get an HD... have been googling away for past couple hours... only thing i'm put off by now is the video playback of divx etc? its got crap reviews and watching a video review it stuttered like mad... has this been fixed? saw some people using 6.5 have been using core player? does it playback smoothly now... i don't "mind" converting as long as i get a decent quality picture and smooth playback and in sync audio... but on the off chance could i just whack a random divx on there and hope for the best?

    i am semi tempted by the touch pro but it hasn't got a long enough screen i want it side to side with that shape and not the big curvy one like on the touch pro 2... i ideally would like the diamond shape and look with the touch pro 1's slide out keyboard as for once it's a proper space utilizing keyboard unlike my upcoming n97 upgrades waste of space one...
    the touch pro 2 is far too curvy and chunky for my liking...the s740 is sexy as hell i'd love that but with a side to side screen and that small shape and nice keyboard... so i'm not sure what to do really...
    looks like you lot have persuaded me back to the evil that is windows lol... but only with a nice gui hiding it haha
