    So, I know this is a broad question, but what smartphone do you have, and why do you like (or hate) it?

    Mal, I know you’ve tried many Apple products in your travels, so know what they’re like and their pros and cons, but what features are important to you?

    TBH, just about any smartphone would satisfy most of my requirements (basically good screen, good camera, intuitive menu, easy internet browsing, prefer on-screen keypad, gps etc) so more interested in what others use and like.

    I've always liked Sony Ericsson phones, and am interested in the X8 - but Sony Ericsson isn't that good with keeping up with Android versions. The HTC phones look nice, although I don't know about their support etc.

    I've used HTC since they were Dopod (or Dogpoo as we called them from the logo), They company also made the iMates for a time too.

    Almost everyone I know has loved them and had very little problems. Support is very good for them too.

    Re: iPhone, Android or Windows Mobile??

    I don't know about the others but I have no regrets that my family 'forced' me into getting an iPhone.

    The battery life is the only down side for me but there are so many +v's that outweigh this. Charging from a USB also helps get around this problem.
    cheers,
    Bill.

    I too have an iPhone. Never thought I needed one until I bought it. Now can't live without it.
    Apat from the phone, I love the App store.
    My main apps that I use are:-
    2Do - for all my jobs and appointments , reminders etc.
    Commbank Propoerty Guide - straight from Rpdata - for property values.
    Commbank - for online banking.
    My Eyes only - secure for storing personal details, banks,passports,credit cards etc
    Skype
    and a sensational app I found today called Dragon Dictation. Talk into it and it translates it to words that can be emailed, SmS .
    and a few games to waste time with. Angry Birds my favorite.


    My opinion comes with a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
