I would genuinely be interested in how it saves you money and what else it does?

Go back and read again. You missed web hosting - saves me money - amongst many, many other more important things. Perhaps you should hold off from commenting on things you've read about on the Internet. That sort of misinformation is damaging and not at all helpfull.

Push email, push contacts, push calendars. - - All Free on android with instant sync with gmail/apps android also has Gtasks that auto syncs gmail tasks aswell all free
Find your misplaced iPhone and protect what’s on it. - Pretty sure there are plenty of free apps that do this on android market.
Share photos in an online Gallery - one touch upload to Picasa (other sites as well) on android free
Upload and share important files with iDisk.- plenty of FTP upload/download programs on android market free, plenty of web storage available free
I just can't see how it would save me or anyone money if I used it when everything it does is available free?

Is there anything you particularly want the phone to do?
I would highly recommend it

Its the same as me asking if you know what 10 times 10 is, and you responding "yes i do" but not actually telling me the answer.

lol @ damaging, come on I think its all getting a little too serious here now. Frickin cyber slander or what

Boab74, Android interests me too mate, heard a lot of positives about it, and thankfully its not being rammed down peoples throats, just ticking away in the background, while gaining popularity.
Cheers to 18 for the PM's about Android alternatives too

Scooby Soon, you may well be happy with a bunch of disparate applications bodged together to make an almost.me, you may well be happy with said free products being funded by advertising. That's your choice, in fact I don't think there's one 'free' google application that I don't make use of. But, some of us are prepared to pay for excellence.

I have to say though, I agree about the using the free apps. The Google apps do what I want them to do, sync, store and send. Im not bothered about pretty, im bothered about function. And it all seems to run pretty well for me, so thats me sorted and still in pocket.
Nothing wrong with paying for premium, if interface and presentation bothers you. But I dont see the point in stabbing at free because they dare to use adverts.

But I dont really think it was damaging to the Apple empire, not too bad anyway.
Its a neat app, but im not sure I would wanna pay that much for it. But not using an iPhone I would not appreciate the seemless integration etc

If you want a fast developing platform with all the features of an iphone that has more things to customise and stacks of free apps but does not use itunes then try android 2.0
![Thumb](images/smilies/thumb.gif)
Contrary to popular belief there are no adverts on android phones apart from in certain free apps that you install yourself.
for example there is a great app called "mabilo" on android it has thousands and thousands of MP3 ring tones and notifications that you can download but while you use the program there is small bar showing text adverts about 7mm by 30mm. What do the MP3's cost you? nothing! as the app/server and running of mabilo are all paid for from that little advert bar that you dont have to click and only contains text.
Thanks google for making free apps possible

BES however is different, It's what business' would use for a business email address i think, i do not know loads about this as i have never had to sel it, but i think it lets you create your own email as in @whateveryouwant.com, a service which i am under the impression apple do not offer. BES is priced at the moment, but there are talks in making it free.
iPhone push email pushes Mobile.me, Yahoo, Microsoft active sync, and Google, as these servers do push.

lol @ making the jump, crikey no!
What does BIS do differently to what?
BIS is Blackberry Internet Service, so basically handles all the data flow, comms between BBM, PUSH etc

Something about a dataflow issue as popularity increases, the demand increases, but the supply is limited.

Nice :-)
That addresses my number one gripe with full screen phones (Android or Windows) : There is no real keyboard. I use my HTC 740 for a LOT of emails during the day and I must have little buttons that go "click" when I press them.
Does that make me old-fashioned?

That comment was with regard to misinformation in general, but take it as you wish. I should also state that I do own shares, and very nicely they've done too. And as for me getting a life, I'm enjoying this it fits in quite nicely with my bed rest, who asked you to butt in?
