Considering a Vivaz too. Waiting to see what reviews the Experia smart phone gets when its released. They have got their weaknesses but Sony Ericssons are by far the best camera phones.

I just got the Iphone 16g 3GS and am loving it, except for one fatal floor imho, Apple in their wisdom have made the blue-tooth practically unusable so if you transfer files to phones other than an Iphone it's pretty much impossible (unless you jailbreak it)

I can't speak for the HTC HD2 but the HTC hero has plenty of apps and they are mostly free, apps are one of the advantages of the android o.s over the iPhone as anyone can develop and publish an app on android whereas it isn't so simple on the Apple platform

I'm so glad this has come up!

I currently have a g2, and due an upgrade. I did want an iphone but they want 40quid a month and I loose my half price line rental. However if I choose the hero or g2 touch then I keep half price line rental.

Who has the g2? What do they think? Any others to look at?

Sorry for hi jacking the post!
