i've got an HTC Hero - love. it. to. death.<br><br>Motorola Droid comes out this week or so - meant to be pretty good - has a huge screen and the advantage of a slip out keyboard thingy.<br><br>Hero has compass and gps built in - negative points about HTC - they're a bit funny about their updates because of SenseUI - they're skipping android 1.6 and 2.0 (?) and going for a 2.1 (i think?) update which is a tiny winsy bit annoying.<br>
<br>Build quality is great.<br><br>Outlook email and calendar integration on HTC hero is fantastic - however I think it's an HTC thing not an android thing, although potentially newer android versions may have great support too - i don't know a huge amount about that.<br>
<br>If you ever want to have a little fiddle and play with a hero feel free to drop me a line off list and if you're around uni a bit you can give it a go.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Rory Holland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:modestforagenius@googlemail.com">modestforagenius@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Has anyone got an android phone? What one would you recommend?<br>
Or is it worth waiting for the next "big thing", (HTC Hero +1?)<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
