[Nottingham] Android Phones

[Cat Clarkson]

i've got an HTC Hero - love. it. to. death.

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.

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.

Build quality is great.

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.

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.
