I've just managed to destroy my iPod Touch. The ear jack went a bit wrong, I had no warranty, tried to sort it myself and the screen/LED cracked. In two weeks Orange I can upgrade my phone (currently a HTC Hero) and I'm wondering whether to go with an iPhone to save the bother of having to get an iPod... but they're still quite pricey! HTC haven't got a lot out at the moment that amazes me (likely my choice would a Desire HD) so what do you think. Should I make the jump to Apple or not?

worth it.

my friend had a blackberry for quite a while. he's just gone on to a new contract and he says the i phone that came with it is x2 better than his old phone, even after just a few days. i've had my 3gs for a year and a half, and so far so good with it. i've had apsolutley no trouble at all. it's more like a small computer, with the function of calling and texting people. i reccomend hooking it up to your wi-fi though.

Get the desire HD, I've got it and I think it's a really good phone, battery life on it is is shut though, needs charging everyday if it's in constant use!

Sadly I think all modern phones with such capabilities go like that.

This is true. I have the Desire HD's little sister, the Wildfire and it's pretty good. Also battery life will depend on whether you use Wifi, GPS etc with any device.

i think at the moment the iphone is the mobile to have, but if your on a two year contract & have to pay something towards it as well it's pretty expensive, also you will have to wait for the iphone 5 to come out, i think most want a iphone & who can blame them as everything with it works great, but Android is getting better & better the apps are to, the only reason i think the Droid apps are not as good is because of the difficulty in paying for them.

i have a ZTE Blade (£70 p&g) on Droid & it can do basically what every other Droid phone can do thus what a iphone can do to, i have the best of both really a Droid mobile & a ipod touch, all i use my phone for is internet & texting, as for a iphone i know the ipod touch is pretty good on the battery so the iphone will be to i guess but how long does it last when listening to music all the time ?

it's a bit tough to choose at the moment, but i wouldn't get a iphone on principle due to the price, there is really no need for it to be as expensive as it is.

That's what happing with blackberrys. Everyone's getting them now on a 2-year contract, but soon no one's going to want them anymore. I think the HTC phones are good, my friends got a desire I think, and it's really good. :D

I like my iphone, but then again I also like my sisters HTC Desire. They are both good, the only thing the iphone has over HTC mostly is itunes and some of the apps that are only on iphone. But I have no doubt it will be catching up.

most smart phones will only last a day on a full charge, not really a issue though tbh.

I managed to get it to last for almost a week, because I didn't have any charging possibilities. I turned off the internet network though...

Is there any way to turn off the internet on the HTC Desire? My brother got that one and he's now waaaaays over his monthly data limit.

best to use a app killer like https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.infolife.taskmanager&feature=more_from_developer

a data monitor like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jupiterapps.phoneusage&feature=search_result

Both of those won't help with the internet problem. And also, you shouldn't use task killers on Android.

To turn off the internet, just hold down power 'til the menu comes up, bottom option, Mobile Internet.

To turn it off mostly for good rather than just occasionally like that is good for, home screen > press MENU > Settings > Wireless & networks > remove the check on Mobile network.

Well, if you're abroad it's a must otherwise the costs will be huge.

Then - it could just be to avoid more charges. Maybe for sake of battery power. But most of the time you might as well have it on as it makes phones so much more useful.

all it does it stop programs running in the background when you have finished using them, as soon as you press on the internet icon it starts up again, it also saves on RAM, i have a white list on mine so that certain programs don't get shut down by the app killer

You're getting 2 things confused. One, app killers, as you're talking about there (which as noted in the article I linked aren't really a good idea) - and second, mobile internet - internet capabilities, 3G, and turning that off. That's different to not opening the internet app.

Got an S3, but I may go back to the iphone next time. It's having trouble charging, and I can't figure out why. It can even be plugged in and if I'm using it, it'll discharge. It's had a factory reset and everything. Besides, I've just had a macbook pro. So I may as well go back to apple now.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
