Mobile phone upgrade - help me choose.

[ryanrich]

Which HTC? The new Sense is very cool...

[Tribble]

Was a long time ago. That I-Mate Kjam thing.

Now going to compare phones. Sooo many to choose from. Wish this was easier.

[Hman]

Lol, the I-Mate was still running WinMo, not Android.

[ryanrich]

lol, yup, I also had a KJam. What a piece of crud.

Check it out Tribs, very very nice phone, huge, but nice.

HTC Sensation

[Tribble]

Oh Ryan - that does look nice. And size is not really a problem. Having a look to see if it is on the upgrade list.

Nope - only the Flyer, Wild, Desire and Desire HD Typical

[Stuart]

And size is not really a problem.

So just use your Galaxy tab.

[ryanrich]

It just arrived as far as I know, so will be available shortly or next month.

Ok - I stand corrected. I like the Tab for Skype calls but not for normal ones. I am too disorganised and often don't have my headphones close at hand.

So yes mousey - size is important. Too big is a problem.

I have sent the woman an email - but I expect to get a "I will find out" followed by "soon - perhaps the end of the year". Decoded that means "we are trying to get rid of all the old stock before we will let you have the new cool phones"

I checked with my MTN contact again.
Definitely last week of July/ start of Aug.

Your contact is better than mine

[Stuart]

Guys on MyBB have started getting their S2s already. Some through MTN; at least one through Virgin Mobile.

[Tribble]

Mmmmm got a message last night telling me they are available. She is getting them I believe

[Sojourn]

wooot - getting mine this weekend.

[Sojourn]

It is done.

[Stuart]

Nice. Is your battery dead yet?

I saw this phone advertised on TV as available for the first time yesterday.

Enjoy it!

[Sojourn]

lol Stuart
Not dead yet no.
I have created a permanent "docking point" my side of the bed, so come bedtime, in she goes.

[Tribble]

Oooh looks lovely - I guess my contact will be getting a call from me tomorrow. What package did you get it on if I may ask?

[Sojourn]

Just selected it on my current business contract, I had a pending upgrade.
(MTN)

[Tribble]

I am interested in the cost. I am on the 500 anytime. I think I will just gho into the shop tomorrow

[Sojourn]

I wanted to get the phone cash, but MTN do not allow that in the first 2 months of a new smart phone release.
Only available on contracts.

Take whatever you are paying now and add about R120 - R160 pm. (Lower if you have a high value contract.)
It should be in that region. (Excl calls ofc)

[Tribble]

I Shall pop in and find out today. Thanks.

@ sojourn

I have a question about that phone. I've looked at it's specs and all- very impressive. But the size of the thing has me wondering. How would you say it handles? It seems rather big and clunky- and somewhat uncomfortable. How would you describe it, and what phone did you have previously? How would you compare it?
