New Smartphone

**itguy22** · 9th June 2011, 10:29 AM

Hi All,

Can you reccomend a good smartphone? My contract upgrade is due and I am unsure what to get. I ususally go for windows based but had mixed reviews about the HTC HD7.

What do people think?

Cool I think I might be looking at android. Has anybody got the HTC HD7. If so what are your views?

The HD7 is Windows mobile 7, not Android.
Probably the best two phones out at the moment are the Samsung Galaxy S2, or the HTC Sensation. Both Android, both brand new this month.

Yeah I know its a Win Mob. Thats what I usually go for and I was looking to see if anyone had actully got one and how they would rate it.

Thanks anyway

I concur - get an iPhone, and if you can't afford it I'll buy your kidney for £2k. That seems to be the done thing now by ultimate fan boys!

HTC Desire HD is a fantastic phone. I would go and have a play in carphone warehouse.

HD7 is good, so is the Omnia and with Mango coming I am going to switch from iPhone to WP7

I have an HD7 - not impressed. Clunky interface, random reboots and lockups (only fixed by pulling battery). Better since last update, but still happen. Notification alert sounds are glitchy. This is the one supplied by work (but picked by me - bad move, and will be replaced ASAP)

Also have a personal Samsung Galaxy S2. Best phone i've ever had, and I've had iPhones for 3 years prior to the SG2.

Weird, my brother in law and his GF both have HD7 without issue. I do like driod but I find a lot of the UI uninspiring the the apps a bit boring. The whole WP7 app's design is very nice imo.

Anything by HTC loaded with Android. Their sense interface and Google Android go very well together. Apart from the sometimes dodgy batches of phones they build (of which I got one originally), they're pretty unbeatable. The only thing with Android, try and get a phone with 2.3 on it. It has much better battery life than 2.2 and supports a proxy server.

supports a proxy server

I have 2.3.3 installed but cant find any proxy stuff. Where is it?
