They do sync with your pc and therefore can get your music on them , but it is bloody difficult, I managed it once , but have never been able to do it again but HTC make cracking smart phones

Problem with Android will always be fragmentation, they are good but you're never guaranteed to get the latest update. Whereas a 3GS is still a powerful phone, the Nexus one is basically defunct. Windows 7 phones look ok, but Windows 8 is due later this year (and your music is on a mac!)
Apple need to freshen up iOS though, make it more customisable.
The great thing about Android phones is you can navigate around their memory without needing special software. And therefore you can drop itunes altogether or use a rival programme like media monkey. I'm no phone nerd but when I was looking into which one to get, the general buzz seemed to be that android is where the best innovation is now. Android supposedly outselling iPhones in north america now. Theres still a better range off apps on itunes but more stuff is coming to android all the time and you can use flash! I also like being able to put a micro sd card in the phone to expand the memory.
As I don't have a mac I can't comment on how compatable it is with one. Overall my general impression is that an iPhone is a bit easier to manage but you're limited to what Apple want to let you do with it. Android is more customisable and probably now the market leader but it needs more effort on your part. Plenty of web pages devoted to the subject of you want a more informed opinon.
If I used PCs however, things may be different and although operating system seems better, many people seem to choose the iPhone for prestige.
Exiled sums it up nicely.
but has put me off cex a bit !
I won't have anything Apple on principle
If you want to fiddle with your phone and never get it updated, runs a system which will chew battery, get a Samsung or HTC.
It has also sent a text message to people who I was not texting , so for example I am having a text conversation with the wife and it will send a copy of the message to others but not show up on the messages that you have sent them ( the bit where you can see all texts sent to that person)
Fortunately nothing I care if someone else reads but it could be quite a shit situation if your texts go wrong like that
So I will be seriously looking into what phone I get next ,
We might all be getting iPhones as our work phone which will save the issue so I might just get a shite phone for my personal phone and get a free ps3 or something
Due an upgrade in September and will have a real dilema.
It was only when a pal whose name begins with j answered a call for a pal who begins with B and the j named pal I had not spoken to in months did I realise it was a phone issue,
The text thing is the biggest concern but seeing as I am upgrading I ain't that fussed tbh , but I do worry that it will bite me on the arse so I am very careful what I put in text and rather phone call instead
It does look a bit on the big side to start with, but tbh I rarely talk on my "phone" - spend more time surfing & playing games, for which it's amazing!
Mini Tim Wiseman was my particular favourite.
only thing that stopped me buying the 800 was it was only 16gb memory with no chance to add more , thought the 900 would improve on that but it hasn't.
More than happy to stick with my iphone 4 which I've had for a year with no significant problems
Got some basic samsung loan phone. Its rotten.
Get the galaxy S2, it is superb
My blackberry has stopped charging, and I now have to use the usb port and plug into my work pc for it to charge slowly and it drains really quickly. It's far from ideal, and its scandelous that they probably won't fix it for free despite me paying insurance and only being 13 months into an 18 month contract.
my old blackberry bold broke about a month before my 18 months was up, (the scroll ball) and i called orange about it, they said after some diagnostic tests that it was a common problem with these blackberrys and it would cost me my £140 to fix. I said that was ridiculous that for something that is likely to break is still a chargable thing to get fixed. he looked up my history, saw how much i spent each month and how long I'd been with orange and sent me a brand new one via courier the following day to swap.
;o)
Go to Phones 4 U they will buy you out of your contract then you can get a phone of your choice.
