what htc like for emails??
Fine. Fine for most things except actually talking to people on the phone due to the lousy quality hardware. My HD2 improved when I ditched Windows Mobile for Android but is still pretty poor in comparison to all the other phones I've had. Can't fault it as a device though.

I have tried a few phones for window cleaning, but they are rubbish as an applicator, rubbish as a squegie, and no good for cills, so I will stick to my tools and wfp thanks
ok on a serious note as long as it goes ring ring, and I can answer that will do for me
-
HTC desire on android. very pleased all round. usual battery life issues all start phones have now.
only trouble is trying to answer touch screen with gloves on don't work. nice does anything wet, like your tongue (now there's a mental image for ya!). chin works fine tho!

Cheap Nockia about 5 years old. Not one of those "my
dick phones bigger than yours" type of window cleaners. When I am working I don't want to be receiving emails etc

A proper phone with a hard keypad is what's best for work!! Had a touch screen & hated it, especially for work!! You'll waste more time with a touchscreen phone as there is no "feel" with it, you MUST stand/sit still & concentrate to do even the most basic operation with it! Never again.

blackberry i'd say. ive dropped it loads and not a scratch whereas my girlfriend has dropped her iphone loads and its falling apart. much easier to press buttons with cold/wet hand than tap on a screen, plus if your customers see you playing around with an iphone they may well think theyre paying you too much!

what blackberry u got g.brookes.

Pretty much yes. I sent it back on day 1 as the audio call quality was dreadful - very loud and very distorted and the speaker phone was unusable at anything above 20% volume. If you turned them down they were simply quieter and very distorted. I ended up having six of them in the first year, an argument with the supplier, T-Mobile not being prepared to help because I didn't buy it directly off them, and HTC who refused to admit there was a problem with the design but a fix would be available soon they just didn't know when. Eventually got fed up and replace the Windows 6.5 with Android 2.2 and I must say it's better but still not very good. I have an LG A133 that I bought on ebay for £16 = miles better. HTC Android is great to use, does emails well, net browsing good, syncs really well with my work programs and Outlook calendar / gmail sync is great too. Just a pity about the phone, which I seem to be alone in thinking is the whole point.

Iphone for me. I dropped an iphone 4 in water the other day. Put it on the radiator in a bowl of rice as they tell you to then charged it after 24 hours and it fired up first time. Its in the repair shop atm getting a new screen so I'm back to the Iphone 3GS. I think the ihpones are great. Calling, texting, emailing and internet are easy to use. Oh and a bloke I know tells me you can check your van tracker software from the iphone?
-
iphone 4 for me to,
great phone

Has anyone tried ICS on there HTC phone?
