@ Space – the HD2 is windows based not android!
I think for android some people have a quick go and dont like it but the big thing is android can be customised and tweaked, as stock its not that great, its also open source. I have a custom interface on my desire so its now as good as the iphone, if not a bit better for me anyway. You can change android in so many ways that you cannot with apple. I have had both an iphone and now the new desire. Tbh the andoid wins for a few reasons. It gets lots of apps and software whereas apple restrict what can go on theirs. Its cheaper by a long way on contract (£30 for the desire 600 mins, unlimited txts and internet + free phone) . Its also better at running multimedia on the web than the iphone. Stock android is not great and stock iphone vs stock desire the iphone would win, that I happily agree. However get the right interface on the droid and the right apps, it leaps up a lot. I also keep thinking android is still in its early days vs Iphone, it can only get better and better. With gingerbread on its way, it looks rosy.
The android cannot be compared to the iphone as there are tons of androind phones, I agree 95% of droid phones are worse than the Iphone, but there are a few such as the desire which compare very well.
All imho ofc
btw I do have 3 other apple products and I do think they are great (older ipod, ipod touch etc)I really do think on the right handset Android is very good if you customise it to your needs, and open source for 3rd part software is nice. I just dont like apples stanglehold over what goes on the iphone.
