Has anyone got a HTC HD Mini? The missus is struggling with her new arrival and I can't seem to sort it either. PM me if you have one, thanks.

I've just got the HTC Wildfire and really like it. The screen quality isn't as good as the HTC Desire but it had everything I wanted on a cheap monthly contract.

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_wildfire-review-495.php Is a very good review of the phone, the main disadvantages they reckon are:

- Poor screen image quality, QVGA doesn’t do Android OS and the display size justice
- No video-call camera or videocalling whatsoever
- CIF@15fps video recording (352 x 288 pixels) is below par
- No voice dialing
- No DivX or XviD video support out of the box
- No TV-out port

I've got the Bold 9700. Just upgraded it to the new OS6. It's running well and is still a great phone. There are newer ones out though so maybe consider the Bold 9780 or torch.

Nexus One is a bit naff now and Google are about to stop supporting the phone with updates and patches. Nexus Two is supposed to be announced in the next few weeks and supposedly made by Samsung.
The Desire is a good phone but the Desire HD has just come out so maybe you should consider that ?

Desire HD has a poorer battery life, so no go.

The battery of my blackberry is completely fucked, runs down in a morning. I think it's about a year old, should I sent it in to Vodafone (will they look at it in a shop if I take it in?) or just say fuck it and buy a new battery? The water damage contacts on the phone are fine so they couldn't do me on that.

unofficially. easy to do though. download the latest OS6 version. install to your PC. remove the native vendor file then run the loader. done.
