What type of phone to buy?

I've got a Galaxy, I like it very much.

Wait till mid Jan for 4G announcements with Telstra on phones. The Samsung Galaxy II with 4G - Its navy blue, you can get it from south korea or hong kong on ebay atm.
Otherwise if you need one now on 3G...
Iphone4S, Samsung Galaxy II, Nexus one *kogan sells it but check the box on arrival, as I had a mate who waited a week and staff had stolen it*.. or the HTC sensation XL - White.. Just looked at it and its beautiful, I know Vodafone have it on a $65 dollar plan for 24 months paying it off.

I have a Iphone4S, siri is great, I can send 20 sms's in the car while driving 30 min to city lol. Watch out for 'Majel', Androids equivalent to Siri coming soon ;-D

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy note - 5.3inch screen, once you get used to the size there is no going back. 99% of my phone use is web browsing... and this just manages to be pocketable. Highly recommended

Iphone 4S hands down

My phones are supplied by work. Dropped water on my iphone 4 recently and was given a galaxy something or other (latest model). Honestly after using apple I hated the android OS and almost everything about the galaxy. The bastard thing even used to give an alert to let you know it was fully charged - the number of times I threw it across the room at 2 am as you can't switch the full charge alert off. Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Thankfully I traded it back when the iphone 4s was released and I couldn't be happier.

ohhhh my current phone alerts me when it's finsihed charging, and I hate that! The amount of times it's woken my partner and I up in the middle of the night! I just ignore it, but he always finds it and passes it to me, and goes "your gotss a meshage" in his sleepy voice. Then looks annoyed when I just drop it on the floor.

Thanks for the advice I think I'll have to play with a few people's phones.

You can buy a second hand HTC desire from Ebay for around $200 (mine's going on next week). If you were getting it on a plan the Samsung Galaxy S is $29/month with virgin, a very good deal!! I am upgrading my HTC desire with a Galaxy S2, the internal memory is very small on the Desire, unfortunately there are a lot of apps that don't have the function to store on the SD card so the internal memory jams up and doesn't allow emails in. Gets a bit annoying shuffling programs around and deleting data to try and receive emails. For me the winners in the phones are the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S2 (maybe Nexus now, but I haven't played with it). They are very different phones, for me the GS2 wins for the numerous sources you can obtain music and customise (I am an Android fan), if you want games/paid apps, then the iPhone would be for you.....
