I have to say though that the Samsung S8000 looks really sleek, very nice indeed in fact. Handsets seem to be coming out at a snail's pace - I was going to wait until the end of the year, but releases seem to keep getting pushed back so I may just take the plunge ... unless it turns out that Vodafone are rubbish out in the sticks of course. Thanks for the pointers :) @frog I haven’t been tempted by any phone for the last few years – but as a Linux user the Google o/s seems appealing, certainly more so than the iPhone which just makes me see cash registers (though quite likely isn’t justified).

When/If HTC release something similar to their win powered Touch Pro 2, I'd be interested. Until then I'm waiting to see the Samsung's S8000, Nvidia's Tegra handsets & SE's offerings.

Guess there is a stigma attached to the iphone, unlike the Android. I do believe battery life of an Android is very poor, you may need to keep it on constant charge. Never been tempted by the iphone?
