Default Just ordered my first smartphone!

Hi everyone,

I've always just had dumbphones but I've been increasingly feeling the need for e-mail and a bit of web browsing on the move. Looking around there seems to be a huge choice of smartphones and having never had one before I’m not really sure what I would use it for beyond regular e-mails and basic web browsing which they all seem to do. So I decided to find one that would be as flexible as possible and see where it takes me, as long as it wasn’t an iPhone, I’ve never been one to follow the herd!

I finally managed to narrow it down to one, the HTC Desire, which I pre-ordered today. Hopefully I’m in the right place to be told I’ve done the right thing!

I’m intending on using it on O2 in the UK although I’m on a 30 day contract so if they prove to be as bad as some people would have you believe then I may switch to Vodafone.

Any comments appreciated!

Welcome to AF! I'm a current dumbphone user and it sucks but I'll be liberated by next month.

The HTC Desire looks like an amazing phone, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I live in the States so I don't know much about overseas carriers but I hope all goes well.
