got an android phone this week.

Yeah mate, they look amazing. Even the Galaxy S is still an amazing phone just a shame that Samsung Kies still sucks and it doesnt work on a MAC properly yet. I'm definatly going to be looking at a Galaxy S II, I-Phone 5, and LG Optimus 3D when they arrive. My contract is up in August sometime so I will be able to upgrade then.

It´s funny. I bought the Iphone because it had shitloads of cool apps and stuff, and to date it probably still outranks with the apps. But when I read the news, it says that Android will probably have most developers on their side in about a year or more.
When that happens there is no use for the Iphone anymore. Only thing about it is the functionality.
It makes sense really..
Apple just releases one phone a year with the iOS software on it.
HTC, Samsung etc. release a couple of phones a year with the Android system, so I think because of the hardware upgrades people will fall for these types of phones sooner.
What´s the deal with Windows Phone software? Is it any good?

windows phone 7 is supposed to be awesome UI wise, but it's a bit of a wait and see because of the more limited support. may never pick up enough to challenge IOS or the quickly growing Android. At the end of the day its still Microsoft and Android is based on Linux. But best believe MS will try and exploit windows phone and Windows 7 cross-connectivity, could be some nice stuff.
I'm heavily down with Android but they have a lot of work to take it to the next level of popularity. Anyone on 2.2 or above should check out Chrome2Phone connectivity (Fox2Phone for Firefox) where you can instantly send content from a desktop straight your mobile. really dope!

Well I work with mobile phones and can honestly say in the 6 months my store has been trading I dont think we have sold one single windows phone. Sure the U.I looks cool but it is very slow in terms of touchscreen and android currently the operating platform to beat. I think windows will come up with some new ideas but personally I think the damage is done with Windows phones. Thats why I cannot understand why Nokia didnt choose Android over Windows for their new operating system. Windows phones are dying a death and unless someone somewhere comes up with something that clearly makes it a better operating system to use than Android I think Nokia will continue to lose their grip on the global mobile phone market place.

MS probably throwing a lot of money at people to produce some Windows phones in the hope that some of it will stick. your right tho, they already lost with the old windows mobile incarnations, so primitive and shitty. MS never seem to care until they get competition in anything, which is becoming a bad business model these days. they only actually made windows 7 any good because of the increasing popularity of macs becoming a threat.
