Hello, firstly thanks for producing a pretty good android app. I was wondering, if Andy can recommend an Android phone with Vanilla Android OS 2.2? My budget between £250 - 300. I think The Nexus S is not worth £550, and I believe Dual Core Android phones are on the way, 1st Qtr 2011. Thanks for a great podacast.

You had a question on the last show. Some one wanting to text groups of people on an iPhone.
I have an app that I use for that. It's simply called Textgroups. You can send SMS to pre set up groups of peeps or add multiple people to an SMS much faster than the native messaging app.
I hope that helps.
Dave
Have just bought the Galaxy S, after reading many reviews, yours just confirmed that i had to get phone.
Did you try and download samsung apps using Kies.
It doesnt seem like the phone is supported when you try and use, although the phone does come with 9 pre loaded Samsung apps.
Seems abit strange, any ideas.
Cheers
Ian

I am an iPhone 4 user and would love to be able to text groups of
people at the same time. I seem to remember this was possible under
windows mobile but can't find an option on the iPhone. Is this
possible?
Ps. Great podcast.

Thanks
Dave

Andy kicks up about the networks and seems almost positive about the Pre 2. James fades in an out as his 3G and wifi connection in a distant English town fail him time and time again.

Is the Archos the better Android tablet out? The Samsung is plasticy and the Viewsonic look too complicated? What about the Folio, you mentioned said you would not buy from Toshiba, Why? Your video of the Archos looks great, very funny. Bark! Why does it not have 2.2 when it's advertised with it.

Andy is back this week with a new sexy voice for unknown reasons. James unboxes he HTC HD7 and put the finishing touches to his Blackberry 9870 review. Gareth gets excited about a new Nokia concept and a bargain from Tesco. Andy rants about Vodafone and well… everything else he can thinks of. Matt goes on holiday with Rachel and hopefully Tracy.

Hey

I don't know what to get, the Blackberry Curve 8520 or Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801. Which one would you recommend me to get? 

Charles

Hi Matt, I am a big fan of your blog and i have a couple of questions regarding HTC and Android.
First of all, I am thining of getting an HTC Wildfire for my christmas and don't want to make the same mistake as last time (get a phone then the updated version comes out two weeks later) so i am wondering if you could tell me if there is another low budget android phone preferably an HTC coming out soon? And if something comes up even nearer christmas, could you let me know. Thanks.
I was also wondering, i recieved an e-mail from your blog the other day about asda selling the Android Tablet for only £97! At first i thought wow but then reading the e-mail i realised that it was too good to be true! do you think for a teenager like me, it is worth it, would i get easy access to you tube, facebook,twitter etc.. ?

Thanks Ross.

My daughter wants a BlackBerry. Problem is we get no service here and I rely on a Vodafone sure signal and the upload is 18kbps. Help!

Chris

I spoke to you last year regarding HTC Hero,
I still have it for another year, the upgrade on Andriod OS was a much needed update when I finally got it, but sadly it has dramatically slowly the phone down and can no longer cope well with many askings of it. They still havent solved the fact that when yu sync to a exchange server only the inbox syncs, but hopefully next year they would of cracked this of that new HTC 7 Mozart will become a more attractive buy.
Anyway, my other half is looking for a phone now and I was wondering if I could ask from some more advice form you? 
She is looking at the HTC Desire or the Sony X10. I have had a look, and I cant see much difference between them 
Any thoughts? Also do you think there is a better phone out there for her needs, mainly facebook and internet, no email requirement really.

James Lowther

Hey James... in engadgets review of Win Pho 7, they say that there is no universal search... i.e. you can't search for an app or a contact, etc. like in the iPhone or in Android, etc... Is that true? I thought that was a part of the system...?
