Android phones, apps and tablets

how do you find the screen? and texting?

I realise it's not going to run 3.0 and isn't close to a desire, but it will do a hell of a lot more than my Nokia 6330 a hell of a lot more quickly (and do 3G, fast web surfing etc.) as well as let me run android apps of course =)

I think I am probably making it to be more of an issue than it is - its probably not something to go back to, but as an upgrade from an older phone, it will be pretty good, I think

Do this :)
The one thing to remember is that you wont have a hardware kb to write on so I would try writing on either quite a bit

from what I've read the HTC virtual keyboard is pretty much the best going, but I'm definitely going to give it a go on the smaller screen of the wildfire

Or buy one from (though I hate to say it) Gumtree. If its unlocked, even better, but if not.....make sure it can be unblocked.

ftfy ;)
