I'm currently using Kik :)

Lil is it better than PingChat and WhatsApp?

Imo yeah, it's like free text messaging and it alerts you when you have one. I have been speaking to my american friends when I'm bored which is nice. :)
And the bf is able to use it when his credit runs out.

What happened to the Advent Vega tab that the Dixons group were meant to be releasing yesterday - pushed back again?

Should be out this weekend apparently.

This is worth reading also; as the Toshiba Folio isn't being well received at all.

Vodafone are still delaying their 2.1 updates. Beyond a joke now :| and their official online forums just gets automated/copy and pasted response about having to test it bla blah.

Jump carrier.. surely one of the others will offer a competitive deal if you sign with them?

Locked to a contract as Ive said before.

PointOfView have released a tablet. Cheaply priced, but comes with Froyo 2.2, so it looks promising.

Winamp Beta - uninstalled, was locking my Desire up making it totally unusable, had to pull battery up to ten times a day. Process of elimination and touch wood ok since I got rid of it. Back to stock music player

My Legend which was a Voda phone got 2.2 today.

Unfortunately it deleted all my O2 APN settings which is a ballache...

Gingerbread could replace your credit card.

What happens if teh phone is flat though? Or you have no internetz?

If Gingerbread is about to come out, how quickly should an unlocked Desire get it? Anyone know?

Still a few weeks away, from what I heard.

Anyone in the Manchester area notice that the 3G isn't working on their android phones?
I've had diddly out of mine for 2 days.

Update is only on Vodafone in UK, FR and DE, so you're one of them weird cases where you got it a bit by mistake. It'll spread to the other networks soon enough, but you might have to manually change your settings even if O2 send you an update notification as well.

I think it may have been rushed to VF as they continued to update to the broken 2.1 update even after HTC pulled it.

It runs a bit faster and the browser and shop tweaks are nice. Tethering will be useful at somepoint as well. No improvement in the ongoing VF Legend reception issues though.

It was only tehtering and more than one calandar I was after.

Yeah, settings were inputted manually in the first place as phone was originally on Voda.

All seems to work now.

Advent Vega added to PC World website now

Android 2.3 rumours: what you need to know

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/android-2-3-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-908255#ixzz15SFGBhCT

Answering my own question here, but 2.3 includes a new user interface, so I would imagine that will delay it a bit for HTC phones at least due to Sense UI.

"More use of the colour green." WTF?

Well, 'green' is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nanometres.

Seriously though it is Android house colour I believe, the colour of the robot. So they are saying it will be more Android branded.

Not sure that's a good thing, green's not my colour.

I'm handing in my Android, gonna buy an iPhone.

Haven't you guys heard? The Beatles are on iTunes!

Pfft, the Beatles are hugely overrated too ;)

recently got my first "smart phone", now all it needs is a smart user.

got a neat little gear inch calc. ap though.
