Android phones, apps and tablets

Smartphone 101 question here:

Is there any benefit to me and the missus both having android phones (prolly Desires) in terms of sharing apps, data and connectivity etc between them, rather than me having a free iphone from work and her having an android?

(Sorry - frankly no idea what you can / can't do with these things...)

Latitude, that unlike the iShithouse, is actually useful.

Paid apps are linked to your google account. I've not tried using a paid-for app on two phones using the same account. I assume it's only linked to the account. Depends if you wanted to share a google account I guess. Apps are cheap anyway so I'd just buy two.

Obviously using the same phone means you can share chargers and SD cards and knowledge.

Any of you sados going to the HTC thing tomorrow?

?

I second that?

Links don't work :(

Besides there will be a HD 3D 4G rocket phone out by the time my contract runs out and I can upgrade.

The HD looks amazing. But yeah, I'll be fine with my Desire until the next generation probably.

Yes they do. The server is being swamped though. Patience grasshopper.

I'm thinking "fuck it" it's a business expense and Mal can have the Desire and I finally ditch her i7500 (which is running Froyo/2.2 btw haha suckers).

I has no business expenses :(

I doubt it's real, but still...

And Nokia, I think, sucks ass nowadays.

Had to mention it so no-one would call me a fan boy.

hippy, is the Desire HD still running the standard Snapdragon chip? I'd be wanting something more powerful in graphics processing for my next upgrade. Give me good news. ;)

They didn't say. Someone mentioned an Andeon chip but i've no idea.

£480 from Modaco preorder. My colleague wants one. Looks like I might order a couple. Anyone else? :)

£480.........for the Desire HD. I don't believe that price. Too cheap.
No VAT added? And even then, way cheaper than I'd expect. Me = sceptical.

EDIT:
Let me add, you could be right on the price. Especially if they didn't have to engineer a totally new phone, and used the pre-existing chassis from their HTC 4G phone. Still, its a lot of kit for a reasonable price.

£480 pre-order WITH VAT. It's £408 or something without.
It also includes £50 worth of free stuff like car docks and Modaco membership.

"Could" be right on the price.

hippy is always right.
