The Android option is looking more likely, but that deserves a post of its own. Well pointed out Billy. :) By way of personal update, I’ve gone off the HTC Touch Pro 2.

They suck. I'm now on O2 which leaves me the iPhone option OR the new HTC, having previously looked at the HTC Magic running android I'm almost convinced this is the way to go. Can you imagine Apple's licensing people EVER allowing a spotify mobile app for example?? (also I'm on linux usually so apple products = native compatibility fail usually, iTunes anyone?) GF is still on the waiting list for a 16Gb iPhone 3GS but I think I'll probably go for the HTC Magic(the touch pro runs windows mobile iirc but Android is the shizzle afaic) myself if pushed. I actually did a comparison of the iphone on O2 pay as you go and it was cheaper for me than the HTC on vodafone contract. I never use my phone to actually call people so free minutes are irrlelevant, as are texts really. I do need unlimited data though as I rack up a lot that way. Until I decide on the iPhone/HTC I'm doing O2. I'm on £10 a month - £7.50 for an unlimited data pack. which leaves me with £2.50 to spend on calls(that's not gonna happen!) meaning every 3 months I'll be able to cover my data for the 4th. I'm also gonna snag my mates old N95 handset so should be sufficiently mobile for my needs for next to nothing! w00t!
