OK, here’s what I think I’ll do: wait.
And then I’m going to see if the Motorola Droid is all they’re hyping it to be, and if HTC can come up with something non-ugly. And then I’m going to take Daniel’s advice and get Doubletwist for iTunes syncing, and then I’m going to NOT GET IT ON O2.
Simples.
And yes, Laura, I am both funny and nice. How very on-topic.

Am I really the only human on earth who thinks that the iPhone really isn’t all that super? Yes, the apps are nice. Yes, it looks pretty and the touchscreen is whizzy, but have you tried actually writing an email on that thing? It takes FOUR DAYS.

I’m really interested by this kind of post at the moment, as I’m seriously considering splashing out on an iphone as a means to blog on-the-go. Plus, it looks like my commute is likely to increase considerably in the near future, which is going to seriously eat into my already insufficient web-surfing hours…

Maybe I should visit a few stores and have a good play about…

I ticked a box to get a Hero to sell on to a mate when I was negotiating a new mobile contract. I decided to try it out first and, after 10mins, he wasn’t getting it back.

The facebook and flickr integration was a big win and it’s the first phone I have ever owned that synchronised my Lotus Notes contacts & diary first time out of the box with no 3rd party software. VERY impressed.

Having been an owner for several months now, it just keeps getting better. Killer apps like shopsavvy make Android the platform of the future for me and the multi-tasking allows me to keep Twitter etc. open whilst doing other stuff.

I now know 5 people who have moved from iPhone to Android.

I think the first question is whether you are deciding between Android-phone-or-keep-my-iPhone or Android-phone-or-get-an-iPhone-3GS. From what you’ve said, the only really compelling argument for Android phone over 3GS for you is Spotify in the background – which I find a deal-breaker for the iPhone. Everything else you’ve mentioned, pretty much, can be answered by an iPhone 3GS, and if you are wedded to iTunes and iCal it seems a bit perverse to look for fixes to get those integrated (although syncing iCal and Google Calendar is a doddle, and Doubletwist is a great layer between iTunes and Android), especially if you find the screen and the design of the iPhone better than any other phone. UnROMed Android phones still only let you store applications on internal memory, incidentally, so it can get a bit stuffy in there, although dumping data onto the memory cards has stopped this being an issue for me at all.

That said, I have an Android phone (HTC Magic – curse of the early adopter), and I would rather have that than an iPhone. Reasons include multitasking, Spotify, already having my primary email running through Google Mail and having my calendar on Google calendar (this really is key – if you’re inside the Google ecosystem, Android makes far more sense), network coverage and favouring the relative openness of Android over the closed system of the iPhone, where updates outside the ecosystem are actually punished by potential bricking. If that matters to you – and on a day to day basis it’s almost a philosophical question – you might favour Android. Otherwise, you clearly like iPhones, and the 3GS has about the same internals as a top-of-the-line Android phone at present.
