HTC Saga (AKA The Desire 2)

[jackass]

Not much has been released yet, except a couple of mockups, and a few unverified leaked photos, but it's bound to be announced at the Mobile World Congress in a couple of weeks!

Really looking forward to it, being a big fan of the original Desire! Fingers crossed for improved battery life from the Desire HD!

Woops, I am thinking of the Desire HD

Nice, also liking the fact they kept the main Desire kinda design going.

Still moving to WP7 or iOS when my contracts up for renewal though.

Why the change??

^ What he said. How come? What makes Windows Phone 7 more desirable (lol) than Android? Assuming your current phone is an Android one.

I will never change from Android! Well, as far as the future foresees!

He believes Android is going down hill. He can't be bothered with the hassle such as rooting for features like WiFi tethering and the roms and so on have problems and all that jazz.

But to be honest, I'm also thinking about moving away from Android. Well I'm looking for a new phone and not sure whether to stay or not or wait until the updates are out for WP7 and move over to there, as I quite like the interface. Anyhow, I'm sure tom will explain himself further soon!

In all honesty, Android is a fantastic OS with a lot of potential, but now I think it's delivering too little too late. Unfortunately fragmentation IS becoming a problem, to keep on the latest ROM you're pretty much forced to root because HTC take so long to deliver official updates and the Market is full of crap nowadays.

Yes, it's fun to play around with but now I just want a simple phone OS that does exactly what I want, quickly, whilst looking pretty, which I think iOS or WP7 offers more so than Android.

And the frequent software bugs are becoming an issue too, I thought the random OS reboots was a bug on the rooted ROM I was using, but I've seen it happen multiple times on different phones running stock firmware such as the Desire HD, Legend and SanFrancisco.

I have to admit, WP7 does look impressive. The problem with Android is that there are too many Apps that go on the Market that don't necessarily work well with the phone. Plus you have the problem with all these different types of phone which require more or less power to operate the OS. So both the phone manufacturers and Android are to blame - if the phone companies cannot make a clean cut edit to the OS or the phone to work well then they're doomed to failure, as well as the individual app developers. The good thing about Android is that Google work fast enough to make new updates to the OS which make it ahead of the competition, but they're limited to what the phones the OS is going on are capable of. Hopefully Android/Google (whatever) tackle this problem. WP7 seems like the happy medium between iOS and Android. Obviously I won't explain my views on iOS/Apple as it would be a wasted thread
