Yeah, "hers at her convenience", right? :madashell:

Exactly.....at least until she doesn't need anything anymore.

I've had the same problem in the past. They sure don't like to hear the word "no", do they?

Then they adjust their strategy, and slip right past your defenses.

My ex Cathy was exactly like that. :bangwall:

And she doesn't accept that I'm trying to move on either. :madashell:

Of course not. She probably likes knowing that you're around in case she needs you. Women like security, you know.

And so, my nerdism has increased to full throttle after receiving a new HTC Desire which seems that Android phones can finally take on an iPhone and, IMO and a lot of other reviewers opinions, can win.

Did I mention that I don't like Apple much? :P

Yeah, it makes it easy to say that it would win. Just wait til the 4g iPhone. Remember, they have been trying to beat it out for 3 years and have had nothing close to really decent. Now they have something comparable, and Apple will ne releasing a new software version (OS 4) thats actually nearly decent from the looks of the keynote, and also will be releasing a new iPhone, which from the sounds of rumors, will be pretty frikin awesome.

:D

I'm not denying that the iPhone is a brilliant piece of HARDWARE (apart from the infuriatingly challenging battery slot or lack there of). But the software is really limited in customization, the new multitasking system isnt really multitasking, its just a cache of a few Apple services that programs can access, and an expensive appstore. And on a personal level, the design is boring :P. The first generation was really pretty but its just been same old same old.

One thing I will give is that music syncing is flawless on an iPhone.

I suppose really its a price thing for me. I can buy two Desire's that do everything an iPhone does and more for similar money to 1 iPhone sim free. Contracts for a Desire where you get the phone free are £30 per month. Contracts for a iPhone 3GS where you get the phone free start at £50 per month. I could get a contract and 2/3 another on Desire for one iPhone. I would have an iPhone if it weren't so expensive to own one.

Mark - the amount you described isn't that much caffeine, but it's an awful lot of sugar. That much simple sugar may not trouble your blood sugar on the high end like it would me, but it's highly glycemic - absorbed fast and gotten rid of fast. Even though your blood sugar levels may not go above or below normal levels, the speed with which blood sugar drops can have a real effect on coordination, balance, and (here it is) mood.

Of course, so can PITA exes. ;)

Very true. I have yet to see the desire, so I know nothing of it really, I just haven't seen anything really decent, the most decent I have seen was the Nexus One, and I wasn't really impressed with it.

This is where HTC got cheeky. They made the Nexus one, for google all fine and dandy. And then they release their own version, with their own Sense interface which was the first real android system usable by normal people :P

Yeah, Google's version of Android, is well, OK... Not good, it's on the way there.

HTC however has always made everything amazing. Heck, Windows Mobile 5.0-6.5 was great on an HTC phone... :o

Indeed, we have a Touch Pro 2 lying about somewhere (Tilt 2 in America I think?) and, remarkably, it actually works.

Nope, it's the Touch Pro 2.

You wanna send that to me? :D

I love that phone, and would just love to play with it.
