The Android OS is excellent with plenty of good free apps to download which makes it far better than any other phone. The actual LiMo phone looks great and should be ok, but it will not have the number of developers writing or porting apps across so use will be limited. If apps aren't important it, then go for it, otherwise check the HTC Hero as looks very similar to the LiMo spec. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Discover Linux - Open Source Solutions to Business and Schools http://discoverlinux.co.uk -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
