A bit of a vague subject, but I'm looking at the possibility of finally getting a smartphone and at the moment the HTC Wildfire S and the Samsung Galaxy Ace are looking to be fairly decent entry level options. Has anyone any experience of these? I've seen some comments that the HTC can be a bit slow with the 600MHz processor, and the Galaxy is only 800MHz. Clearly it depends on how well they are designed to some extent, but both run Android (so I assume should be good with Linux). I think the Ace is the front runner at the moment for the better screen and marginally faster processor.
As for usage, which will define whether performance is an issue to some extent, I will no doubt use it for web and email, but calendaring and a SIP client are of particular interest (clearly I need the right network to not block SIP traffic!). I'm not a bit gamer on my phone, but then I only have a Samsung G600 at the moment, so who knows with a smartphone! -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------
