Phones followup
So, I still haven't decided on the new phone despite being able to choose and acquire for something like a month now...
I currently have the list narrowed down to 3 that I like, so here's the list and the currently information/issues about each.
T-Mobile Pulse
Free upgrade, 4 star review
Android 1.5
For
Android
Responsive touchscreen
Wi-Fi and HSDPA
Integrated Google apps
A-GPS with compass
Price
Against
Rubbish camera
Battery life not great
Odd headphone adapter
Available on T-Mobile only
Video player app limited
HTC Hero/T-mobile G2
£54.90 upgrade, 4.5 star review
Android
For
Excellent Sense UI
Compact design
Responsive screen

Against
Poor camera
Lack of video codec support
HTC Desire
£70 upgrade, 5 star review
Android 2.1
For
Gorgeous screen
Slim chassis

Against
Bluetooth playback stutters
Battery life suspect out the box
Can't delete whole inboxes in POP3 messaging
So there you have it.
I think I am leaning more to the Desire or G2, but am undecided as yet and a persuasive arguement might sway me. Thoughts, impressions, for, against, tell me!
EDIT
Adjusted the number down again. The one thing really stopping me from just going for the Desire is the lack of GPS whih would be a benefit with my silly driving at times...
