A few questions before I order...

[Guest richard_d]

Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

I've just had my HTC Diamond/MDA IV pinched and so am in urgent need of a replacement device (my contract expires in a month so rather than pay the home insurance excess, lose no claims bonus etc. I figure I might as well just get a new contract).

Previous devices - Hermes apart from the odd stability issue I loved it.

- Aforementioned Diamond - okay, but found it annoyingly sluggish, a bit small and the email client was flaky (Pop using Yahoo).

How useable is the Leo/HD2 without access to a stylus?

Any lag issues?

Ringer volume?

I'm torn between sticking with T-Mobile (decent coverage where I live but no 3G where I work, and cheap) or risking Vodafone - slightly dearer but maps show better 3G coverage. East Kent btw.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I had the diamond, touch Hd and touch pro 2 :D and have to say the HD is brill... i have just updated the firmware... and its even better than the iphone.. i have just set up 11 of them and love my HD2. there are a few menus that you could use a stylus with but i use my finger nail....

Any lag issues?

Nope, runs like a dream.... i have lots of programs running.... and no lag... i use 4 email boxes and all quick and no fuss...

Ringer volume?

I use the pocket option , but do not see any difference... it can be very loud.....

I always go for Sim free mobiles..... if i could change 1 thing... it would be to move the unlock slider down to the middle or bottom... but apart from that..... its brill.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks.

I stepped off the cliff and ordered one :D A 12 month contract with vodafone through mobiles.co.uk didn't work out much dearer than buying one sim free so I'll give their coverage ago - I liked T-mobile's customer service and 3G at home isn't bad, but lack of 3G in central Canterbury where I spend most of the day wasn't ideal.

It will be interesting to see whether I'll still be using windowmobile in 12 months time - if Android (and the available devices) matures a bit more...
