Android rebellion: How to tame your stupid smartphone

Is the editor having a day off?

How did this one slip through the net? I have a Nexus One at present, although will shortly be getting the Desire HD when it comes out. Yes, you get occasional problems, but I also had those issues with my iPhone 3G, that I ditched in favour of Android.

Granted, I did have to do a factory reset when I upgraded to FroYo as the stock browser stopped working - but everything works fine now, and as a previous comment said, all my stuff was backed up in the cloud, so I got it all back straight away.

I think Android's great - and I'm looking forward to HTCSense.com adding to the user experience.

Galaxy S firmware update invalidates Voda warranties

Hang on a minute...

Isn't the warranty provided with any new hardware actually a manufacturer's one year warranty (which I think has to be provided to the end consumer by law). Therefore, Vodafone's threat is an empty one - as it may be able to turn away "illegally" upgraded phones as Samsung's intermediary - but consumers should be able to return the units to the OEM to carry out any repairs under warranty.
