iPhone & HTC Touch Diamond - Page 54

I read it had the capability but could be turned off by the carrier, which it inevitably will be (they want you to buy bloody dongles!). My Touch has sharing disabled but at least I could flash that!

to be honest fella I'd wait and see if someone brings out an app that allows you to tether it

Tethering might be a go for here in the UK.

One of the new HTC phones is rumoured to be running Android I believe.

I'm in much the same boat as Daz. I think I could take WM or leave it, but although it's rare that it happens I have tethered my TyTN to the laptop a few times and would like to keep that option open. I'm already well out of contract but the timing just hasn't been right so far and I can't make my mind up anyway.

I've already run Android on my Diamond

The guys at XDA are awesome. It wasn't fully working last time I tried it, but they getting more and more out of it.

I'm tired of WM to be honest. I thought I'd be installing new stuff all the time but apart from TomTom and a game I haven't put anything on the Dual and don't intend to.

Early rumours regarding the new iphone software said that everything was there for tethering and even if it isn't I can buy a dongle and swap the sim over so I think its a foregone conclusion for me, it'll be an iphone next. The chances are it will get more use than the Dual has and the ease of application installation and level of polish on the apps available will mean I use a much bigger variety of programs, even if I do end up paying for them, will also recoup some money by selling my iPod Classic

I've never liked WM and only had WM phones because they were the best option at the time.

Tethering doesn't bother me as I've got a work supplied 3G dongle with 'unlimited' data so I can see that. At the moment I've also got a Three 3G dongle which costs me £10/month for 1Gb but I very rarely use it so I'm going to cancel that when the contract expires.

Currently I'm using a Blackberry Bold which is a fantastic handset but just a bit too big for my liking. For sending emails it is the best phone I've used bar none and I can't really see it being beaten because the keyboard is so usable. That said, I rarely send an email using it now and just use it for reading so an iPhone would do the job just as well there.

The iPhone appeals to me more and more each time I use one. My Vodafone contract is up at the end of July and I've made a note in my calendar to request my PAC on 25th June.

Here you go Daz, tethering may be possible

I think the new Iphone will be for me - just hoping that there will be some nice improvements.

I'm waiting for the new iPhone that everyone is expecting to see if its worth it. Hanging off getting an HTC Magic so I can compare the two phones.
