Maybe its a little bit offtopic, but I just have to say it, because its kind of bugging me and I'm so tired of hearing so much of the Sense UI's hype.
MY QUESTION: Isn't Sense a lot laggier/ slower than the basic Vanilla UI? Is it an upgrade or downgrade? Just look at the videos on Youtube. I admit it, its pretty but so does Vanilla. So what's so amazing about it...
I have an iPhone 3G and I'm considering moving to Android with Samsung's Galaxy. You Apple fanboys don't get me wrong here, iPhone still rocks but its a little bit boring now, and Apple did a bad job with 3GS since (In my point of view) it does bring nothing else but a faster processor, video, compass and they are all nice things but to my its not worth the upgrade. Apple WTF, where's the 5mpx camera with flash and the front facing camera??
I know Galaxy doesn't have the front facing camera, but I'm getting more and more curious with Android, with its Google services integrated, multitasking etc.
Please If you're a G1/ Magic etc. (Vanilla UI devices) owner could you comment if you agree/ disagree with me on the laggy Sense UI.

Anyone else had problems sending/receiving via Bluetooth? 'Paired but not connected' is the message on every device I try to pair, and I can't seem to send or receive any files. Please dont tell me it's a secure device and that I wont be able to do this!

Droid, 06 Aug 2009Amazing phone,
Too bad there is not enough battery power, ... moreI'm getting 2+ days. If you switch the settings from 3G to 2G it saves battery power. This also gives much better phone reception
Also recommend downloading an app called TaskKiller. It will close all background tasks left open that are using up unnecessary battery power

i am between this phone and touch HD. At first i thought this was better but later on i found out that touch hd has 2 cameras and stereo something that this phone doesn't have and also touch hd is about the same money with the hero even though it's been much time that it's been released. Can anyone help me choose the best one between those two phones?

Anonymous, 05 Aug 2009"It might be a solid device, but it lacks in too many areas... moreRadio is not that important, there is internet radio
64k color on the HTC is great
storage should be more
Camera flash too
Regardless of it all, it is a great phone. One of the best beside the Pre and iphone.

Obviously I meant SCREEN resolution. Speaking of which, why only 65k colors? Another Android limitation perhaps...

What should i get .. The Hero or the Mytouch?
The Hero doesn't look like it will be on the T-Mobile Network, but i can get the unlocked version. Or .. should i just get the Mytouch? It would cheaper than the unlocked Hero and 3G will work in US.
Any Opinions ??
