Listener Questions

It’s nice to hear you talk about other tech like the Archos. I have the Archos 5 also and wish it had a phone built into it sorry it hear you have trouble with yours Gareth. Phones keep getting smaller and smaller, not counting the HD2. I want to have a media player that can playback videos on a decent size screen and be able to make calls without having a carry to devices. Know of anything that will do this?

I am not really a geek when it comes to smartphones but I have been visiting your site recently as I am due for an upgrade/new contract soon. My boss has put the idea of having one of the new HTC phones into my head (he owns a HD2)… I was 97% sure I wanted the HD mini but noticed that it won’t qualify for a windows 7 upgrade when the new OS is released. So does this mean I look forward to having a phone with a obsolete OS? Should I stick with the HD mini or should I go for something like the Legend?
