I actually don't mind IOS. Its ok. Bit cumbersome after using WP7 but its stable.

Android phones are horribly hit and miss, and their marketplace is a shocker.

I really want to like my wifes really well specced HTC sensation S. But it just has so many OS issues.

It takes photos on its own, it gets seriously hot. It needs booting 3 times a day. It freezes all the time. The OS regularly uses 620mb of the 756mb ram available. It needs a Virus protection software to safely use the unvetted Android marketplace.

To be quite honest Android was a great idea, but I for the life of me after 2 months of having the phone for my wife wonder how the mess of an OS got through te door in its unvetted state.

When she first got the phone it was very fast, and very smooth. After 2months and barely downloading any apps the phone grinded to a halt. Thought it may be the phone, but on the 3rd phone and Phones4U tell us to be honest it happens to a lot of Android OS phones. So now she is stuck in a contract for another 12 months with a phone that's OS on the admission of the well known UK shop we bought it from is not friendly to any hardware.

Its a shame. On the face of it Android is good. But after 6 months with less hardware my WP7 beats her phone at everything. Its faster all round.

And I haven't booted my phone for 72 days. Yes 72 days.

Sensation is a very poor phone, to be honest almost every HTC phone i tried is crappy , not one that actually was a good experience.
