Basically i'm looking for a longer lasting battery that still fits in the original case. I found the Seigio 1400 but it looks like thats only available in the states? and the other option I found was Fommy 1600 (well 1700 according to the reviews) and a review said that it was practically worthless battery difference wise. So there it is my cunnundrum and not wanting to add more width to the fatty G1 my options are limited.

TIA

I'm new to forum posting, so please excuse any bad ettiquete :)

I'm contemplating turning my back on iPhone in favour of Android, but I'm unsure of a few things and wonder if anyone can share their experiences/advice?

I'm on O2 in the UK, but not an iPhone tarrif. It's a standard tarrif with the Data Bolt-on.

I'm looking at Android phones on eBay and see a lot from China/Hong King etc (such as the Sciphone G2). Do they work in the UK?

What's the score with APN settings that seems to be mentioned in many of the smallprint of Android phones on eBay?

Is eBay the best way to go to get one yet keep my O2 Sim etc (damn contracts :( )?

Any help, advice about using an Android phone in UK on O2, where to source one etc etc all welcome

Cheers

So I will make sure that I am clear with what I need.

Is there an app that exists, or anyone is willing to write that will block private / withheld numbers on ringing? This solution does not work with "send to voicemail" option as they have no number.

My carrier (T-Mobile) cannot reject withheld or blocked numbers from source, so I need to do it from the phone end.

Some commercial applications on other phones do this, however bizarrely enough I cant find one for android.

Can anyone help? I would be willing to pay for such an application.

I'm a confused, "android owner to be".

It's regarding handset internal storage and apps.

Now, as I understand it the current G1 has 256MB, Magic has 256MB and the Hero will have 512MB...

And on that memory you'll have the Android o/s and installed apps.

Now I think I'm right in saying, the installed apps can't be removed and run on an SD card unless you "ROOT" the phone??

How about apps that you download from the Market? Can they be installed on the SD card? Without Rooting?

Regarding internal memory, HTC Hero vs Samsung Galaxy. If I understand it correctly, the Hero has 512MB and the Galaxy has 8GB. Correct?

So without playing around with the phone and "rooting" it, you're unable to save and run Apps on the SD card. Correct?

Assuming both the above are correct, on the Hero, with 512MB internal storage, some of which will be taken up by the Android O/S and Sense UI, how much space will there be for apps? I don't know how big the apps are (file size).

Surprised they didn't boost the memory...
