Advantages: UI, Android Market, Design.

Disadvantages: Camera

Having had a good month with the phone, it is easy to see why this is being dubbed "an iPhone killer." First, the UI - HTC Sense. It is possibly the most glorious phone UI I've ever been able to use. Everything is very easy to find and easy to work through it, be it music, mail, sms or camera. The music player is fantastically implemented, its a shame less time was taken with the camera, but this is the only negative I have found with the phone. Sometimes it is unresponsive, and the photos are nowhere near the quality its 5MP branding suggests, especially in low light due to the flash. Everything else is nearly flawless. The android market is a fantastic way to personalize your phone with downloadable apps and widgets for your phone. The widgets mean that this phone is the most customisable gadget on the market, for what is a very affordable price, especially if you ring up Orange and ask for a better deal.

Summary: Quirky phone which could easily take apple's crown.
