After getting increasingly frustrated with my Nokia, which seemed to be running on less and less memory, despite my moving everything I could to the SD card, I decided I wanted an Android phone. Unfortunately, I've been warned off the only one Vodafone do in Ireland, and I didn't reaally want to switch to Meteor for a Hero, so I decided to look on eBay.

I've really liked the HTC G1 because of its keyboard. New unlocked ones go for upwards of £300, which was outside my budget, but a I managed to snap up a second hand one for just over a hundred quid when you add postage, which is okay because it was mostly money I had in my PayPal account.

Once it arrived, it was down to the dodgy mobile phone shop to get it unlocked, after which it happily accepted my SIM.

So far I love it. Everything seems vvery tightly integrated compared to the Nokia. I hadn't realised how closely tied to Gmail it would be. As I was already syncing my contacts to Gmail, this suits me fine.

I will report back when I've had a little more time with it and let you all know how it goes.

I managed to snap the connector off my phone charger. I'm now trying to decide whether to buy a new charger or upgrade the phone (which is a bit knackered anyway).

I'd really like the Google Nexus 1, but I don't expect any network to offer it here for at least another 6 months. So... should I struggle on with my creaky old E61i, or go for an upgrade now?

If I upgrade, what to? I'm tempted by Android phones, but the only one Vodafone Ireland offer is the HTC Tattoo. I've read some good things about it, but it's very much the baby of the Android family, with smallish screen, no multi-touch, less processor and memory than its siblings the Hero and the Magic Dream (better known as the G1).

Any advice welcome.
