No, the other guy is still mostly right. The HTC web tool for unlocking the bootloader also voids the warranty.

I met my now-wife (last month!) online, on Sarah Beeny's site. Couldn't be happier. It takes a lot of effort (like searching for a job) but is worth it. :)

Oh my, so many egg corns. Black Squadron would have a field day with this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyAWSnwBJLA

Denon make great DJ gear.

Never mind that this reactor is pushing 40 years old...

Ice Cream

I just paid £450 for a HTC Desire HD. I also switched to a £15/mo 30 day contract with 350 mins, 350 texts and 1 geebee data.

Why would anyone willingly tie themselves to a 24 month contract? How would that ever encourage the networks to improve service?

I keep hearing this from friends. I recently bought a MBP refurb and I love it. As a grown up who's free time is becoming more and more of a special treat, I don't want to tinker and fix just to get things working. Since moving to Apple, I've had to do ZERO hacking to sort things out. I use the machine to DJ, produce music, browse, play games (on Steam). It's all been plug and play (usually hotplugged). Seriously, anyone! Link me to a 13-15 inch notebook PC with comparable specs (in and out) to the Macbook range. Including a beautiful multi-touch trackpad. I would have been more than happy to buy it but no one has managed to find any for me.

Where did you get this? I've looked for unlocked N1s and Expansys sells them for over £500...

Try this, matey: http://www.warfighters.co.uk/ I just went a few weeks ago and it is truly awesome. The place is run by a guy that's ex SAS. They teach you breaching tactics in one of the games. :)

So wait... you did your research but still bought a phone that doesn't have the market installed? I don't think you can blame Google for that. And if developers only want to make their apps available through the market, that's their prerogative. Next you'll blame Valve for devs only releasing stuff on Steam...

You could actually do some research and buy one that has been rooted. Cyanogenmod supports something like six different phones. Android *is* open compared to most other smartphone platforms. I have a G1 that's running CM5 (Android 2.1) built from the open source code Google put out. I don't see that ever happening on Apple phone hardware? Even before I rooted my phone, I could install non-market apps easily. It's not Android that's closed. Blame the hardware manufacturers and networks like AT&T (who disabled non-market app install on their Android phones).

I sea what you did there...

Android will support it from "Gingerbread". http://www.webmproject.org/about/faq/#webm_video_file_format
