I have had two HTC phones before in disguise of Orange SPV 5 & 6. This is a good smart phone & I like the size as I didn't want an oversize & over function phone. In comparison to SPV phones, I prefer Windows mobile phone. The Android phone are quiet difficult for novices. I have to download the manual & very difficult to add software to the phone. Once you get used to the phone, it is very good but I've double take on Android phones, am sticking to Windows mobile next because they are straight forward & easy.

Got this 2 weeks ago on contract & it my first Smartphone & my first HTC phone, I was desperate to have a Smartphone as I am always on the Net & emailing friends, my friend had a HTC Magic & advised me that the Tattoo would suit me better, I love it. I won't pretend it was easy to use for the first week, because being a Nokia users for so many years had me in a Nokia mind set, but I am now fully in the HTC mind set & loving it.

If you're considering this Smartphone or any other HTC phones, I would recommend this, the Hero & the magic, as I have firsthand knowledge & reliably information that these are good. Enjoy :).
