After over 12 years, for the first time I have bought myself a new personal mobile phone that wasn't built by Nokia.
The main driver for me to change was, in the end, the availability of Spotify Mobile, and that combined with my increasing use of services from Google has led me to an HTC Hero.
Initial experience has been good. I still prefer a proper keypad to a touch screen for typing, so am grateful for the BlackBerry that work provides to get stuff done on the Tube. However aside from Spotify (which, bar a couple of bugs, is just a dream), the big step forward is the seamless integration of data on and off the phone. My address book can link to Facebook profiles to keep photos and other details up to date, starting a draft email on the HTC can allow me to pick it up in a browser, and Google Docs seems to be fairly well integrated as well.
