After problems with my old Samsung Galaxy Ace – mostly due to the cripplingly small amount of phone memory in the device – I finally decided to ‘upgrade’.    Budgets are tight, but I – for better or worse – have come to rely on my ‘droid for so many things..

So, after some research, and not being prepared to pay £500+ for a trendy soon-to-be-obsolete phone with scratches and broken mapping app, I chose a middle-of-the-range HTC One V….

At last, a faster-performing phone with decent memory, and a newer version of Android – version 4.0.3, and Linux kernel version 3.0.16..   And – a better camera, etc, etc…
