If I check my gmail a lot, should I stick with my ipjone 3G or go for HTC dream
 

Hi there

Can someone here tell me the pros and cons of using a HTC Dream phone ?

I'd say stick with the iPhone. The Dream runs Android, which is great, but as a phone it's pretty crummy, especially in terms of RAM. The Magic is a better choice here. Compared to the iPhone, I'd say the most obvious con is the graphics processing power.

Cause we need graphics processing power on our cell phones. xD

I've never used an iPhone (1st-gen, 3G, or 3G S) but from what I've read, iPhones have less laggy interface in general, compared to the G1/Dream and most early Android phones. If you just check your email often, then stick with your iPhone, but if you reply often as well, you'll find yourself wishing for a hardware keyboard. Then again, if you get the Dream, you'll find yourself wishing for more RAM.

iPhone for sure,
personally for me the gmail on the iPhone runs great
better than any mobile email platform like Hotmail Mobile

Hmm go with what you're most comfortable typing on.

Dream pros:
Hardware keyboard
Push gmail
Better google talk integration (if you use it)
Different roms to try when you get bored

Dream cons:
Bigger
Battery sucks balls
Screen isn't as nice
Everything else outside of gmail/gtalk, isn't as good as the iPhone

I've had all 3, Dream, iPhone 3G, and now i'm using a Magic. I use google talk a lot so i love my magic, but typing on it just isn't up to iPhone standards. However, I did quite like the hardware keyboard on the Dream.

I would do iphone, the e-mail application for the iphone is the best.. hands down iphone is the best phone out there.

^^ you sound like a big iphone fanboi

I came up with a couple more, for big gmail fanatics

Ability to see labels, mark items read, archive easily...and how did I miss this one, threaded conversations.

But then I missed the fact you have an iPhone so it really comes down to how much you're gonna get a dream for. I'd keep your iPhone imo... I did and I still use it occasionally.

Many thanks for your input and since I am getting old and prefer to have larger screen, so I think I will stick around with my current iphone.
