	Strangely Angry birds refuse to start up on my phone

I had the same problem. Just download "angry birds rio" as that worked for me.

	I got one of these in the spring.. was pretty happy with itexcept for the battery life.. then lost it on a plane... Wasn't too bothered to get another at 165 chfs (I'm putting my work phone sim card in so don't need the call credit) But now it's gone back to 100chfs !!!! ... I'm off to get another one..there's still no other handset out there at anywhere near the same price/features

Where do you get them from, is it still the Kiosks?

There's a new budget Android phone coming soon. The Orange Monte Carlo (aka the ZTE Skate) is a follow-up to the Orange San Francisco.
No news as to when OkMobile will start stocking it.

For those who travel, Huawei produces a cheap but good range of Android mobiles. Just bought their Sonic model with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, iPhone 4-sized screen and pretty good build quality for AUD 185 (about CHF 180).

I wonder if it will appear over here an CHF 100 like the last time?

Can't wait to get my hands on one

We bought an Android San Francisco over a year ago when everyone else did.
Would like suggestions on upgrading the firmware. Ideally something someone has been running without issues for a month at least.

The SF has been great on the original firmware. We unlocked the carrier and used it on Sunrise. The Android store app doesn't work anymore for some reason.

I have jailbroken iPhones, replaced iPhone screens etc. Am a bit green when it comes to Android so pointers appreciated.

A relative of mine has used without problems the Swedish Spring (rls 5) for about a year - this should satisfy your requirements.

(On the other hand, a few minutes ago I've upgraded her phone to Swedish Snow - looking good, also)

is it due to the re-branding of google market to google play?

My SF Blade is on Swedish Spring RLS5 and still working well. The Android App Market recieved an upgrade, disappeared and re-surfaced as the Play Store

CyanogenMod 7.1.0 is running without issue on my original SF bought in CH. It's slightly behind the core Android firmware used in Swedish Snow (2.3.4 vs 2.3.5), although the new 7.2 Release Candidate is out now.

Had to upgrade the device to a 'Gen2' (which voids your warranty) using another bit of software, but this worked fine.

Note that using the 'Clockwork' ROM manager you can backup, install and try out any rom and if you don't like, restore your phone to the original or to your favourite one. I've done this a few times and not had an issue.

Instructions for Cyanogen 7.1.0 here.
