Dom007: sorry for being a bit naive, but what extras will I get from upgrading to 2.1 or 2.2 over 1.6 ?
I have a LG 540 and it seems to have everything I need on it - what will the above give me ?

Good question...and the answer will depend on the expectations of the person asking it. :-)
Android v2.2 adds support for JIT (Just In Time compiling of apps called to run). This makes the phone faster after the first time each app is called. The Linpack benchmark for the Nexus One without JIT are 6.85 and with JIT the same phone is benchmarked at 38.5.
None of that means anything if you like you phone and you're happy with it.
Android v2.2 also adds a wifi hotspot than allows up to 8 wifi devices to share your 3G connection to the Internet. If you don't need or what that.....then who cares?
Android v2.1 and 2.2 add support for multi-touch. But the - / + bar in the browser always worked just fine for me....so unless the app won't work WITHOUT multitouch....then who cares?
...and so on.
Dom007:
right. So as I'm only really a Geek In Nappies compared to some of you others I think I'm happy. Having said that I will upgrade the OS if and when its available but I'm not too fussed anymore about getting a 1k phone just so it can run Android version X. Thanks for your reply.
