UK retailer Omio.com has published its list of “Top 10 Phones of 2009” in which HTC HD2 was unanimously chosen over Apple’s iPhone 3GS. This list was probably created on more day to day sales, and in demand basis of cell phones at the said retailer. The Android based HTC Hero grabbed the first spot, followed by HTC HD2 in second position and iPhone 3GS in third.

Those of you who have activated your iPhone through an unauthorized carrier (aka hacktivation) on iPhone 3.x, then your Push Notification functionality in most cases will be broken. Even if you have tried getting it to work through “PushFix” via iPhoneil available in Cydia, it wont work as that fix uses a single shared certificate for all users who have installed it. This causes battery drainage and huge use of cellular data access.
