Nexus One style Neoprone cases on eBay for ?1.45 each, I ordered 2 and they came today along with a car holder (?9.99).

Absolutely fantastic!

Oh and a new wallpaper!

Niceee.

Would you share that wall ?

Man i am always jelous of the navigation thing.

I downloaded the Maps update today with the Nav, but it is not available in Switzerland yet. Hopefully soon.

@m?k I just looked at your apps link and wonder, how do you have so many apps installed? Is it possible to install apps on the sd card? I installed quite a few apps (nothing too huge but I don't remember the total size) to test and a few games and had to uninstall loads because of low system space.

Do you have any tips?

Thanks

All my apps don't add to a big size really, Just install them as normal and I still have 40MB free.

Android 2.2 will add Apps2SD so SD storage will be possible soon.

Thanks for your reply, however as I'm impatient I'm rooting my Desire now to install the Apps2SD ROM and I'll get a new SD card tomorrow :)

Anyone rooted their Desire yet? I'm Orange so I am looking to remove all branding and root it at the same time. BUT I want to keep a backup of the phone, just in case I bork it or it fails later on down the line. So I can restore my Orange backup, and thus not void the warranty.

I have mate, plus I'm on Orange.

It's so much better without the Orange junk.

And Titanium Backup requires root and that backs up everything for you :)

Have a look at Modaco forum, under Android and HTC Desire is all the info you need.

Plus I'm sure they're putting original carrier ROMs on there to restore back to

Hi, I did this last night without any problems, my main reason was to install stuff on the sd card but with apps like startup manager there are lots of other advantages to rooting the Desire.

As funkymunky says, there are guides on Modaco but I found this one to be more helpful as everything can be done from Windows.

Good luck

Got mine in the post this morning (Well, i say mine, my name is on the contract but its for my brother)

photos snipped

Great shots..:)

Hey guys, i would like to say if someone want to write another HTC Desire review, more elaborated than mine, feel free to do it.

Won't bother me at all and mods could merge this thread to the better review.

When i posted i just wanted to give a fast personal insight of the device to other fellow neowinians.

Just ordered one, should have it Tuesday....if I pass the credit check :unsure:

Got it on Orange, 24 month sentance but with free handset, 300mins, unlimited texts and 500mb internet.....all for £25 a month, with 10 months 1/2 price via cashback.

Total cost = £475, and could get lucky and have an extra £50 back via quidco.

....and if I don't like it, I can always sell it on ebay for £300ish and keep my iPhone 3G.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
