Got second hand in April 2010 and it still alive :D

I put on the Cooldroid V3 rom last month and it is AWESOME!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bojan155:
Got mine right after the release date in the netherlands, I think around april 2010, I remember I was the first one in the office and everyone came to see it lol. :D

Thought about renewing my contract and get a new phone but I am still too attached to it, so instead I flashed it with Sandvolds ICS last week (before Oxygen) and it feels like a new phone again! Will certainly keep it for awhile longer, love it! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rd. Vortex:
Slightly over two years (PVT1 unit). Got mine soon after release just before the rush when everyone was buying them and the phone was out of stock from pretty much everywhere here in Finland.

Still going strong with custom ROMs (BCM RC3.3 U1 atm.). Probably will be using the phone for at least another year since I'm currently studying and can't really afford to upgrade to anything. :D

My HTC Desire is one from the first batch and over 2 years old. It had the famous overheat & reboot issue and got a motherboard replacement and until now it has survived many drops,dust,rain and other physical abuse and of course hundreds of ROM flashes :p.

However, currently it's enjoying its last days with me until I get my Galaxy S3. Nevertheless, the Desire is a badass phone and an important Android pioneer IMHO.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClanDroid1.0:
I got my Desire just over a year ago when I saw my GF's Desire HD, since then its been dropped on building sites, bounced around in vans, lost in office desks, and was involved in a near death experience with a range rover, (it was me or the desire), so after a kick to the kerb, its top screen is smashed and the trim around the screen is coming loose around the volume buttons....

and i only rooted it 2 days ago!

New housing and were good to go another year!

My Desire is a soldier!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BU7CH4:
i ordered mine in ocotober 2010. i first tried a custom rom half a year ago, because 147mb were just not enough.

my first was Gingerburst, then Supernova which is very similar as it is from the same developer.

i was very unhappy, because it froze or crashed consistently. even up to 6 or 7 times a day!

a couple of weeks ago i was so pi***d, that i changed to the next best rom that came to my mind: ICS (by sandvold) and i LOVE it! no more crashes, and it looks pretty nice, even though i miss sense :-/

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshaped:
I used the "Desire - All things root guide" on Android Forums. I can't post links yet so Google it to find.

I used Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root, backed up everything, installed Data++ HBOOT from Alpharev, then installed the custom ROM. Afterwards, I partitioned my SD card and installed Mount2SD.

It was a very easy process, just read everything before you start and remember to back up :)

18 months old and still working fine, except maybe the battery doesn't last as long as it used to.

Got my Desire 2nd hand in November 2010 but it was quite new (maybe 3 months old IIRC). Since rooting at Easter I have breathed new life to my Desire with all the ROMS available on here and got rid of that low storage problem.

With all the ICS and JV ROMS out there I may be able to keep my Desire a while longer yet or I may look to upgrade to something with a larger screen and better speed. Currently looking at second hand Galaxy S2's but dream would be a Galaxy Nexus (but out of my price range I fear).
