[Desire General] quicksite:
Well I have flip-flopped all over this thread. Initially I defended HTC; I was tooled. They sucked in this case. Then I defended Handtec for handling this honorably. That was til they loaded my Fri April 9th shipment past the Fedex due time... which means it sat in UK all sat & sunday despite my paying expedited charges for fedex.

One could argue that's just how the timing worked out with all the orders to fulfill that day. Howveer they had assured me by phone that day at 3:30pm UK time, a supervisor, that it would go out Friday -- it didn't -- even though it was physically there on premises.

I don't like that.

But even THAT I can accept to some degree.

The part I cannot and will not accept is that they refused to reply to my trouble ticket through their support system -- on Friday, on Sat, on Sunday, and on Monday.

So **** em. I'll do business with their competitors, but not with them again. Honor, my ass.

The good news that makes it post-worthy here is that acc to FedEx the package has arrived in San Francisco Bay area, California, USA as of 4:30am pacific time, today, Tuesday April 13, 2010. That means if Handtec didn't have one more little surprise for me --like some squirrelly 3:30pm delivery vs the paid for expedited 10:30am price, then I may actually receive my DESIRE Tuesday 10:30am.

I had some sympathy for them getting screwed by their Ultimate Partner. No more. People who lie and avoid support tickets I don't give 2nd chances to. It'll be 2 years before I buy a new phone. I am not a "new phone every 9 months type" ... the Hero was an oddball exception. This is a phone i intend to have for 2 years. All I can say is I hope there is no product defect.

Truth is, I have read and re-read that AMOLED pink screen thread multiple times, and like others, due to so much misinformation and misinterpretation of reports of what is being seen and non seen I have NO IDEA, zero idea, what will constitute a properly display on this phone.

This hysteria has not been helped by misinformed postings, as well-meaning as they may have been. I would ask that irkan either EDIT HIS THREAD TITLE, or start a new thread and extrapoate from all the data and examples he has posted to date, and simplify with a chart:

IF YOU SEE: ............. THAT MEANS........

and go down the list with about 5 use case scenarios that include the MAJOR differentiation of what tells HIM (based on all the other reports) when a screen seems DEFECTIVE, vs when a screen seems to be properly functioning, yet the issue is still there re that matrix of greyscale colors used in websites and how they get rendered on Desire and Nexus One screens, etc.

This should be made very simple.... It;s like a frikkin puzzle now, like a game of Russian Roulette. SO I hope we can get some read clarity about WHAT CONSTITUTES A PROPERLY WORKING, NON-DEFECTIVE PHONE vs one that MAYBE is defective. Thanks for all the XDA user help. It's a great community and without the anticipation and thrill over this "smartphone of the year", we wouldn't have all the anecdotal info we have, whiuch forms the basis for some clear answers. Thanks all.
