[Desire General] PlexusXXX:
Thanx for the the prompt answers and the suggestions which I am trying right now.

I did'nt think about emptying the the browsers' caches because I thought that this kind of data would be kept in my capacious 16GB sd card.

I'm gonna do it right away because I use 3 browsers: Opera as default, but also Xscope and Dolphin which are really great to watch flash videos and I love watching long BBC documentaries in my spare time.

Besides I just noticed that Xscope automatically clears its cache on exit (if the option is activated) and Dolphin stores it on the memo card (also if the option is checked).

As for your questions.

1) No, my Droid switches off (and on ) very fast, much faster than my old Hero or my old N97, or my old Omnia, faster than my old HTC HD, and even slightly faster than my (actual) HTC HD2.

I guess it's thanks of the snappy Snapdragon CPU.

2) I do feel a bit silly having 2 phones but after having tried a Hero I just had to buy one and once I did I immediatly became a true Android convert.

I use Gmail, Gdocs, Gcalendar as my basic programs and iGoogle is my startpage , moreover the choice of free apps on Android market is without equal (i know because my wife insists on using iPhone 3GS, and now she even bought a 27" iMac hoping to get the same seamless sync'ing I get with my google apps on PC and my Android phone).

But no matter how much I love Android, the HD2 ,( which I had since september 2009) is just too good to let it go.

Forget about all the great Android Apps, but to watch pics, vids, to read e books and downloaded PDF pages, and also to listen to music it has no equal (in my opinion).

The camera and videocam (after applying the latest firmware and the fixes found here on XDA) are better than those on the Desire.

The voice dialing for the HD2 just works (thanx to dutty's work) also via BT headset and headphones, while the Desire's best voice dialing app (choice dialer) still tends to suck and the lack of a dedicated "call" button makes things even worse .

For one like me, who spends most of his waking time driving a car , voice dialing is a must; and the one Dutty fixed for the HD2 is just great.

Last but not least I bought that beautiful HD2 active holder for table and car (which does not fit the Desire) and I also bought CoPilot sat nav for the HD2 which works perfectly too.

As an excuse for having 2 phones usually I say that I need one for business and one for private use and maybe sometimes it's true too.

I usually keep the Desire in my pocket and the HD2 in my car or briefcase.

In any case because of my job, most of the time (nearly always actually) I am obliged to find space in my briefcase for a good bridge camera, a little vidocam, a dictaphone, and my netbook with accessories and peripherals, plus assorted gizmos according to the specific situation at hand, so the HD2 doesn't really change much in terms of weight.

Unfortunately the only phone that maybe would be able to substitute both my phones would probably be the HTC EVO but it seems like this beauty will never make it to our decadent european continent.

So I look forward to be able to buy the Dell Streak (mini5) and I really hope that next month , once hopefully I'll finally manage to wrap my fingers around it, I will not end up carrying 3 phones.

What do you think?

I'm a desperate case?
