Buddy!

Alright, I'll share my desire experience here.

To be honest man, that very night before I actually made up my mind to sign up for the desire, I searched up the entire net about opinions.

But reading the review and getting the phone itself, that's really two different aspects of the phone you'll get.

The sms functions are flexible this time round due to the wide screen the desire has, unlike my old HTC touch diamond 2, I had such a hard time using it for smses!

And for the rest of the bugs I wouldn't say there's none. But since the days I've started using, the bugs are more or less either not obvious, or not annoying. Cause as a previous iPhone user, bugs there are much more obvious and annoying.

Lastly I guess i'll give the desire a 8/10 as a phone due to the not 2.2 android software that we have, which I hope will be updated soon, and also due to the fact that applications cannot be stored on.SD cards.

However if you wish to root your desire then its a whole different story..

The HTC sense is really awesome. That's the trump.card of the phone, as it really upholds the name of a smartphone.

Wish you all the best,

Pardon me for the vocabulary here.

I love mine, had it 4 days

bought it SIM free never been near a carriers branding team.

£399.95 from a CarPhoneWarehouse shop, zero issues, much better than my iPhone 3gs.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
1. It's awesome. Especially if you're coming from Windows Mobile. Check out my review. Would also suggest you look at other reviews of the device. There's a sticky thread in the Desire General section for reviews. You may also want to see this!

2. Hell yes!

3. Check out my stickied thread in the Desire General forum. Keep in mind that none of those items really get in the way. Many of them are simply a result of our own high expectations. Everything that the device is advertised for works very well.

4. I can see why you're asking this because in WinMo, the OS often lags for no apparent reason at random times. This doesn't happen on the Desire. It only lags sometimes when you shut down. It's odd. But if you don't shutdown, it's fine. And if you just want to softreset, just use the hardware key combination (power+vol down+trackpad).

5. Web experience is arguably the best across all smartphone platforms. Versus WinMo, there's no comparison in terms of speed and stability. Versus iOS, it's just as fast plus you get full screen browsing along with text reflow. Tip: Turn off Javascript and Flash to really speed things up.

6. SMS looks and behaves very similar to the HTC Messaging application included with Sense 2.5 for WinMo. But as you might know, it lags in WinMo to the point where it's almost unusable. No lag in Android on Desire. Soft keyboard is among the best.

If you want to see the device in action, Youtube is your friend...
[Desire General] ADeadlySpoon:
Oh wow, I really didn't expect so many replies so quickly.

Well thank you all for your input :D you've pretty much confirmed what i thought, this phone is awesome. I'll be getting it for my birthday so I shall now await that day with great eagerness!!

From the videos of the phone I have seen it looks like a truely awesome phone.

Yes I am willing to root the phone straight off, maybe a day or two after I get it... I've already read up on it and it doesn't seem to be something straightforward but not impossible for me to do.

Thanks again for input everyone. I shall definitely be getting this phone (if money agrees as it'll be unlocked then my current sim used).

One more question, I heard about the 2.2 release having 10.1 flash support... What sort of flash support does the current 2.1 have?

Luke. :)

It have only a flash lite version that is able to play videos not very smoothly.

Does anyone here work at Best Buy? Curious if the white Evo has arrived in stores. What are the chances that this phone will ship with OTA already applied? Also, how early does Best Buy get to turn one on as a demo unit? I have one pre-ordered for the 11th and hope to get some info on it now.
[EVO 4G General] Klasickwun:

Hasnt come in yet... if i get it early ill post pics
[EVO 4G General] Djghost454:
My store has 2 white demo's, one functional, the other not. It's just a white battery cover, nothing special, the rest of the phone is the same, black bezel, etc.

Stock won't truely come in untill the 11th afaik.
[EVO 4G General] phillycreamboy:
Can you check to see what hardware version your demo is 02 or 03. Also is it an Epson Or Nova screen?

I saw the dummy phone at my best buy and it looks like more than the battery cover is white. It seems like the whole back bezel is also white so the phone looks half white half black from the side view. Pretty cool looking IMO.

I got my white one today. Does not have the OTA update. it was built on 6/25/10, rev 003, epson screen. i swapped my old one, and i could not believe how different

the screen looks. my 002 nova was super purple. looks fine if you have nothing to compare it to though. your best buy should probably have them today too.. they got the go ahead to start selling them early.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjex:
Can someone explain this to me?

I've tried two car chargers:

The micro Duracell, output: 5v, 750mA

http://www.duracellpower.com/cell-phone-chargers/portable-chargers/usb-charger.aspx

Griffin PowerJolt Micro, output: 5v, 2.1amps

http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerjolt-micro-ipad

And none seem to be doing anything. They charge my X1 other phones just fine, even the bluetooth headpiece but not the X10. What gives? Is there a solution?

Really don't want to buy a third usb car charger and I REALLY like the micro format.

Do you figure this charger will work?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WH3QLE/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

The output is 700 mAh which is what the SE plugin charger is at.

Thoughts?

Well, I don't know about the one u have posted, but believe it or not, this cheap piece of hardware is working very good for me (damn, can't post link cos I'm a new member... go do dealextreme . com, and search for : "35687". It'll show u the charger I use).

Use it to charge my SE x10i every day to/from work ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjex:
Thanks for the tip!

Can you let me know what the output is for that unit? Can't find it on the site.

I have a suspicion we can't use anything that pups out more that 700 mAp
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mancubus99:
Its not the amperage thats the problem, the problem is the x10 (kinda). Its set to only charge when the data pins are shorted on USB, i.e. when it's connected to a computer or a 'compatible' charger. All you need to do is short pins 2 and 3 (the middle pins) on the female USB connector on your charger and you're good to go. For me, I just took some solder and spread it across the pins on the outside to short them. This will work for any USB charger regardless of the power output. No worries about damaging your unit, I have been using my car charger with my x10 for months with no problems.

As already stated many times, HD2 does not come with any WM6.5.x Stock ROM ...

What you need is a Wm6.5.x build + WM6.5 Stock ROM and mix them up...

i just went in the cdma hero section and just looked around for the themes that were sprint based.then did nandroid back-up.then flashed then and see if they would boot up over the rom.

I have a question about the specs of the X10

Q: Does the X10 support Multitouch?

A: No it does not support Multitouch, SE claims that it's hardware on the X10 is not capable of supporting multitoch. SE though is working on a software alternative for multitouch.

There is though a rumour going on that an SE representative has said that multitouch is actually hardware supported though due to possible claims it's currently not supported by their software.

At this moment their is not definitive anser to wether or not multitouch is supported.

Q: Does the X10 support WIFI channels 12, 13, 14?

A: This is currently under investigation, it looks like the X10 will support channels 12 and 13 on their current hardware but not channel 14. On the SE software the support for channels 12 and 13 however is currently disabled.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jamio88:
Well I have a few questions (I am sure I am not the only one wondering). They are:

1) If I hard Reset after flashing, will I have to reflash? (I assume no, but better safe then sorry)

2) Now that I did the Hard-SPL and Flashed, If I want to reflash, can I do it from my Rhodium?

3) With my CR, can I install custom fonts? Any chance this will brick my mobile?

4) Do any roms support full flash? (I can almost get Hulu on skyfire now, but it tells me I am outside the USA, which I am not. I am in Ohio)

5) Are their any apps that will let me fake my IP (even though I should not have to, as like I said, I am in Ohio & even took my Sim card out)

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appriciate any and all help you fine folks can provide.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
1. No, a hard reset just puts everything back to as if you had just flashed that ROM - i.e. no added applications/data, and settings to default.

2. If you want to flash a ROM then you can do it from SD card if you want, not sure if that's what you mean.

3. Sorry but I don't know what you mean by "CR".

4. Now you're talking about Adobe Flash, right ? I think that Internet Explorer supports Flash.

5. Don't know. I would be suprised if there weren't. Surely you can just use any web browser to go to one of the many IP-hiding services on the Internet ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tixer:
Looking to get a phone running Android, ideally one that's relatively cheap (~$300 tops, no contract). The only requirement that I have is that it has a keyboard, and can use UMTS. I was looking at getting the Motorola DEXT originally, but the lack of a version of Android above 1.5 that would work on the phone is a dealbreaker (you can't run Eclair2Cliq with the version of the phone in Canada, and I don't trust Motorola to release it).

Considering it looks like I've exhausted the actual Android phones, what phones out there can be hacked to run Android 2.1 or 2.2 easily, and have a keyboard. Additionally, all features must work (eg camera, wifi, etc must work once hacked). I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but I want something that's going to work right off the bat, not something I need to wait for to be hacked / rooted.
