HTC Mobile Phones Thread

quite a price tag for a dock :)

thanks for the replies, sounds not too bad :))

one more thing, what i love about the iphone is the fluid sequence when changing from regular to landscape view - how does the desire handle this ( does it at all, havent read too much about details yet :)

my sister got the new sony vivaz and it is very stuttery and not good at all imo, something that bothers me with phones
 
Orientation changing is instant and very seamless. It doesn't have that flow that the iPhone has, it just switches. But there's no lag and it just works well :)
 
what the heck, going to order one. not much to do wrong for 430€. :)

bye bye iphone :D
 
My N1 browser has slowed to an absoloute crawl :( It seems Flash plays havoc when it loads adverts and it can make your phone ridiculously sluggish.

Its not good specifically on your points above! It is a great phone though and I swapped myself from a 3G and think all round its a better device as a phone.

1) Dock - not that I have seen

2) MP3 Player - I downloaded another off the marketplace and it works fine tbf. Speaker on the desire is poor though, so headphones needed

3) It runs Android, plus HTCs own 'Touch' which is a skin over the top. Because of this, new Android releases arent immediately put onto the Desire as HTC have to integrate it with Touch.

4) Wifi works fine and you can drop a handy widget onto the home screens to easily allow you to turn this (and Bluetooth/GPS) on and off with a click

5) On screen keyboard is awful IMO (coming from an iPhone), the keys are far too small and too sensitive. You can download other keyboards though (which you couldnt on iPhone) and I currently use one where you drag your finger over the letters instead of typing and it recognises the word you want - very clever!
6) Browser is very good, quick and when you zoom in, it refloats all the text onto the screen, so no constant panning/zooming.

As I put above, unfortunately that sounds like a list of bad things, but its just small things that dont really affect my use of the phone.

I listen to music loads through the Desire with Bluetooth headphones and it sounds great. THe new keyboard makes typing a breeze.

The Desire is far more customisable than the iPhone, so you should be able to set it up to do exactly what you want - the new 2.2 update (FroYo) is also meant to speed things up even more, which I cannot wait to see as the phone is rapid at the moment!

Oooh I didn't see this post for some reason!!! Just spotted it. Looks quite good...
 
Its out tomorrow supposedly as is the Dell Streak on O2. £429 sim free so same price as the entry level iPad. Im not going to rush into buying a new phone. I will wait and see the final spec of the iPhone 4 on Monday and if its good I will just go for that as I do like the look of the prototype unit.

How is it as a tablet/big smartphone Jonney and is the size annoying when trying to make a normal phone call?

It's massive and really not ideas in putting it next to your ear to make a call. You would look really stupid doing it. The size of it is more or less the same size as the original psp but alot thinner and lighter. see the pi I posted as it's laid out on a A4 notepad
 
what a pointless device! Bigger than a smartphone, smaller than an iPad.

Who on earth are they pitching that to? Giants as a phone, or midgets as a tablet?

Thanks Jonney. I think I will pass on it.
 
Engadget, Eurogamer, Twitter and Movies are my favourites.
 
All except for the Eurogamer app, I got that via a link on their forum.
 
Yea I do. Installing the Facebook app from the market gives you an updated version which allows you to send/receive private messages. From what I remember the stock FB app didnt allow you to do that
 
I got that OTA update and now my phone battery life has gone shit again on the Desire....why?!?!!?
