Had the HTC desire for about a month now. Very pleased with it. I'm posting this reply with it now

If you are already an iphone user and you like what you have at the iPhone 3G level then you will be absolutely blown away by the iPhone 4, its unbelievably faster loading apps etc and the camera is way better and it does HD video and the screen is absolutely awesome. And you can then still use all your old accessories and still have all the apps you have paid for etc.....

if your wanting to SMASH your way into the smart phone market the new Desire HD is rumoured to be getting released next month

HTC Desire set for HD upgrade in October - Telegraph

now thats gonna be a very nice phone !!!

I was talking to a rep from HTC last week and this new phone will be AMAZING. It will have the same body as the Touch HD2 but will be seriously more powerful. They 'accidently' leaked it onto Amazon as well.

Just in time for my upgrade - cannot wait

:clap2:
 


I upgraded to a Desire from a fairly dated ,and badly behaved, Nokia last week. Seems quite god so far, but it's way over my head in terms of functionality/technology; and I'm sure i've merely scratched the surface of it's capabilities.

Seems pretty user friendly, and is certainly cheaper on contract than Iphone.

Got a HTC Wildfire recently, very happy with it.

The current weather in front of the clock is a bit superflous though. I can look out of a window for christs sake.
(but I do like the little windscreen wipers when its raining :blush: )

HTC definitely has its fans, but I would go with try both the iPhone and HTC. Everyone wants different things. Personally had the iPhone 4 for few weeks now and think its superb (no dropped calls and not had the widely blown out of proportion signal problems). Mainly got it because wanted a new iPod and needed new phone so made sense.

Don't forget the Nokia N8 which comes out soon, although it's still on Symbian.

"he Nokia N8 introduces a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, HD-quality video recording, film editing software and Dolby surround sound. All in a beautiful, aluminium design."

We were discusing this earlier in the office - we want to see what happens when it snows.

I've got a Desire and I love it thought the battery could be better. I've had a good play with the iPhone and I've got an iPod touch and I much prefer the Desire. Lightning quick and really easy to use.

Had mine nearly a month. Love it.

You can download an app called Open Advanced Task killer to kill off tasks you no longer need to preserve the battery. I found I had loads open without even realising it.

I picked up a Wildfire yesterday, and I'm charging it for the THIRD time already, apart from that - loving it

Yes, mine generally needs a charge a day.
But you can cut down on its "idle" battery use by turning off the GPS / location stuff, and also turn off the auto-refresh stuff for the Friends and Twitter streams - just manually update them when you go to them, is what I do.
