[Toaods]

Yup,as above.

[HibeeSince85]

HTC's are up there with Apple and Blackberry now with regard to their operating systems, really good phones, Samsung Galaxy is better though

[Antifa Hibs]

HTC Desire beats the pishy iPhone hands down.

For 1, it has flash. 2, an 8mp camera. 3, larger screen. Should I go on

I tried this ages ago with Desire and it dose seem to extend the battery life. Don't know if it works with Desire HD.

1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more
2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour
3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.

Quite interested in acquiring a Desire HD. Looking up a few deals and the best one I've found so far for my purposes offers 500MB Internet data allowance a month.

http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/basket.a...eoc=2425RADHD0

Anyone got a clue as to how that might translate to regular usage for browsing webpages and accessing emails? I don't watch movies nor would I listen to online music generally speaking.

The Terms and Conditions state as below than when surpassing the 500MB per month allowance access is charged at £1 per day for the month thereafter. Would anyone know if this mean £1 on he days you actually use the Internet or would it be a flat charge of £1 for every remaining day of the month whether the Internet is used or not?

Thanks if anyone can shed any light.

Stu,

I use mine constantly and have just had my first bill and I only have used 160mbps of data. Only use it for emails and general browsing on the move like yourself.

If I'm looking to watch things on youtube etc i'll use the wireless connections wherever I am at the time - if available.

Again I cannot fault it (apart from the battery(. The screen size is fantastic and the whole browser is so smooth. A few iPhone users have tried it and they all say its far superior.

Thanks mate, that's a real help. Sounds a very encouraging review too. I tend to be able to obtain a wireless connection around the uni campus where I work so together with what you say, that limitation is not going to be an issue for me.

Can't wait to get my hands on one! I've not managed to clap eyes on a Desire HD in the flesh in a store yet though.

Cheers, bud.

[HH81]

Cheers guys,

Disire HD it is, I might need a bit of help with it as I'm usually useless with phones. Think I might just get it next week as can't wait any longer as my current phone is useless.

I'm getting 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £30 per month with T-Mobile. (18 month contract), only thing is t-mobile's stock seems very limited.

3 are also offering some very good deals with 1GB internet for £30/£35 per month.

Might be checking these companies out direct, you can also haggle for some extra texts, internet and what have ye

My cousin has the HTC Desire HD and it is the bollocks!

[woodythehibee]

im swithering between this phone, the galaxy and iphone.

How would you compare the Android system to the Iphone?

Cheers, Scott. That looks a good deal alright. I don't make many calls though so it's primarily for texting and Internet use. I reckon I can pin it at £25 max for that.

Agree, got my hands on one yesterday, first class!

I can only compare to what friends have said and they all say the browser is so much smoother. Also with Android you can use flash so pretty much all online webpage content is viewable...the iPhone has much more apps but personally I dont really use them. The ones I do use via the Android market seem good enough for me.

[MountcastleHibs]

I'm amazed there's been no one on here caning the HTC. My mate has one and absolutely hates it. Says that it's not as good when compared to an iPhone. Guess it's people's preferences though.

The Samsung Galaxy S is the only phone that would stop me from getting an iPhone, I have only heard good things about that.

I've tried both and can't see any reason why I would want an iphone rather than my HTC.

The HTC Desire just won the top award for phones, it got voted the best phone ever and now the HD version is out. HTC are the best phones on the market, so smooth to use. Android is decent but could really do with better applications but it is getting there. For what it is worth Android are now outselling the iPhone in the US and A. I think people are seeing the light, the iPhone is pretty over rated and the only people that love it are the gullible people that believe adverts and so on.

Doesn't surprise me but the iphone users will never say it in public. They've been suckered into the apple marketing machine and will continue to try and justify it. Very yammish behaviour imo

Mon gramo, what do you think?

Pish. The only thing the I phone lacks is not being able to use flash. It's high time
adobe and apple settle their differences but I just can't see it happening.

Your response of 'pish' to the statement about htc winning an award and currently outselling the iPhone. Fairly typical response from just about everyone I know that has an one. They can't comprehend that any part of it can be inferior.

For me the fact that it doesn't play flash was a fairly fundamental reason not to get one.

I know where your coming from with that, I almost got an I-Phone as my GF nearly talked me into it but heard so many great things about the HTC. There is a guy that sits behind me and if I mention the I-phone to wind him up he almost cry's . I tell him its poor..... you should see his face

I'd say the comment 'pish' was more to do with being gullible and following the apple marketing machine.

Of course Android will be outselling Apple, we are talking about a multi platform operating system over a single company OS.

I won't deny the HTC is a great phone and may be better than my iPhone4 but it's an ugly beast of a phone. I'll stick with my iPhone4 thanks!
