QUOTE(RedsInHell @ Apr 8 2010, 08:30 PM) What's the difference between sense & touchflo? Sense UI is more of an upgrade to Touch Flo 3D. In fact, Touch Flo 3D is no longer present on all 2009/2010 HTC models. Sense UI brings additional integration and feature on top of Touch Flo for example: - Tighter UI shell integration on top of OS - Tighter integration of social networking application on OS - Live streaming of information from internet to support social networking - Improved tabs navigation I believe there's much more Sense UI brings.

There are a few negative feedbacks on the battery life on the Desire. Jon from HTC Desire Fanatics has posted a minor battery live test: QUOTE Today I’ve decided to put my HTC Desire through its paces and leave my charger at home to see how the battery does.
I feel rather vulnerable without a charger but I can’t always carry one around with me so it’ll be a good test.
Today I have the following settings:
Fully charged at 9am. Screen: Medium brightness WiFi: ON Syncing: ON Bluetooth: OFF GPS: OFF FriendStream: ON
So currently my phone has a connection to my WiFi network and can sync as and when required. I will update this post throughout the day with the battery level for those who are sad enough to care.
11:00 87% remaining – Listened to the radio on the walk into work. I’ve made a few phone calls, sent some tweets and taken a few photos (whilst it’s sunny). Still plenty of juice left before I am reunited with the safety that is my phone charger.
13:00 80% remaining, sent loads more texts and had a couple of calls, checked and read e-mails. Still plenty left to get me through the day.
14:00 75% left. Have only used the phone to send about 10 text messages and read new e-mails. Also, I have just started downloading the Guitar Hero 5 Demo (although the Market seems to be down) Seems not that bad after all. Just don't push it by switching everything ON.

But in Malaysia, the price is higher and harder to get repair/warranty when needed (looking at the list of problems Nexus One has, its scary), so my choice is still Desire.

It's called a feature phone, running on Brew (Qualcomm)'s OS. In fact, some people are calling it "dump"phone running HTC Sense. Nevertheless, I don't think they'll start selling Desire so soon after Legend just launch, to give time for the sales to go up first. I'm guessing the Desire will be sold end of the month of April or early May. Earliest also mid this month. But not as late as July, for sure.

If you do, you gonna pay RM 210 + 10% tax too which I think you better off buying AP set This post has been edited by ineser: Apr 10 2010, 07:02 AM
