i have ordered one from tmobile and awaiting delivery. in the meantime i went to carphone warehouse and played with it. nothing to fault. i have an iphone and have been a fanboi of it. however, the desire's multitouch is very good, changing screens is fast, opening programs are speedy and the keyboard is good as well, well, better than iphone as it is slightly wider

Think of it this way, higher speed means less time waiting for things to load, means better battery life about the multitouch, it is pretty good. accurate enough for normal usage, text input is good as well. definitely, iphone is better, but then by only 5% at most. the speedy proc enables multitasking which is good, load your RSS feeds and weather while u surf the net or reply a text while playing pandora/spotify/lastfm... its seamless though the leap view is kinda slow and not 100% smooth. but about screen quality, there's none of the boring 16 apps on your homescreen + 4 on the dock. u can customize it.. no matter how u customize the iphone only can see 16 apps that just move around... non functioning i should say. i have not tried the notifications on the desire (delayed due to lack of stock here in uk) but hopefully, it works better than the in-your-face pop outs (sometimes, i can get 3 pop-ups in 1 go, text, fb and ebay)...

Its a good phone... accurate gps, nice Layar reality browser, very geeky. haha... build quality is good, hate the nokia-ish rear cover, prefer legend type, but then, its ok. notification led is nice nice sounds, loud speakers touchscreen accuracy and predictability loses out to iphone love the back and home button...

QUOTE(linkinawe @ Apr 26 2010, 07:52 PM) Desire 5 megapixel camera lose to Iphone 3GS 3.2 megapixel camera . Go youtube check 3GS vs Desire video recording . 3GS is much more better . so even the firmware support 720P recording , the video quality still so~so because camera quality Unless and until you have both, kindly refrain from making sweeping comments / one sided comments.. Can get it from so many retailers in UK and get it sent worldwide unlocked. Android games are usually not as good as iPhone 1. latecomer 2. can't install to sd card due to linux limitation so have space limitation thus limited good games.. but, there are alot of games that can pass your time really quick 1. Abduction 2. Doodle Jump 3. Robodefence 4. Jewels This post has been edited by alexng2208: Apr 27 2010, 04:14 AM
