http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DdK11UJutk here is Desire vs Iphone ..

but you also can search 3GS recording and Desire recording separately then do the comparison
*
The desire video is a bit suspicious though IMO. Desire does records higher resolution videos right? (Correct me if wrong)
Maybe that guy was some iPhone fanatic or something to make the iPhone look better tongue.gif

All in all , just my opinions la . Wait for the final product to be released then we'll know rclxms.gif

i knew about this...
to me, is not a big issue.. so far only the HTC site show a little pinkish, i ask my gf, she say it's fine.. lol...
A lot of ppl in Aus have that issue too so i guess it's not a big problem maybe the next firmware update will solve it
*
They said its the hardware-wise problem with the AMOLED screen itself not quite solvable with a firmware update.

there are only 5~15% users encountered this problem , so far watching the Desire review in youtube , I dont see any pinkish . The Desire video I watched are usually HD.
*
Actually there are some videos i've seen got this pinkish tint on the screen thou , especially when in the camera app.



Look closely at 0.42 , somewhere when he lifts the phone slightly . U'll notice some pinkish tint there .



Look at this one at 1.11 when he slightly lifts the Desire , fairly obvious that it has a pinkish tint there . This thing will come out whenever there are slight Grey coloured things .


QUOTE
yea... i read somewhere that someone did ask about this to HTC and HTC replied that it could be fixed with a firmware update..lol


Yeah , lets hope it does but quite impossible .
I posted this is not to make people scared to buy this phone but to let people know what they are getting.
Its still a great phone and has very nice features.

I still considering getting this , Desire or the Nokia N8 which does 720p recording.

Edit : How to embed the Youtube video ? icon_question.gif wink.gif

Bro... are you sure you're replying on the right thread let alone replying to the right post? Thats a flat out copy from my post on the Samsung Galaxy S thread. This is Desire thread.

And I'm the one discouraging price speculations based on converting prices from other countries.

Anyway, RM2290 for Desire isn't entirely baseless. True, the N1 is around this price. But its not available in this country. Availability through imports don't count. Still the RM2299 price point is left vacant in the Malaysian market.

Also... only geeks or enthusiasts like us care to buy or consider Nexus One. Normal people buy whatever phones officially sold in Malaysia. The statistics say it all. biggrin.gif

Agree , people wanna buy something straight from a shop locally but some people like me , doesn't like going to trouble order and get it sent to our house and have to wait somemore. wink.gif

if I buy now at Rm2.3k ... and when sis set of 2.3k release , I wont feel any dissatisfied .. because I am going to root it after 2 4 months of usage . .. After root it will void the warranty , because a "unlock" sign will show when phone reboot .
*
Cannot change to the stock root or something?

cant , it would not be the same as Iphone . Let me clarify 1st ,  the rooting wont void the warranty , but in order to root , you have to modify the bootloader  , modify the bootloader is voiding the warranty . Bootloader is someting that you cant flash with stock bootloader , once it is modify , it stayed there forever. When you start your pc , a black screen appear first right ? that's one bootloader.

And do you know why you shouldnt wait and grab  the ap set faster ?
check it here
Desire update 1.19 for Asia (release) RUU leaked... checking it out now. Has new radio and a new hboot. DON'T FLASH if you want to root!
Paul from modaco wrote this , he is the one who hack root N1

so if you want to wait for htc sis set , it maybe upgraded to a the firmware which Paul talking about , making you cant root your Desire . Just like new Iphone 3GS cant be jailbroken , I remember it is  OS 3.1.3 , correct me if I am wrong .. root is having root access making you can use apps to SD  icon_idea.gif

btw , I am getting my Desire on tomolo , Rm2340
*
So , if we don wanna root still can play games but not stored in the SD card nia ar?

remember to unroot back n restore to the ori setting, still can claim, dun worry.. wink.gif

Unroot possible? The guy above said cannot hmm.gif wink.gif

If we are familiar enough with how HTC do things or design around their hardware, nothing is really irreversible. Their WinMo phones are a good example. HSPL can be removed and re flashed with stock SPL. Their Android phones however deals with recovery firmware, etc. Slightly different food chain hehehe... but don't worry. We have XDA Developers. We'll get there soon enough. Hopefully rooting or custom flashing will be easier to regular users like you and me.
*
So , without rooting we can still do whatever there is to do right? Only that we cannot store those apps in SD card?
And i heard that App store doesnt support in Malaysia is that so?
Sorry for the nooby questions , didn owned a android device yet . Considering getting the Desire tho. Most probably the Ori.

Okay , i get what u mean now .. kinda. So , we are better off not rooting if we have an Ori device ? Cuz that voids the warranty.
And yeah , i do not want to void any of my warranty if something mishap happens.

not fair ? lolz compare with Iphone , almost same the price la ... sorry to making this sound offended , if this is out of your budget , get Legend instead  biggrin.gif , or save more money  ..... You cant expect the price of the phone is same as your expectation price , Rm1.8k ~2k for this monster phone ?Then who is going to buy Legend and Nexus ?? lolz .. the Legend and Nexus controlling the price of Desire  C'mon , high end gadget wont come in cheap , you are paying for what you get.. Or you can order from clove.uk (Rm1.8k , but praying for not getting catch by kastam ) , or wait for 5 6 months for the price to decrease ~ Rm2.3k is acceptable price for me  rclxms.gif  , one of the best phone on the earth !

anyway , I have  a good news to tell all of you !! PROUD OWNER of HTC Desire !!! now my excitement still blasting ..
Got from Terry bro this afternoon in The Garden
