Hi guys, i'm hihihehe's friend that he mentioned..
Just got my HTC Desire yesterday...
The screen is really awesome, bright and vibrant...
I'm upgrading from my HTC G1/Dream to Desire.. It's a huge step for me as 1.6 to 2.1 is a big difference.
I'm already used to Android OS so what goes where...
The 1Ghz SnapDragon is really amazing, very very fast compared to my G1's 500+ Mhz only.
the HTC Sense is a thumbs up, the UI is so much nicer than the android default one...
People are claiming the battery sucks, yea, but once you know how to close the unnecessary things then it's good...

OK, Here's some shots to show you.

If you're referring to the Email App stock from Android then yes, can input/edit the siggy..
The default is "Sent from my HTC" lol

lol... yea... heard from one of the forumer, only 56 sold today.. if not wait till 27th...
ltr i'll go and check it out

go find mentor first.. finish at 3.30.. around that time i'll go lo.. wanna tag along?
sms me ltr, goin out now

too bad can't get the Black version....
only available in UK from Orange..

IT is for UK only at the moment according to Engadget.com
Colors available are only Graphite/Brown...
Silver and Black versions only in certain countries.
Even the official HTC site only shows the graphite/Brown.. I'm fine with the color because the phone already rocks...
from G1 to Desire, the Processor is a really big help.. from 500+ mhz to 1Ghz is indeed a big improvement.. I always get laggy issues with my g1, now i don't!

A lot of people complaining the battery... yes, the battery does suck compared to normal phones like SE or Nokia but this is a Smartphone. That's y it "eats" battery more than others but if you know how to control it then it's ok.. I like there's a new option to close the mobile network cause this really helps the battery...
Hopefully i'll have time to write a short review of the phone.
Busy with assignments now, don't even have time to configure my phone yet.. lol...

hehe.. thanks...
yea, i alr installed it and it's working... still don't know how you do it for texting... no time to play with the phone yet =/

for turn by turn, i guess google will provide to other countries soon but not sure about m'sia...
I use G1 in m'sia also can access android market alr but not the US ones same here in AUS.

those media files, they have their own folders...
As for the video you will need to convert as only some files are supported at the moment, go their website to check.
I'm currently testing the videos by converting them.. manage to convert into the right resolution but can't get the subtitles(animes)...
The output of the videos are awesome though...

same comment as hihihehe...
I bet it'll be even harder to claim warranty... get from a trustful site , at least to ease your mind

Don't forget, MORE physical buttons!!!
Home, menu, back and search buttons....
comes in very handy.... especially home and back... :thumbsup:

"plus they said starting from legend android market will be available in malaysia"

I don't get this when ppl say this...
i'm using G1 when i was in m'sia last year, i could access to Android market
Of course not able to get those US apps... That's all

AFAIK, Brown/Graphite is available only...
Silver and Black versions are only from the specific carriers(not in m'sia)

the silver is nice but i don't see the "aluminium feel" though

should have used better shipping so can track your parcel...
I used DHL but they gave me Fedex, was able to track my parcel all the way... thank god...

If it was able to boot anrdoid 2.1 then i think it'll be much cooler...
1.6 doesn't have a lot of features

What Htc Desire has that N1 doesn't...
-HTC SENSE
-Extra ram
-More Physical buttons! (Home, Menu, back and search)
-optical trackball! (some still prefer the old one)
-Desire also can be like N1(i install some features that N1 has to my Desire... )
eg. N1's gallery, N1's launcher(5 homescreens), N1's voice search and voice to text...
-all the nice HTC Widgets..

What N1 has that Desire don't...
just a few things i know, don't have N1 so not sure...

i'm not sure as well but i think you are right...
i guess what you mean is the OFFICIAL distributors or something like that since N1 is not announce in m'sia right..

yeah man!


7 Screens(htc sense) compared to 5 screens(n1)
once you use android, you wished you had more screens... lol...

It's worth the wait... trust me...

Power and battery
Removable 1400 mAh battery

Games currently on android are not as nice as the Iphones but everyday there's a developer out there trying to bring out Android's full potential. There are alr a few games not bad but not as nice as Iphones..
If you wanna play games more than using it as a smartphone then go get Iphone.

As for the Video Camera settings,
you can tweak 4 resolutions..
WGVA (800x480)
VGA (640x480)
CIF (352x288)
QVGA (320x240)

Encoding type h.263 and mpeg4

EDIT: If you guys are wondering about the video of the HTC Desire, i could take some samples and show you.. I havn't even tested it myself
