Yes, it is free. Only free apps are published in Market right now. I installed it but dont know how to use, embarassing...

The phone sounds alright, even with speaker but it can be soft with speaker. I would say it is acceptable for both headset and speakers.

No regrets and love it to bits, so far... no cons. Can tell me what are the cons you read?

Added on June 1, 2010, 11:53 pmAbout Nav Launcher, how exactly do we use it? Is it coupled with Maps or should we just use Nav Launcher on its own? What does it do? My settings for Nav Launcher is "Google (Official)" or should I use "Brutt"?

Yea, likewise, it's the same for me. Someone taught me that from part of another forum. Glad it helped.

I dont think I want to install anything from outside Market, so I will drop the Nav Launcher. I can do fine without sound. Thanks for sharing your experience.

It will only find new path for you in Brutt or in the Google Map (Official) too?

I am not clear how Nav Launcher works. I installed it and then it asked me to install "Text to Speech" which I did but the microphone button in Nav Launcher is still grayed out. Then it gives me the option to search for location but I could not type anything into the box. I speak to the it but it was not responding.

Does Nav Launcher works together with Maps? Or its a standalone application?

Actually, Maps provide us with an aerial view of the roads. Hence, even if we take the wrong road, we can see what is up ahead of us and turn at the right places. Additionally, we can always recalculate manually by hitting on the MY CURRENT LOCATION and re-enter the destination.

It's a 3.7" screen, why would anyone want more than 2 fingers on it?

How we check and delete saved spelling?

Bro, can provide me the exact steps to this location? Cant seem to find it.

This I have no idea.

When you warranty your phone, you bring it to SiS, not Maxis. According to SiS policy, it is 24 months.

DIsable background sync and your battery should improve. For such a powerful machine, one day plus is considered a lot liow lor. What can you do on your laptop that you cannot on your Desire, right?

I think this is because you have either the Mobile Network or Wifi enabled, as well as Background Sync. Disable all 3 will help conserve battery when not in used.

What is the largest capacity of Micro SD card the Desire can support? With all the nice apps (see here: http://www.android.com/market/#app=com.epocrates), I thought of getting a decently large capacity Micro SD since Froyo is on its way anyway.

Sorry to interrupt your discussion but is this the update for Froyo?

My friends just shared with me a great tool, Walkie Talkie PTT Lite, which uses Google PTT features to talk to your friends wherever they are with no cost! Just thought of sharing!


Anyway, is anyone using any finance app to track savings and expenses? Can recommend any?

Yes I have tried it and it uses PTT, so geographical distance dont matter as long as both ends are Android with it installed.

Walkie Talkie PTT Lite - found the drawback. Free version can only add 2 friends. Haih...

Is anyone using any finance app to track savings and expenses? Can recommend any?

We should start a "WHAT COOL APP DO YOU HAVE INSTALLED ON YOUR ANDROID" thread.

One question on Android OS, more than on Desire.

WIth all the installation and uninstallation, there are bound to be files leftover in the OS right? How to cleanup? Got any cleanup app like on PC?

Strongly agreed! Some people just love to come diss at good things.

For those using Handcent SMS, when a new SMS comes in, you will receive 2 notifications at the top, yes? How to disable the original SMS application and use Handcent SMS from here onwards?

One Q, i setup my Hotmail, i receive my mail fine. Then i go in hotmail via pc to create rules. Eg; mail from facebook auto sort into facebook folder. Mail from jobstreet into another folder. Now going back to Desire, i can only see my hotmail Inbox, dont have the folders i created. How to fix this?


Yea its nice. Check it out. Very customizable compared to the default app.
