guys,
is it normal your HTC desire becomes very hot when using 3G internet and any messanging applications?

i know it's normal for my nokia phone..but not sure about the HTC..

thanks

but i could not find the turn-to-turn navigation on google maps.. is it available for malaysia?

Very normal for Desire and Legend.
Its not very hot lol.
Try plugging in the power supply and see how warm it gets~
Most probably the 3G usage cause the increase in temp~
No turn by turn yet in M'sia dude~
UK and US got though~

tried install some apps last nite and suddenly got message that not enough space.. any idea how to automatically install new apps on SD and not the phone memory?

Damn i just knw that the quota for maxis count both dl n ul. If i knw earlier i would take 1.5 instead of 500

Put me on the owner list

hey from maxis website desire and legend battery life almost the same except standby time. But other website show that legend battery life is higher than desire. Which one is true?

This is what i think:

Desire have higher battery capacity, 1400mAh if not mistaken, compare to Legend 1300mAh....

but, I guess, due to desire higher power consumption, so desire will finish the battery faster than legend, probably due to 1Ghz processor and etc.....

Get a high-cap batt, a portable charger and a spare usb cable and wall adapter to wherever you might venture to?

This one, you need wait Froyo la dude~

high-cap batt?
u mean above 1400 mah?crazy

Allow me to share my experience. I am a proud owner of HTC desire #16 from the Maxis promotion - bought it on Thursday.

I am already a post-paid Maxis subscriber with unlimited data package. I am not sure if I am eligible for the promotion, thus, I went to the booth and check with the maxis staff. After many rounds of asking, they have confirmed that I am eligible and not require to change my plan but I need to sign a 12 month contract which I am agreeable. After waiting for 10 minutes, they then ask me to go inside the Maxis centre and I went there to wait for another 10 minutes.

Upon my turn, I was ask which plan I would like to subscribe to and I mentioned that I do not want to change my plan. Then the staff said that I am not eligible. I was furious and ask her to check with the staff outside the centre. She went and checked and after a few minutes come back to me and confirm that I am not eligible. In that situation, I was so furious with anger and requested to speak to her superior or her superior's superior if they cannot make any decision.

Guess what? without even the requirement to see the superior, they allow me to purchase the handset at RM1,499 - the next question they ask me is Sir, you want to pay by cash or credit card?

Huh! WTF?

I believe if you're already subscribed but not tied to any contract, it's OK. If you're tied to a contract (eg. the iPhone plans) then you're not eligible. In your case, you're a standard user who have subscribed to voice and data plans (no contract). So I believe you're lucky.

I wanted the phone so badly but I'm tied to an iPhone contract (when I bought the iPhone for my husband).

FYI - I also just check with regular HTC shops. They haven't even gt their stocks yet until next month when Maxis' exclusivity ends. I was hoping that if they got stock oredi, I might persuade them to sell earlier to me. But no luck. 

Also, they have SG SIS sets selling for RM 2150 (price offered to me), which is quite cheap, I believe. Thinking...

Yup, they are available.

google for "nexus one battery replacement"

nexus one and htc desire battery are inter compatible. Look for innocell. I haven't tried them. Read the reviews first of you are interested in buying them. Try looking at http://www.nexusoneforum.net/ website.

Hi JT, interested to know this because I am also an unlimited data package subscriber. Do you think I can "convince" them to let me purchase as well like you? I was thinking of waiting for outright purchase or maybe using my gf's line to purchase but if I work it out like you it will save much trouble!
