Few questions.

1. Among my favorites contacts, those 9 boxes, one has a contact card within it. Why?
2. My mail home screen is configured to my hotmail, how to manually sync each time i am on that home screen?
3. What are your 7 home screens?
4. Contacts can be categorized into Gmail (after you set it up), Sim and phone. How do i categorize all my imported contacts as 'Phone' contacts?

The data usage is not much. I can confirm this as i signed up for 3gb and use extensively only used 60mb in 24hrs. Probably signed too much but only Rm10 difference. Will use it with my laptop, too bad cannot p2p.

Please update me in owner list.

i just bought a screen protector from Digital Mall called CAPDASE for RM30. Its a bit rough surface but quality is good. I like it, recommended. I tried looking for Desire pouch but seems like whole Malaysia dont have.

Also dont have class 6 micro sd, only got class 4.

Can share the link to the pouch on ebay?

Yes 3gb is too much. 1.5gb is just nice but difference is RM10. To many this dont matter.

To save batt, go to Home Screen and add a widget call Power Control. Turn off everything when not in used.

I am quite sure the number behind the boxes dont mean much. On the paper, i am 15. My box states 19.

Actually u can use google maps, it will use data. The phone is useless without it.

If u configured gmail on your desire, u will get the options to categorize ur contacts as Phone, Gmail or Sim. If i wanna categorize all of my contacts as Phone, how? Anyone know?

I think mine is Matte. It's quite good and I am happy with it. It does not glare under the sun and there are no effects on the phone, does not lose sensitivity. The brand I bought is CAPDASE for RM30 in a HTC stall (in front of Samsung shop) on G floor in Digital Mall, PJ.

The sizes of an Android app / game is as small as KB and barely any that exceeds 4MB. With 100MB, you have a lot to install and you can even install games like checkers, chess, and etc that you probably wouldnt even play.

Despite the complaint of having insufficient memory to support the app, there are plenty that we can forego - down with the silly games and try out more apps! Yay!

If you are afraid and has all these concerns, you should wait out for Froyo to be released to Desire before buying. Maybe by then, there'd be a even better model!

Got like iPhone meh? Some users care more about the 'engine' ma, more power can vroom vroom!

Somehow I can never bring myself to buy Samsung products. Even for CRT, I'd rather go with Viewsonic than Samsung. I see Samsung 17" CRT for a few hours, I will get headache.

The battery drain quite fast even though I dont use it. I just picked up one call this morning and that's it. From 8am to 10:40am, my batt has loss 5 bars!!

3h 2m 36s since unplugged
Here is the breakdown:
Cell standby 46%
Phone idle 47%
Android System 5%
Display 2%

What is Cell standby? How to improve batt performance?

I am considering task killer to kill task that is taking up the batt, not the memory.

Found my problems with the battery drainage.

All Programs > Settings > Accounts & sync >, disable "Background data" and it will helped with the battery improvements.

I have Facebook, Gmail, Stocks and Weather set up.

Facebook interval: 2 hours
Stock interval: every hour
Weather: every 3 hours
Gmail: cannot set interval. Does anybody know how? I dont need to sync contacts and calendar from Gmail!

Google for rumor, I see none with Celcom.

Yes, they are.

The USB to Micro USB cable for charging our phone via PC / laptop has no voltage and etc, so any cable (even Nokia's or Blackberry's) will work just fine with our Desire, yes?

Thanks for the confirmation!

I am very happy with the Desire. I never had Facebook account but when I got my hands on this phone, I thought I should sign up for one to fully utilize it.

Pluck, Twitter and Flickr, which more interesting?

Doubt it since Desire is built for tethering like Legend and others.

I dont know anybody on Twitter so I think sticking to FB will suffice.

Looks like i need to travel to Lowyat for the micro sd card too.

As for screen protector, recommended to buy from Htc stall in Digital Mall. Stall is in front of Samsung shop, G floor. walk straight in the main entrance, you shd be able to see it.

Question to those using Maps, how come when i get direction from A to B, view map.. the map does not follow arrow. You need to move the screen to follow the travelling arrow.

Meaning when the screen is zoomed in, the arrow will move along the road and possibly out of the screen. Then we have to move the map to follow the arrow.

What is the difference between just arrow and arrow with circle??

Not sure about KLCC but my colleague who bought from Sunway Pyramid didnt get the charger today.

Added on June 1, 2010, 8:49 pmAnyone here using Maps as their GPS?

1. How come some times the 'arrow' is with a circle (look like radar) but some times not?

2. If you set direction from point 'A' to 'B', and click GO. The arrow will move on its own and out of the map. How come Maps is not intelligent enough to move the screen following the arrow?
