QUOTE(rhliau @ May 30 2010, 08:50 PM) Hi guys, just got my Desire and I must say it's really a cool phone. A noobie question if you dun mind.. how many of u ppl here actually charge your phone up to 6-8 hours during the first charge? I had mind charged for 4 hours already... damn I can't wait to get my hands on it!!! Well the suggestion is to charge it for 8 hours, which I did. Btw, have been playing around with my Desire since the launch, it's really a great phone! Feels like a smaller pc (but of course it won't replace my pc  ). Been downloading off the market and is left with about 70mb phone memory. Now if only we had FroYo, then it'll be perfect~!

QUOTE(ntc3freak @ May 30 2010, 09:56 PM) To those of you who are suggesting to wait for Froyo to install apps to microSD card,think again. Most of the apps at the moment are only programmed to be saved to ur phone memory since we're all using 2.1 at the moment. So when Froyo comes to our phone,there's no guarantee that all the apps will have the option to be installed on the microSD card because the devs will have to update their apps to do so. So I'm just saying its not as simple as waiting for Froyo to install apps to ur microSD card,you'll need apps which allow u to do so. But hopefully by the time Froyo comes to the Desire,most,if not all the apps would have been updated to have the option to allow installation on the microSD card  Looking at the changelog on some of the apps, I say think positive; The devs are working hard to make sure their apps are up to date. Hopefully my favorite apps will be app2sd ready

QUOTE(Pennywise @ May 31 2010, 03:39 PM) 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? I use twitter, as the people & stories that I follow are there. It really depends on you though; what would you use it for?

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jun 1 2010, 10:22 AM) YES - it is one of the major feature in this release. I have tested it on my nexus Added on June 1, 2010, 10:27 amAs far as I know NO such issue - all apps will work irregardless where you buy the phone. I think your friend mean the MarketPlace to buy paid apps - this is now no longer an issue as already resolved. It was an issue in the earlier release of the Androids eg Hero/Magic as Malaysia is NOT in the list of countries approved by Google to download paid apps. But now can be solved after rooting and installed MarketEnabler or MarketAcess both are freewares - just download installed takes only 10 to 15 secs and you can access paid apps paying it thro your Msian Credit Card Not really crippled, just that can't buy paid apps & some apps not available in our area

QUOTE(sajy2k @ Jun 2 2010, 11:14 AM) i saw one article in newspaper saying that HTC Desire is known as HTC Incredble in US.. is it true ??! I dun think so... I think HTC Incredible comes with a better touch screen than desire, the one that support multiple finger-touch at onetime

QUOTE(SEP910 @ Jun 3 2010, 08:07 AM) Hi, I'm keep changing handphone every  ... at least 3 month. So I like my phone to be good as new... So that I can trade it later. And I notice that our "desire" didn't wake up when received SMS. We needs to press the power button before can slide the "unlocked bar" so this apps SMSAwake will wake up your "desire" so that you no needs to press the power button. I'm using Handcent sms app; my phone will wake up from sleep mode when receiving sms. No need to unlock phone, I can straight away quick reply. Think Chompsms have the same feature too. QUOTE(Pennywise @ Jun 3 2010, 09:37 AM) 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? I thinkbthe largest dedire can suport is 32gb This post has been edited by reiki_longtime: Jun 3 2010, 09:40 AM

QUOTE(tHe^CuLpRit @ Jun 3 2010, 12:54 PM) EasyMoney is the best, but 30day trial only. After that need to pay $9.95 Otherwise try Cashew, free app Im using an app called financisto, which is free. Can add many account, downside no built in category; have to key in manually. Maybe we shouod continue at the other thread ;-)

QUOTE(cysun @ Jun 12 2010, 05:31 PM) Any of you folks here have compared the Desire with iPhone? I know it's not apple-to-apple comparison (sorry, couldn't resist the chance to pun this) but compared in terms of the following areas: - UI smoothness and speed - screen image/video quality - camera quality - call quality - experience any drop outs - speed of connectivity and browsing experience - battery life If it's easier, using rating of 1 to 5, 1 being "poor" and 5 being "excellent". So a comparo would look like this: UI - iphone 3, desire 5 screen - iphone 4, desire 5 etc ... Only played around with my relatives' iphone, & I can say the ease of use is kuch simpler on iphone. Still, I love Android homescreen & widgets better :-)
