Hi I got a question..If I buy AP Desire how do I update it(when froyo release)? Is it the same as buying Ori? Or everytime I update must go back to distributor?

you can update it using OTA (over the air) aka wifi which u can do it urself. Not sure about AP set but for ori set u can send over ur phone to service center for software updates. Availability of update depends on ur set. European sets usually gets updated 1st before asian. but perhaps the gap wont be that long hopefully.

So technically its better to get ap? I was worried if buy ap can't get OTA updates coz phone from overseas sweat.gif

Thanks for reply biggrin.gif

Its always recommended to buy Ori instead of AP. You will still get all the software upgrades from HTC even if it is AP but what you are missing is the warranty from SIS here. Its either you get warranty from respective shops or you need to send it back to the original place to warranty.

if u want longer and safer warranty side, go for ORI,
if u dont care much about warranty and want cheaper price, AP suits u.

Thanks all for reply. biggrin.gif Yeah thinking of getting Ori now..Not much difference in pricing also..smile.gif

I don't have the phone yet but I can't wait for Froyo to be released thumbup.gif

I was reading through some posts and the FAQ. I read that if I buy ori phone it will not have Market but instead SlideMe or something like that. Is this true?

I don't wish to root my hp bcoz I'm a super noob in these tech stuff and afraid of doing anything wrong..sad.gif

i bought mine from Maxis... has Market... others i not sure... SlideMe is a market alternative? 0___o

Yeah..its in the FAQ..If I read correctly must root only then can get Market..They also mention that SlideMe is much more inferior to Market..sad.gif

I'm not buying from Maxis but plan to get from dealer..Maxis more expensive lol

Edit : Oh wait, stupid me! I read the FAQ is from another website! I check the one in this thread it says SIS sets comes with Market! Sorry for the mistake! blush.gif blush.gif

Edit 2 : Q: How come I don’t have the Android Market?
A: Units from some countries such Malaysia, Vietnam are replaced SlideMe market, which is a inferior version the Android market. To get it refer below.

How do I see if my set is Ori or AP(the phone, battery, etc)?

I heard from supplier say he being "honest" for telling it to me that he sell his Ap Desire the battery is Ap "ori" battery..They replace the Ori wan with Ap battery to make money..

GPS is free, but if you use google maps then you need to pay for the data usage as you need to download the map from internet

This applies for google maps only? I thought google maps is already downloaded into the hp itself so its free. Didn't know must still load the map from online.

Is there any free map application that don't have to pay?

If I use the sync contacts with Facebook, and Facebook got some people I don't have the contact in my hp, what will happen? will it save those people's picture without number? Or it will only sync with those that the contact number is in my hp?

you can select the filter, what you want to see.  if you choose contact with phone number only then only those with number will appear.  you can also hide FB contact.

me.... i manage my contact thru gmail contact and synch it to my phone.  i find it more manageable that way.  I was confused earlier when i got SIM contact, phone contact, FB contact.... its all over the place.  Now i oni got Google and FB contact to manage.

Ah, I see..Coz I only want to get the pictures of contacts that I already have on my Sim. Scared if I sync with fb my whole contact list will go haywire coz my facebook got a lot of people I don't really know..sad.gif
