Yeah..there are PLENTY of retailer selling Ori Desire..Don't think those are Maxis sets..
*
but dun think those units are europe units right?
i mean can u check the model number or firmware to determine what unit u having?

QUOTE(AskarPerang @ Jul 31 2010, 09:14 AM)
Exclusive sold by maxis only for the first few weeks after launching in m'sia.
Should be 1 month period for maxis but retailers start selling ori sets even before that.

Many other retailers selling original set now.
But now why wanna get from maxis unless you want to take their plan and tied down with a contract with them.
*
err,i think i nvr ask ppl go for maxis set right?
but ya,is ur choice..

or ram only? what do u mean? if u mean of ram only so it would be a hell lacking of free ram left =="
not due to root i guess.. as some rooted unit can be updated and instantly wiped the root out when its done.. im not even quite sure since ive never did an OTA btw for android
*
sry,typo
ya,is "of" RAM

and ya,u can update with ur rooted device but u might not get back to root after updated...

400MB of ram? yeah.. since eclair isnt it? the rest of RAM is reserved for system task, gpu n such if im not wrong.. i read bout it somewhere since a part of the 576MB of the desire is not actually went lost, it is reserved automatically by the system. Not sure bout the galaxy S as i heard that they r saying that that device still cant allocate the full amount of RAM due to OS but maybe its automatically reserved just like on the desire. Some already tweaked and managed to gain a lil part up to 3xMB of RAM via kernel tweaks if im not wrong
*
what i mean was shouldn't it list out the total RAM of htc desire since the kernel for froyo can support more RAM?
but it is fair enough if it reserved to the system and never show out..

and ya,the RAM at eclair kernel can't support so much RAM

QUOTE
"The Android 2.2 (FroYo) update for HTC Desire will start rolling out across Europe this weekend. As well as including the complete set of Android 2.2 features, the update will contain a few special additions of our own through the latest iteration of HTC Sense. The update will provide 720p video capture, HTC's App Share widget, as well as our enhanced HTC Caller ID, and improved multi-language keyboard. Also, through the update, HTC Sync will allow HTC Desire users to sync their music with iTunes.

HTC Desire users will be notified that the over-the-air update is available to download when their phone automatically checks for software updates. The update won't delete any of the phone's content. However, due to the size of the update, we would advise using a WiFi connection to download it wherever possible to avoid additional data charges.

This update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks' time."
