LOL
is this a sarcastic?

LOL...ignore him la

I think battery life has been great since updated to Froyo. But I'm using a custom tweaked ROM (yes, I'm a nerd using a custom ROM...) and I've no problem with using it for 2 days

Not sure about the official stock HTC though

i think u shld tell u customer check wif their operating apps running in background or not. tat would drain ur batt for sure.

battery drain issue can tweak wit some setting example brightness of display....3g connectivity off if not using....
i can inform u tat even iphone 4 are same, battery life lasted 1 day coz my sis usin it......get an extra battery or in car charger if u're heavy user on internet....coz 3g & wifi consume alot battery.....

do u all know how to update to froyo manually?

i think froyo will be less battery consuming. coz i have a n1 with 3G turn on whole day vs my gf desire 2.1 without data plan means she turn off 3G the whole time. but both of us get roughly the same use time with 1 charge. not to mention i also play with my phone more if compare to hers... hope this help...

will need some time to see whether desire got any battery improvement after update to froyo. go go FROYO

woohoooo downloading now!!!!!!

Yeah, I would like to know more feedback after you guys updated to Froyo... how long can one charge last with normal settings... I'm considering the Desire... but read reviews of the battery life makes me hold back for now...

IMO, every smartphone almost has the same battery life

dats not true. battery capacity rating may be de same but de life primarily depends on quality of battery materials and more importantly, software implementation.
android machines prior to firmware 2.1 had notoriously short battery life and normal users had to learn how to disable task notifications, backgnd apps, etc to squeeze juice to last more den half a day. (disregard de fact dat disabling functions bring less value 2 ur purchase of a smartphone).

let's see if firmware 2.2 wld make it more tolerable.

It might be, yes I said might.
Might be that you're not having T-Mobile sim card ?

Actually T-Mobile HAVEN't release FroYo for their set.

Totally agree...what good is a smartphone if the features are disabled

Fo your case you need to debrand it first then try update. Google de brand htc desire and you can find lots of guide online.

thanks for the inform guys...still figure how to update manually o.0

I just update my desire to 2.2. Found out 1 thing. My Stock & News keep auto run after I kill task. Any1 hav the same problem?

Stop the synchronization of those programs. Settings -> Accounts & Sync. Find news and stock and disable auto sync.

guys how to initiate OTA update? jst on wifi/3g then it will notify me?

Activate wifi and get connected to the network. Once done head to settings>>about phone>>system software updates>>CHECK NOW
Wait till the download is done and you're good to go.

hmm alr disable. tis happen everytime i connect my 3g then it will stay active till i kill it
