hi guys, im interested in getting the desire becos of its mod-ability

but there are a few things that concerns me:
1) multi-touch issue: i heard that the desire doesnt have true multitouch. for desire users, how does this affect u? in gaming and browsing, using other apps etc...
2) 3D gaming performance: for games like NFS, asphalt, dungeon hunter, assassin's creed and other 3D gameloft games, would they lag on the desire? would a custom rom like CM7 help much?
3) internal ROM space is small: heard that although we have app2SD, some apps still install some files on internal ROM, which means we will run out of space to install apps soon right? how would this affect usage? are there work arounds for this? i read some stuff about partitioning but don't quite understand @@?
Honest opinions from me:
1) There are certain games that support swapped axis but it still affects your gaming even if you swap.

It is not just about two axis sticking together. Even if they are apart, there are other problems. So if you want for gaming, don't get this phone. Browsing wise no problem honestly. (Almost cannot feel the glitch- but the way I pitch-to-zoom it affects me but I don't do it normally

)
2)Playable but 1) causes too much problems. If there are too many controls the game can be quite useless. (eg: You can sometimes end up throwing grenade rather than firing, affecting your aim instead of moving, etc, or randomly casting skills, it happens. [even after swap] - This 1 is not the axis glitch but secondary point swap glitch xD) This phone is definitely not for those level kind of game. Btw 3D word here is major gimmick. Almost non of the games can (should be) be classified as '3D' or 'HD' games. At least imo. Take those 2 names and put it for PC then you know what HD/3D really means

. But they are higher end games though so.... calling gameloft games can be classified as higher end. But to call it HD is really..meh...
3) Small issue. Workarounds all confirm to help. App2SD+ (meaning using ext type partitions) can allow you to install looottsss of apps (I got like 120ish, some users here have crazy amount of apps

) Space is no problemo. It's like your windows lar. If you make 2 partitions on your HDD, you can have 2 different Windows like Win 7 or XP... similar but in this case it's storage or usable...something. Idk , check out Ext 3 linux partition. There are glossaries on definitions on xda dev. TLDR; Can install until you don't have enough RAM to support
if you want gaming ar, if you buying a new phone ar, get LG Optimus 2X...RRP only 1700 I also pengsan liao...cheaper than my phone when I bought it...

But Idk if I can trust Life's Good.
Despite all these problems, I just get iPod Touch instead.

I wanted to let go Desire a few times but in the end, meh.
If you're buying new phone, don't get Desire though. If you want to just try out Android, get those lower-end ones. Better to buy Desire S AP Set. or Incred S OP.
Improved version of Desire.
