Just got the HTC Desire...

Its brilliant. Anyone else got one? No wonder apple are suing HTC and trying to block them importing their phones into the US. Still trying for that monopoly.

Androids finally on some hardware that does it justice!

I was torn between the Desire and the HD Mini on Thurs.

Went for the HD Mini and it arrived Friday. I'm not disappointed, it's gorgeous

I've had a play around with the HTC Incredible, and it's a pretty nice phone.

The Desire is an excellent phone.

I really can't fault mine.

They are very good, i'll be switching to an android phone from my second hand 3G in the next couple of months, pretty annoyed that apple won't be supporting multitasking on the 3G in their next update.

Android also covers all my essential apps now that it runs evernote and dropbox

I REEEEAAALLLLY want one of these lovely phones but don't want a contract - do you know if there are any good payg deals for them? I get nervous about buying phones from Ebay...

You can buy them SIM free online from places like Play, Amazon and Expansys, then just get a suitable SIM for it. The cheapest PAYG deal is with Three I believe at £350 but their shops seem very reluctant to actually sell them on PAYG at the moment.

If you got the mobile phones board there's a massiv ethread about the Desire and the best deals.

I'm just wondering if Apple is suing HTC for stealing things Apple are being sued by Nokia for stealing??? Apple should watch out its not just Andriod it needs to worry about, theres Symbian 3 which is now open and MeeGo too. Apple can't sue them all especially when backed by Nokia, Intel and Google.

HTC are making some really good phones. Better than the iphone with desire in my opinion having played with both before purchasing the desire. I'm also not getting ripped off with the desire either.

(Currently on a 12 month contract for 40 a month with 120 back through redemption and 35 cash back through quidco making the total cost 325. Can't get that with a iphone.)
