HTC Desire vs Huawei G300 very similar apart from the storage.

So the main problem is the internal storage, if I dont need alot of apps is this still going to be a problem?

The storage is awful, it was a mistake by HTC (or cost cutting), even a few updates to the standard apps and the phone is heading out of space).

Do yourself a favour and look for something a little more modern, the G300 is mentioned, the San Francisco 2, almost any of the newer mid-budget phones would be a better choice.

I bitterly regret buying an HTC Desire, it reboots without warning, is unstable and like other former owners I do not intend to repeat the experience.
Androids are good(speaking as an Iphone owner) and Samsungs kick !!!!. I would abandon plans and go for something known to be reliable.

Sold my HTC Desire C 2nd hand on Ebay for £108 (t-o-o s-l-o-w) and bought G300 brand new for £70 ish

i have had my original HTC DESIRE for approx 20 months, great phone even now although the storage is quite limited it will still take 10/12 apps, which is just about enough for me, easy to use decent internet speed.

RECOMMENDED

i will be glad when HUAWEI stop making the G300 because its all we hear about on this forum.

then you'll be glad when they stop making the iphone, samsung galaxy and sony experia then

and 'makin do' with an htc for 2 years ain't much of a recommendation - which is what the OP is looking for

It’s just the recommendation I'm looking for, someone who has actually owned the phone I’m interested in and had it for nearly 2 years.

I've loved all my HTC phones in all honesty, and had them since android first came out, but you hear such horrible stories about them, I personally haven't had any problems with any of mine. But people mainly go on forums to either get advice or complain about a product

However, as has been previously stated the G300 for the same money, gives you a lot more phone. I don't care who's sick of hearing about the G300, it's a lot of phone for little outlay. If I had the choice of the 2, and I'm a lover of HTC, I would actually be tempted by the G300. Especially for the price and the rave reviews it's getting.

This board is about money saving, how can you complain about someone showing you the G300?
