phone advice

Go to Settings>About Phone>System software updates

Make sure after the update is done you go to Market and download Adobe Flash Player. This will play videos on BBC Sport site for example.

Then download App 2 SD - This will help move as many apps as possible to the SD card, a problem which has never been solved before

Apparently they've taken the update down for a few days due to some minor language issue. Try again in a few days.

HTC desire HD is out next month . It gets a 5 star review from tech radar and is said to be as good if not better than iPhone 4 .

got my desire yesterday, quite like it - got loads of needless apps though which i don't want, is there anyway i can delete them or at least file them away into one so they don't clog up the screen. also i've downloaded the handcent app to view text msgs like on the iphone but now whenever I get a text it still comes up in that and messages which is a bit of ballache, can i make it so that it just uses handcent?!

For those of you with the HTC Desire on T Mobile, are you aware the Android Froyo 2.2 update is now available?

Turn on your wi-fi connection first, then go to settings > about phone > system software updates

You'll see more information and what updates have been done here but for a start you can now record video in HD 720P.

I've had my desire pretty much since the week they first came out, it's a fantastic device. I can't imagine what the next generation Gingerbread phones will be like but if it's an improvement on this the new HTC phone will be mind blowing!

fatrob

Just updated my desire with the new software but can't see any difference in the phone anyone know what the update was for

Curb_It

I am due an upgrade so think will go with this one since you are all raving about it

Ketman

I have heard that the Desire Freezes & loses Phone calls quite regularly, is this true?

nth_london_addick

ValleyGary

nth_london_addick

Curb_It

do you then have to add web browsing on your tariff? i think o2 is saying 5 quid for unlimited so thats 35 quid per month plus vat - free phone?

nth_london_addick

I got 900 mins free unlimeted web, unlimited msgs 30 squid a month plus a free phone and insurance is only 2.50 per month

ValleyGary

how long is it before you can lower your tariff on a new contract, anyone know?

ValleyGary

ive just got a HTC Desire after the advice on here. I am very impressed with it so far. very easy to use. Battery life is shite tho.

JohnBoyUK

And the HTC Desire won the coveted Phone of the Year award too.

Valley Gary, make sure you update the firmware to Froyo 2.2. as the battery life does improve.

nth_london_addick

Mine is dropping calls ( not all the time but 5 in the last few days) got an appointment with the T mobile shop Saturday.

Battery life is longer after update

ValleyGary

Anybody know how the new HTC Mozart stacks up against the HTC Desire? Orange have the Desire out of stock, probably awaiting the new HD version. What is best to go for?
