maverick1200 2,833 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was hoping to get a desire soon. Definitely worth it then lads?Definitely! Everything about it is amazing.I prefer this to the iphone because its open source, im not tied to any software, i can remove the battery and add more storage. Plus the desire just flies along, there is no delay in opening anything even when ive got loads of apps open. Plus you can multi task with the desire.1 thing i dont like about the desire though, is that the apps install to the phone memory (isnt very big) instead of the SD card. This, apparently will change with android 2.2. You can change this by rooting the phone, which is relatively easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
