HTC Desire... who's got one?
 

decent or?

thinking of getting one....

how does the battery hold up?

HTC makes great phones, it looks very similar to some of their others. My EVO 4G is sick.

have you seen the new iphone4? Wow.

just dont by the sliding keyboard ones, those suck, one piece ones are awsome

HTC Desire > iPhone.

Watch those magical bars go missing when you pick up your phone.
Best of luck to all iphone 4 people. :1orglaugh

I love mine, just waiting for the Froyo update to be available, the battery is holding up great, of course with syncing mail, using Spotify in the phone and playing games it needs to be charged every day..

I'm really impressed. I like the integration with google tools like gmail (and not being locked in Steve Job's prison too of course). Battery is k, you'll prolly want to have it on charge every day just in case you get caught out, but it's not like you need to unless you use it all the time.

yep i have htc desire, it's awesome, the best phone i ever had, and android works like a charm

HTC phones are nice, android os, sweet

I've had one for about a month. It replaced my iPhone 3G.

So far I am satisfied with it. Not blown away, but satisfied.

Obviously the Android system has a whole lot of advantages like greater freedom and all that.

Compared to the iPhone the major negatives are:

The standard keyboard on the Desire sucks. I have not tried alternative keyboards, but intend to experiment.

Battery life is pretty poor. I get 1.5 days maximum. And that is with wifi disabled (it kept losing connection to my access point both at home and at my office).

Scrolling etc. is quite laggy compared to the iPhone.

A couple minor complaints: Desire can only be woken from standby by pressing the top button. No physical button to mute the phone. Takes _forever_ to shut down -- we are talking 2+ mins. No proper video podcast app (Google Listen works well with audio only).
