Hi everyone,
Right now I have an iPhone 3GS and the closed system is really pissing me off and jailbreaking isn't much help because a lot of the apps on cydia are low quality. I have a couple of questions before I go and get an htc desire (best android phone on telus).
1. Can I easily install new themes? What do they consist of?
2. What exactly is senseui?
3. What advantages does rooting give me?
4. Are The Creeps! and Fieldrunners on the android appstore? (my favorite 2 games right now)
Thanks!!

1. Yes, you can even design your own. They consist of the background wallpaper, various different widgets and desktop icons all arranged to your personal taste.
2. It's a slight GUI modification of the basic Android OS
3. You can run some apps that require it (mainly to do stuff like overclocking etc) and you can flash a new os on to the phone.
4. A quck market search from my phone suggests not.

Thanks, I have a couple more questions.
1. I've heard that the android appstore has a try before you buy feature where you can delete an app within a certain amount of time then you get a refund, is this true?
2.how would I go about making a theme?
3. Is the desire a decent android phone?
