Just a hardware failure. You'll more than likely have to send it off for repair unless you have a warranty with your carrier.

Well ive had to send it to htc for repair which apparently takes 4 weeks. All i can say is that im absolutely livid as this is my second desire which also developed faults within the first few weeks. How is this phone supposed to last a 24 month contract when it cant even withstand a few weeks light/moderate use? ive had cheap phones last years and i would hardly call this cheap.

Just damn unlucky mate unless you chuck it about a lot which it sounds like is the last thing you've been doing.

I've been on this forum a lot which gives a good representation of Desire owners and it really is a reliable phone. Had nothing more than the odd FC and freeze with mine which I'd expect.

Good luck mate and hope its third time lucky

I Love my desire, and luckily havnt had to send mine off for repair, but looking around online over the last 8 months its my oppinion that the faults and failure rates of the Desire are higher than the average phone.

In fact I Had my first heart stopping moment with mine earlier today. Took it off charge and tried to turn it on, and it just vibrated a few times quickly then did nothing. Pressed the power button a few more time but the phone seemed to be dead, tried plugging the charger back in, nothing, no led. Squeaky bum time, but luckily a battery pull fixed it and brought it back to life .. phew
