I shall have to lurk until I actually get a Desire. I was going to consider upgrading with Orange, but they are out of stock. I'm not sure I'd like the branding, so I think I'll have to wait until my contract finishes at Christmas and then I'll have some real choice. Meanwhile I plaintively virtually admire all yours :(

Ha ha, likewise... You are not alone. No Desires in stock in my part of the world, either.

Seems to me that the Galaxy S is ruling the roost. And thanks to some really helpful responses from folks here, I am more than happy to wait for a Desire... Got a whole week ahead of me as the agonizing wait continues. :/

Umm, so I lurk because I'm such a noob that my best contribution would be (stupid) questions.
But, I love my new Desire, and was lucky enough to get one, as there's a shortage in my part of the world, too.
It's a great phone, and my first smartphone. Glad it's easy to get around.
The apps make me happiest; I actually plan to discontinue my data plan after the first month, and use my phone as a dumb phone - I'm just not needing/nor using all the "connectedness" that the Desire can do, at this time, and I can still use WiFi.
But the apps - wow! Games to keep my kids amused, list makers and organizers to replace a tree's worth of paper lists, and a calendar app to keep track of everybody.

I've just got a Desire, seems like quite an upgrade coming from the Hero I've had for the past 12 months.

Will be sure to post if I've got any questions :)

Sure! Fire at will!

Please don't be shy about asking noobie questions. We welcome noobies and their questions. In fact, our zero tolerance policy states that we have to be kind to noobs!

Just got mine today (Three UK eventually swapped my shitty Hero for it) and so far... It's far better than my old handset! Aside from the complete lack of lag and stuttering, the radio is far, far better - I actually get a signal in places where I previously didn't with the Hero!

Congrats! I hope you love it!

Taking you up on your offer ...well OK....maybe I bought the Desire first

Thank you! Enjoy the phone and the forums! Dig in!
