    I just rooted my Desire and....

    ....it worked great! I rooted using unrevoked (with some excellent walkthroughs on youtube to assist) and was surprised just how smoothly it all went. Running Oxygen v2.0-RC7 (Vanilla 2.3) and I am loving it. It's like having a new phone again. Thanks to Rastaman-FB for providing the words...

    New Desire HD screen issues

    Hi guys, just "upgraded" (ahem) my Desire to a DHD. Side by side my Desire screen blows away the DHDs in terms of color. White looks yellow and black looks grey on the DHD screen. Is this just another amazing "feature" of the DHD or should I return the phone?

    Slice it! - Don't bother.

    To anyone wondering if Slice it! is worth a download let me save you some time - don't bother. It reset my phone twice in less than 10 minutes, drained a LOT of battery and had my Desire running hot to the touch. Merry Christmas!!

    Roaming switches on when I don't want it to.

    Yep. So. It appears that roaming becomes activated from time to time on my phone. For no discernable reason. Anyone else had this issue? Or can anyone suggest a remedy.

    I took a nice picture with my Desire!

    So, after whining like a massive baby for the last few weeks I am now making an effort to get the best out of my Desire (especially seeing as the HD may not be as wonderful as I was hoping - based on the discussions in that forum). So, this morning at about 6:30am as I was about to leave for...

    Am done with the Desire. Buying iPhone 4 tomorrow.

    And I can't wait. Had a full day with one last weekend and spent the last week straining at the leash to have one all of my own. As a "normal" smartphone user (i.e. one that doesn't need to barrel my way into the Linux subsystem in order to unclock the processorzzzzzzzz) I have found that...

    Let's Be Honest About The Battery Life

    We've all heard the horror stories (I just bought my Desire and the battery lasts for about 4 hours!!) and the fanboy wankery (I get at least 3 days of heavy use!!) so today I unplugged my Desire at about 6am and set off for work. It's 7pmish now and here's some stuff you may like to look at...

    Your #1 Tip for New Users

    Ok, well I thought I'd try and get a thread going that would be mostly aimed at people who have just got their hands on a Desire. It seems to be the same story over and over: we get our new phones and spend a week or two (or three) trying to get our heads around it. :D I personally spent...
