Okay, so I've been running with my Nokia E90 for two years now, but fancy taking a leap into the modern market. You may have noticed by my being here that the sweet ass shoes that I want to help me take that leap is (are) the HTC Desire.
So, over the past week, I've been reading every review under the Sun, watching all the videos I can find, and browsing as many forums as possible. Add to this a good old Google "HTC Desire problems", and I think I've got a pretty good picture of what I'd be getting myself into.
We all know the sexy specs for the Desire which make it... well, desirable. I don't have a problem with those. My question is concerning the reliability. I charge the E90 on a daily basis, and I understand that battery consumption on any smartphone is high. But I've been getting a worrying amount of reports of the Desire not even lasting half a day, or more than a few hours sometimes!
Most worrying of all, however, are these copious complaints of overheating and rebooting problems. By the sounds of it, this seems to be due to their motherboard (I'm assuming this because people are saying that is what HTC replace when the Desire is sent back). We have users here with this problem, we have users everywhere else with this problem. This has lead me to believe that it's a dangerously common problem.
I don't do contracts. I bought my E90 for
