Is everyone still happy with their Desire's? :)

[djeaux]

No. The Desire is not a very good phone. It maybe good for games & playing mp3s, but it comes up short in every respect as a communications and PDA device.

Elaborate. I think it performs flawlessly as a communications device.

Edit: by the way, I take back everything I said about Sony Ericsson. Someone over on AVForums just posted some test pics of the arc. AMAZING! (thanks to kona786)

i also think the Desire is a flawless communications device, call quality etc is second to none. and i do have to say those above pictures are very nice

I'm not sure. But on XJ's 1.4.1 Miui ROM, there is only one and it's called Miui Camera. It looks like this...

Cool. Btw Eevek decided against releasing his version until perhaps this weekend. He cited few issues on 1.4.1.

Yes still happy with my Desire, I was considering getting a Desire HD but I figured I don't need it since the Desire does the job and I am saving to get the Asus Transformer tablet (or the Blackberry PlayBook).

4th month running... still not finished experimenting. There's so much you can do with it. Totally satisfied and unless they "re-invent" the smartphone, I'm keeping this one for the next 2 yrs.
10/10

Apparently so.

HTC Pyramid to launch on April 12th under the name of HTC Sensation? -- Engadget

Why do they always start with cool.names like bravo and pyramid, then change them to emotions or feelings like desire and sensation?

I love my bravo

 

[Deleted User]

lol your right SUroot, Bravo, Ace etc are really good, Desire and Desire HD are not as good :L

I love my bravo

Probably, because the (male) geeks in R&D start the project, but then the (females) the Marketing division decide on how to name the phones...

 

[biffsmash]

I love my desire, everything about it is great, except it is an ugly or should I say boring looking phone lol.

As I am a sucker for punishment though, i'll be trying new phones very soon, probably starting with the LG optimus 3D as i'm also a sucker for gimmicks lol

 

[Deleted User]

lol i think it doesn't look bad but it does look abit boring. put it this way the Desire HD and Desire S etc do look better and just more up to date

Where did you read all this?
I've been running it since last friday and I must say, it is simply outstanding. So many customisations I can make built into the rom. So many neat and improved little animations, menus and so on since froyo Miui. I don't know what it is, but I am honestly in love with this ROM I liked GV and Sense to, but I just feel at home on this. And, I haven't had any issues. None.

Happy with mine still - just as well with 12 months of a 24 month contract to go.

That said I'd be pretty frustrated if I'd not rooted. The space limitation was a real killer for a while.

Now with new roms and themes to tinker with along with loads of new apps it's great.

It's also just recently that I've started to see phones that I like more than the Desire. The Pyramid/Sensation looks like the first of those. That said, I'd rather have my rooted Desire than an unrooted Sensation.

 

[Deleted User]

I do like the sensation - I have about 8 months till I can upgrade so i will most likely just see what is on offer in 8 months and get what i like best, hopefully there will be something really good from HTC

haha, you're skating on thin ice with that comment

He has a point though. Some people just laugh when I tell them I have an HTC Desire on GiffGaff. It's possibly not the best combination

 

[SUroot]

I get embarrased using the name "Desire"

I asked Eevek on XDA. Dunno mate, I havent checked it out myself so I cant comment on it. I am amongst those who hate downloading every Friday thats just a tedious job! I prefer waiting for a version thats worth upgrading to. Tomorrow's release looks promising so I might give it a whirl!

Tell me about it. People kept moaning when I used Oxygen that it was only updated once every couple weeks. Frankly, I just can't be bothered. I love change, and getting new features, but for all the hassle of backing up and so on I prefer to wait a bit.

 

[GingaB]

Human nature mate! We are never happy either way! I am happy with upgrading once every couple of months cos lets be honest most Fridays nothing major is added just minor bug fixes here and there!

 

[Elsie]

TBH, no and I'll be glad when my contract is up so I can change to ... An iPhone. Yep, I said the name that shall not be mentioned.

Why?

Because I want something that just works, that I don't have to mess around rooting and updating ROMs just to try and keep the phone working. Ive had to return 2 Desire's now with motherboard problems as the phone was overheating when trying to use GPS.

My kids have got iPod Touches, I'm writing this on an iPad. I know that with Apple you're in a walled garden and you can only do what Jesus Jobs allows but you know what? I don't care! I'm happy that my Apple devices just work, they don't crash, haven't needed to be replaced and to me, just feel friendlier.

I bought my Desire a year ago as I wanted it to be good but as time has passed and I've had daily use of both the Desire and Apple devices, I prefer IOS. I know this won't sit well with some but it's just the way I feel.

I think the females are responsable for most of LG's naming... Chocolate, Cookie, Wink, and so on? lol

When roms are working close to perfect or with little problems, why should there be frequent updates? Neophyte's Aurax & Reflex roms are nearly perfect and he sees no need to tweak them any further, and they ARE just about perfect. I would've stuck with Oxygen if AdamG hadn't gotten rid of trackball wake and CM7 type settings/theming, I also used his OpenDesire project and he said he wasn't happy with that rom for some reason.

 

[donnie]

Well, I've had mine since the release last spring, and I still love it. The only reason as to why I want a newer one, is because of the infamous Internal Memory. However, my girlfriend has an LG "Optimus" GT540, which has the exact same amount of storage. As long as mine's better than hers, I'm okay

Ha! I was thinking about that yesterday too when I heard they were calling it Sensation.

Sensation, Desire... whatever next. HTC Emo?

How about the HTC Palpation
