*** The Official HTC Desire (Bravo) Thread! ***

Had a look at one at lunchtime and quite liked it. Looking at a video review online though, it seems that embedded flash videos don't play too well? Can anyone with one confirm this? I was hoping to be able to use websites with embedded video like break.com or gametrailers, etc but from the looks of it the videos play poorly? If that's the case, then the only thing flash will bring to the phone is higher download costs as there is more to load and just adverts! Can you turn flash off in the browser for when you are on 3G, etc as downloading adverts will just be annoying. That's one thing about the iphone I suppose - no annoying flash adverts. And if the HTC Desire can't handle flash content properly all I can see is that it brings adverts to the browsing experience :(

So two questions for owners:

1. Can you disable flash for when you are on 3G and don't want to use up bandwidth on adverts

2. Can the flash handle flash game websites and embedded flash films on review sites, etc?

First of all flash isnt available on the phone...its slated to be released around the 2nd half of 2010 so looking at almost year end. With that being said no one knows if Flash will be able to be turned on or off.

Im certain that the mobile version of flash will be able to handle gamesites and embedded flash films etc.

Guys,

Tethering works AMAZING with this.

I've plugged it into my pc, set it to tether, and it automatically created a new network connection and then i was able to browse any site and stream youtube without issues. It took like no time at all.

Absolutely amazing.

Yep have to agree with that...just tethered my laptop to my Desire and worked without a hitch...although make sure you install the HTC Synch program from the sd card as it wont work.

Once done it works perfectly well.

I don't have a Desire (yet), but this video suggests it does have Flash. Gives you an idea of how well it works as well.

I've been having a read and it looks like the phone comes with Flash Lite with Flash 10.1 slated for release at a later date? Can the flash lite be disabled because all that is useful for (in my opinion) is displaying adverts in that case!
 
I have a very strange problem with my Desire. Ever since I got it, I have been unable to receive phonecalls from 1 specific friend. It just always sends him straight to voicemail.

Likewise, if I try and phone him, I get sent straight to his voicemail.

Everyone else on my contacts is working perfectly fine both ways.

Quite puzzled by it.

There is a setting within the phonebook that sets a contact to be sent to VMS automatically. Might be set ??

Thanks, I'll take a look, no idea why that would have happened to the one person, but maybe I had an attack of fat fingers :)

EDIT : Although, come to think of it, that wouldnt explain why I go straight to his voicemail to if I ring him.

Go to people off the homescreen.

Then just click the person (not hold), and it'll have "send to voicemail"

Which you pay extra for even though doing it through your phone incurs no extra charges!

Use a dongle as my only source of internet, so its a must really.

Tethering is good, if on the train or similar. But would go over the 3GB allowance pretty quickly. Which I do with the dongle but the FUP is pretty decent.
