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

Really? So when you press phone or send a message you only have the friends you linked with facebook?

I spent houuurs trying things and every time i either cant attach any and it says i have no friends on facebook or they all go into my phone book and i can sync them then only filter in people.

Im sad and happy if you have O.o

Yeah when I press "Phone" and minimise the keypad the whole list of people there are only my Gmail contacts which is exactly what I had on my Magic and exactly what I want :)

The same goes for "All" under People.

Edit*

When sending a text message I type in part of the person's name and it auto finds them in my contacts list and displays their number/email etc and I just click the number I want to send to. No facebook friends annoyance.

Just rang Voda and got my PAC. Well, I say got, somebody has to call me back with it :confused:

Sick of being offered upgrade deals that are not even as good as the deals they offer new customers. Even the 'twitter' teams deal was £80 more expensive over the contract duration than simply signing up as a new customer. Whats the point?

Why couldnt they just give me the PAC over the phone?

Should recieve a text saying someone will ring you within 48hrs iirc, this is what happened to me, was genuinly ready to jump ship but the guy asked me what I wanted before I left and agreed to the deal, everyone else I spoke to before asking for my PAC couldn't help at all, hope you have the same luck!
 
May have missed something obvious here, but I'm thinking of getting on of these and would like to know:

I don't HAVE to sync contacts with my facebook do I? I want to be able to browse facebook. But I don't want everyone I have on there added into my phone's contacts for when I want to call/text people.

Tempted to wait for the black edition at the end of the month. I like my black gadgets.

Any idea if the price will be anything different? I'd much prefer black over the standard colour :)


Looking at getting mine phone only, then sticking with my o2 simplicity contract that already has all the texts and minutes I want plus loads of internet :)
 
I dont know if this will help anyone on 3

I was an existing 3 customer and went to cancel then retentions phoned me up with this deal that arrived a few days ago:

500 minutes
100 texts (Im not a big text user)
free internet
phone for £115
£13 per month (was £30 less £17 discount)
18 month contract.

Seems like a great deal?

Like I said above, for me I never logged into facebook/Flickr or Twitter when I turned on the phone first time, just Google and then later on I signed into Facebook, Flickr and twitter and let it sync, just go to Accounts & Sync then untick "Contacts" so only status updates are synced (for the widgets and clients SenseUI has).

Even though I did let it sync friends I unticked it afterwards and it's all fine, no issue with them showing up when calling and texting.


rs1800 That's a good deal, just under £350 for the whole term so you're pretty much getting your tariff free because the handset sim free is worth £358 !

How did you sync them with facebook without getting everyone from facebooks details in your phone book?

Edit: Woops didnt refresh before replying!

Ok then you still have the problem.. the point is people want some in their phonebook but not all..

By unticking contacts you remove the facility completely.. So i want to tick Sync then choose only these contacts..

Edit agaiin:

Confused *runs*

SenseUI's Facebook once logged in finds common details like email addresses/names etc for the default contacts on your Google account and suggests Facebook accounts and you can choose to add them or not. When you click into a contact and if Facebook for Sense detects that they are on your Facebook then it will suggest that account and you can link it or clear the suggestion.

If you sign in and sync everything from the first day then I think it defaults to displaying everything....perhaps.

I like to do everything manually and know how they';re working to begin with so I never had the same issue others did.

Yeah it's just the whole changing contracts, porting numbers etc I am hoping to avoid...fingers crossed it comes to o2 soon!

;) i wanted a new number so suited me really...i originally wanted the 'black' version coming to orange but couldn't even wait for that!! (also didn't want the branding/software etc on the phone via orange direct.. carphone w stock is free of all that.. i've left my old number on o2 with a tenner simplicity at the mo. hurry up and get one!!!!:D
 
Just recieved an email to say that the order was processed successfully and that the phone will be despatched soon. :)

Although, on the order page on the site, it says ATP Failed whatever that means.
 
me too. phone them, they will then tell you its out of stock (which the sales assistant lied about, I just lodged a formal complaint against him, cant stand lies).

Ask them when its due in.... and they will tell you it could be upto a month. shopping around most places are out of stock as of today, and all the good deals are being removed.

cowboys.

edit - phones4u have removed the desire from their site....

You're going to hate me for a number of reasons:

1) T-Mob did mine over the phone there and then (Wasn't expecting that :o )

2) I just got another email from Vodafone, which goes as follows:

Thank you for your email.
If you're looking for less minutes with an 18 month contract we can offer you another Twitter exclusive deal;
300 minutes, unlimited texts and internet at £25 per month with the HTC Desire at £65.
We're unable to offer any cash back packages direct through ourselves.
If you would be interested in this plan, or would like to discuss any other options with us, please let me know and we'll be more than happy to get in touch.
Kind Regards

Gunna try and get a femtocell outta them when they call / get the phone for free, they should be calling back within 48hours :D

They clearly just don't like you :p

*runs from thread*
 
I got offered that deal as well - its a crap deal as you can get the same thing but with twice the minutes and a free Desire direct from the Vodafone site via Quidco for 26 quid a month.
 
Thats the deal I got offered but the phone was free, happy with that as I was on a £35 p/m contract before so I've knocked £180 off my previous contract.
