I received my charging dock and the extra battery.
Its pretty good, but I have never had a dock before so cannot really say if its better or not than others

How does this phone update? If a new version of Android is released how is it delivered to the phone as it doesnt seem there is any pc software that does this?

If you go to Phone Info in settings, there's an option to search for software updates.

So there is right at the top of the menu lol :/

Last update on my Magic I got an automatic notification. Guessing it will be the same on the Desire.

I bought a desire a month ago from mobile phones direct. I had to send it back for a replacement. On Wednesday they finally managed to tell me they were sending the replacement and it would arrive on Friday. It didn't arrive on Friday
I wonder if I'll ever get it

Should have listened to the thread on here.

Anyone know if I can get the regular green Messages icon?

From previous Android versions?

Don't think so unless you apply a theme but the new one is better!

My LG Class 6 8GB card (£13) came this morning too \m/

cheers, saw some others for £12 which say class 6

I Went a 16 as I only transfer files occasionally and would rather capacity, or really small files, 2mb per second is fine for me

mrk · 8 May 2010 at 16:06

Aye that's perfectly fine but for me 2MB/sec vs 9MB/sec write was enough to go class 6

someone post a youtube video link of someone downloaded and installed something on desire to change the look of all program layout, what was it?

Nexus One launcher?

Helix 2 Launcher is the same but adds more features and a docklet next to the launcher button.

Khaaan!, what phone did you have before this, and how do you compare it? (As you seem to be a bit of an enthusiast)

I'm sure that many other guys here are just as much an enthusiast lol but yeah I had a magic and thought it was brilliant for what it was. Obviously the desire is much better

PinkFloyd · 8 May 2010 at 16:30

Gave in and just bought one..... Do I really need to leave it to charge for 6-12 hours like they told me before doing anything with it?
