I am on pay as you go (no idea of its simplicity, just a sim i bought a few months ago as my old sim wasnt 3g. The mobile internet doesnt work at all at the moment.

If you're pay as you go any chance to can copy your settings in the different APNS? (should be one for internet and one for mms *i think*), n ot sure about the passwords tho.

I have e-mails o2 to see what they say, but remains to be seen if i get a reply.

Three don't seem keen to budge from their 24 months contracts at all! and i'm not keen on taking one out but i like their network:mad: I thought he was gonna sort something out when i told him i found it on T-mobile on 18 months with a £60 phone charge which i didn't mind but he just offered me an N86 and then tried to push the Samsung galaxy on me again....
 
I received one of those matte anti-glare screen protectors today and applied it without any hassle at all.

Good:
- Super easy to apply, seems hard wearing.
- Washable, re-usable.
- Anti-glare does what it says and provides finger print free operation.
- Touch responsiveness is the same as it is without it.

Bad:
- Adds a grainy effect to the whole screen, most visible when reading websites and viewing light colours pictures.
- Grainyness twinkles when you move the screen at various angles.

Because of the one bad pointer I've binned it, still, was worth testing for the price they are :p

I'm not sure why but i have always been wary of using companies who aren't the company directly, am i being an idiot? I've heard the carphone warehouse do some ridiculous sale and even saw one myself where a friend rang up and said 'i want this phone, so many mins and text and unlimited texts and only want to pay this much plus a free ps3 and these 2 games' in short and they gave it him. Worth a go?
 
One for making calls and one to surf while in a call.

Makes sense no?!


















One is my dad's :p He copied me!
 
I've only once ever tried a screen protecter once and bubbles glare etc were rife and over 2 and a half years I only got one scratch, a crack or 2 but that was from impact
 
hey managed to sort the web out just had to change the address username and password.

Trying to test the mms but when i go to select and contact/search its blank, weird one, sure it was working earlier. Tying to send from the drafts folder. Maybe a bug.

Cheers for posting them comparison pictures, have made up my mind for me, and I'm not getting an anti-glare one for my Desire lol, that adds far too much of a grainy effect to the screen for my liking.

Ive had my anti glare screen protector on my Desire for about 2 weeks now...and its not that bad ie the grainy effect but then it depends on the quality of the screen protector...i have the boxwave one and its brilliant...definitely cuts down the glare and makes the screen much much more easier to navigate around ie more smoother...of course it has the grainy effect but im used to it now and it doesnt really detract from the quality of the screen imo.
 
Argh no my android settings widget has vanished? There's just a gap where the bar was and its not in the add to home menu anymore.. what's happened? Didn't do anything it just vanished while the phone was on and ice rebooted twice to no avail :(

Edit: found it was called power control.. no idea why it got removed though..

I WANT FROYO! What does sense give me over stock Android? I don't use friend stream as it annoyed me, so what are the key differences? With getting a froyo Rom instead of2.1 sense or waiting for froyo wig sense?
 
Using my Desire as my actual Internet at my Uni flat and it's current giving me 500kb/s! :D

Hey, i bought my unbranded/unlocked pay as you go Orange esire from CPW, sticking my o2 sim card in it (i pay £15 a month for web and texts <unlimited>).

Has anyone done this and got 3g internet, mms etc working. o2 won't let me download the settings. I'm assuming i'll have to set some APN's for these, but if anyones got some instructions that work that would be great ;)

Just choose "Mobile Web" settings in your network config, is what I did and it worked every second afterwards.

Mobile web won't be there because it was originally on Orange... some weird thing about switching carriers & o2 refusing to send the details to the phones. God knows why.

I bought a desire locked to t-mobile, put my o2 sim in and unlocked it... couldn't get the details for data.

Did a bit of searching... came up with this - http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=144262#144262

worked perfectly :)

Later on I flashed to the generic HTC ROM (gold card needed, not rooted) and then on first boot it picked up the o2 settings straight away.

Bizarre...
