Desier/One vs iPhone

It will be send back in a box or replace instore - depends on the operators setup. Failure rate for phones is pretty low if it eases your mind.
 
How is the email on the HTC desire ? is it similar to the blackberry or the iphone ? like would you get the email straight away or would it check every 15min like the iphone ?

That entirely depends on your type of email server.

Gmail push is supported, HTC Mail supports various other formats.
 
See i could get around the problem by just getting insurance for the phone really...
Mere hours away from this new iPhone annoucement, then its decision time i think.:p (just hope its done before 8 so i can get the Desire ordered and delivered for tomorrow then! :p)
 
Still though, I think it would be a shock if the new Apple OS offered a great deal more than the current one does.

(If for some reason it's a massive turnaround and they go all out open source style, I'll have to sell some of my older phones and get one :p)

I'm almost certain it will just be similar to now and they'll just blow the multi-tasking out of proportion!

What's HTCs support like btw? For example, if my iPhone breaks, I take it to an Apple shop, Job done.
Can I expect the antiquated old methods that'd require me to send it to my operator and wait for it to be fixed?

A downside of not having a manufacturer on the high street.

Its not really antiquated TBH. Apple's method is not something fancy, its just a shop repairing/replacing a product that it manufactures....

HTC, for example, dont have shops you can pop into....
 
IPhone 4

11:41AM "Pricing -- there's two colors. White and black. Pricing -- $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB."

is that the offline price..?
 
Underwealmed tbh.
Dont get me wrong, it looks nice, but apart from the marginally higher res screen and the front camera, what does it do that the Desire doesnt?

Managed to negotiate a good deal out of 02 too:
18month/600mins/unlimited txts/unlimited internet/insurance/free Desire = £35.50

Decisions decisions....:p

Personally I think its a good upgrade that puts the iphone back on top.

That's your opinion, it's quite clear like a lot of the other people in that thread, you would have taken a 3GS with just a new case and nothing else :p

That is the contract price, PAYG is going to be WELL over £500 by the looks of things, it confused me too.

I think it was pretty obvious that no matter what was said today that robboftw would have posted the same thing. :)

Not really, I was hoping it would be good and I was quite prepared to get one, but it's a poor upgrade in my opinion. Just like the 3GS was for the 3G :)

What makes you think I'd take a re-cased 3gs? this is a totally new phone with a lot of new hardware features that users wanted. Regardless of what Apple announced you would have had the same opinion.

From whats been said the iphone 4 take the price point currently occupied by the 3gs so current prices should remain.

Thats absolutely brilliant. I wish I'd picked O2 now.

And I cannot see any way they can tell whether you are tethering, either, though obviously P2P is probably detectable.

If you tether you will most likrly using IE, Firefox or Chrome, I would guess they can check which browser calls the sites you are using and log it that way.

If you want to browse the Android App store look at this

And so would you :)

I was not impressed by the 4G, although it does look a nice device, dont get me wrong. It just needed to be better in my opinion, given the speed that HTC are trying to race ahead with everything and are spam releasing phones (I'm not saying that's a good thing either).

I agree with what BoomAM said (who is clearly sitting on the fence), it was "underwhelming", not bad.

What were you hoping would be different exactly? I'm intrigued. The only thing I'd possibly prefer would be a slightly more open OS, but then there are plenty of ways around that anyway.
 
To me it wasn't... then again I didn't expect anything earth shattering the phones specs were pretty much know in advance. Its as much of an upgrade as the desire was to the hero.

Yes it doesn't do much that a desire can't do but then again a desire doesn't do much a 3gs can't do, thats the way things are these days little steps to once again gain the lead
 
Slightly more open?

Not really a wise choice of word there :p

What ways around that are there on iPhone? Jailbreak? Doesn't that limit your future updates and if found out by Apple you're bricked/voided?
