What is that Calendar widget? Part of LauncherPro or a seperate widget?

It's pure calendar widget (agenda) with the HTC Sense skin @ €1.49.

Although you can scroll within the HTC calendar widget, this one is so much faster and more configurable.

On my phone I if i go to contacts, press menu and click import contacts it will try and get them from the SIM, not sure how this works though because I've never used it.

You can Export the contacts from sim to SD, then import them onto the phone from the SD?

On the Desire?

How do I get voice to text to work on the Desire? I press the mic button and it does nothing, holding it down takes me to the settings. Do I need to be rooted?

You need to install the voice search apk if you haven't already. I haven't got a link to hand at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it's been covered in here at some point.

If not there's a thread on it at XDA-Dev forums if you look for something related to HTC IME Mod.

I meant in terms of the phone itself like its not rubbish its actually a nice,well made phone and if its one of his options and the desire is not there then the Legend is still very good.

So you meant to say it is nearly as good as the Desire?

Biz.Kid09 · 24 May 2010 at 21:57

Yes basically lol and tbh i havent read or used a desire but judging on opinions here its good so i was merely saying the Legend is a good phone and 'Nearly' as good as the Desire

Mazeoid (pacman clone) and Zimly (media player) are both worth checking out. The UI in Zimly is great.

Can someone point me towards swype? The one i have says trial is finished.

Flash on Froyo works well on miniclip games but is waaaay to jerky for iplayer

Kreeeee · 24 May 2010 at 23:04

Zimly seems to have a very basic UI.

Yup. Have the voice to text thing installed aswell

DiG · 25 May 2010 at 08:59

Anyone know of a good personal finance app with a destop/browser part to it? Or perhaps one that syncs with another desktop program?

Real shame we can't use Mint over here!

Have you downloaded the flash app from the market or the one that came with Froyo? The newest Flash release has to be downloaded from the Market.

Flash doesn't come with Froyo, it can only be downloaded from the market

Yeah - hold down in the text box and "Input Mehod" appears - I select HTC_IME Mod, but after that pressing the Microphone button does nothing unless i hold it down which then brings up the options menu.

Tad annoying!
