Sorry but that is truly awful. Force closes with the sound on, and it's impossible to shoot someone without moving towards them and dying :/
me too, i was trying to get the update to chromemarks and it bombed, i then 'uninstalled' market updates taking me down to an older version, how do i reupdate it?
Not a clue. Just set down to customize the bloody phone for the first time also. Sods law

Same for me. Tried loads of things to get it working again, all to no avail. Really annoying!
Whats the install? Flash the zip?

Put it somewhere on your memory card and then install it with a file manager such as Astro or the one included on certain roms.
Or just browse my post from your phone and click the link to install directly from the browser.
I have also found a better file manager than ASTRO (as in it works with Bluetooth sending and has a more convenient UI). It doesn't have the app manager like ASTRO but most people have MyBackup or Titanium for app backups anyway so this isn't an issue for most.

I'm very very very impressed with the HTC Desire now.
On Friday I was rushed to hospital, and in the evening I came home as as I was getting out of the car I forgot my missus Desire was on my lap and it fell out... straight into a bloody drain! I heard a 'plop' and it was gone. I could see a light really far down underwater, and amazingly the bluetooth was still connected to the car so I went to get something to try and get it. Unfortunately the drain was so deep the phone ended up going to the bottom under about 3 foot of sludge and leaves so I gave up for the day.
Yesterday I was feeling better so I decided to give it another go and got hold of a long net and after about 30 goes and a massive pile of leaves and sludge later I managed to find it! I was mainly worried about getting some photos/videos off the SD card from our son's first visit to the swings etc and after putting it in the sun for a bit, it worked! I was so relieved and this showed me what a huge advantage removable storage is compared to my old iPhone where I once lost a load of pics.
Anyway it doesn't stop there, I tried the battery (after drying it) and it seems to work perfectly! Great news.
But it still doesn't stop there - I put the Desire underneath the sun, then a lamp, then in the airing cupboard over night, then the sun all morning and all sign of any condensation had been gone since last night. I was a bit impatient and thought I'd give it a go, not expecting it to work but I pressed the button then the HTC sign appeared
, then the Android animation appeared , then the home screen appeared!! Not only that but EVERYTHING is working, camera, touch screen, mic, earpiece, wifi, bluetooth - I expected at least something to be broken! When I recovered the phone it had so much water in it that it looked like a lava lamp. If you look closely you can see dried watermarks on the inside of the glass screen so I may take it to bits and clean those off at some point.
As I said, very very impressed.
tldr; I dropped an HTC desire into a deep and muddy drain, found it waterlogged 2 days later and it worked perfectly after drying it out.

nice story buddy, hope it continues to work
I Signed up. Don't have any problems with data roaming that I can tell. Where I am 3G is equally as slow for T-Mobile as it is for Orange
Anyone using OD managed to remove the built-in YouTube app and be able to install the one from Market? I've not done S-OFF, but I think it can still be done from recovery - any ideas?
EDIT: Grrr. Done a "adb shell rm -f /system/app/YouTube.apk" when in recovery with no errors. What more is there to do?

You can remove youtube from the ROM zip file, disable signature verification before flashing in recovery.
S-OFF - Follow thelink I posted before. There a splash util out that changes boot anim/splash but S-OFF needs to be enabled first!

Can it not be removed without reflashing the whole ROM?

Guys, is there a way to BLOCK a mobile number from ringing/texting you?
I think i'm being spammed by what looks to be a legit caller, but could easily be a bot i guess.
I thought android phones could do this without the need to contact my service provider.
