Can't believe a thread hasn't been made for Android phones yet
Anyone else own an Android based handset? What do you think?
I have the HTC Desire, absolutely love it and very glad I waited a little to get it, was considering the Nexus One, but the Desire blows it out of the water. Currently waiting on the 2.2 Froyo software update to be launched on T Mobile, unlocked handsets have had it for a couple of weeks now, lucky sods

I had a sim free desire with 2.2 but decided to cross the waters to land of doom and gloom, now own an iPhone 4.
The desire was a great phone and had may great features, froyo made some great improvement to the system.
I'm always changing my phone though

The impending arrival of 2.2 makes my head spin and my toes curl. I simply cannot wait. Seeing how you've owned both the Desire and iPhone 4, which do you prefer? (Not including 3rd party apps in your assessment) but simply as a piece of hardware.
See if this prompts a phone war.Intel i7 930 | Nvidia GTX 560ti AMP! | ASUS P6X58D-E | 6GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 | Corsair H50 Water Cooling | Corsair TX650 PSU | Xigmatek Utgard

Honestly, the desire was a great phone but on the hardware front I prefer the iPhone 4 regardless of the signal issue and apps installed.
I know I'll get stick for this but it is a great phone but so is the desire.If you found my post helpful then click the REP star

Im Horribly Jealous of you chaps,
Been waiting almost a month for my Desire, curse you t-mobile! *shakes fist at sky* (alleged stock problems)
I've always liked the iphone and adore the look of the 4th gen, but miss the "fiddleability" that winmob phones gave me, so hopefully Androids a bit of a halfway house. At least Ive stuck with HTC.
Also, the contract and cost of the iphone4 are just prohibitive, for a pauper like me. In fact the desire was my birthday treat to myself.
Ive been lucky enough to have a fiddle with a mates desire, and I'm mightily impressed.
All I need is a fully working version of angband (and the bloody phone!) and I'll be one happy technobunny.

I'm an Avid mobile phone freak, right now I have a Samsung Galaxy S, a Desire and a N900 and Iphone 3GS, have to say the Galaxy S is better than the iphone and faster!
they're roughly the same size anyway and ofcourse Android is the future
I'll be getting the Desire HD when it's out here, don't know when, been busy looking at PCs

hello there,
Ive been using my desire for around a month now, and am very happy indeed.
My only beef, is the lack of decent/deep games (strategy/rpg) that one could get on winmob. Ipones et al also have this issue.
My girlfriend has a 3gs Iphone and in comparision, although the interface isn't as slick as apples device I'd rather have the desire.
Also, Iphones are so damn common now. Almost the equivalent of the "tramp stamp" in tattoos. So its nice to have something a litttle different.
Its performance is nice and snappy and as a phone is groovy.
Multimedia is good too, although you'll have to hunt down other movie player apps, rather than the native one to view most common formats.
Its not the most powerful android phone out there, but its one of the best looking. I'd heartily recommend it.
Im hoping android takes off, it could be a very interesting platform indeed.
