Things that i like and hate about htc Desire.

After switching over to Android from iPhone was a bit tough for me. Android, at first, was difficult to navigate and/or approach to applications but that washed away after little use. I am quite happy with the overall package Desire provides although there are some holes that needs to be covered. I hope the new OS (2.3 gingerbread) does that. 

Right, lets move onto things that i like and dislike. 

Things that i dislike:

1. Not Stable:

It is not stable. I am not sure what is not. It could either be OS 2.2 Froyo or the applications themselve. Since im new to this whole android thing. I find it a bit disappointing when u look at the cost of the phone (400£) and compare it to iPhone 3G/3GS. iPhone's OS is 'alot' stable and faster than Android's. 

There have been numerous occasions where application just stopped working all of a sudden and i had to force close it. 

2. Battery Life

It sucks. If your going to stuff in all sorts of widgets, media player, browsing, games and camera in a phone. Why wont u fit it with a better battery? Phone keeps dying after every 7-8 hours of use. That really needs to be sorted out. 

3. Music Player:

Its just average. Nothing like iPod. 

Things that i like:

1. Home screens:

Ohh Joy, Probably the best thing about owning a desire is its home screens. Its soo much fun just going through them even if your not doing anything. U cud easily spend a day doing all sorts of stuff on it. You can increase or decrease the home screens according to your taste. The maximum number of screens are 7. 

This one have 6.

2. Customization:

Although the Android market is very small compared to iPhone's but that doesnt come into consideration when you start customizing your phone. There are awful lot of variety to chose from. Like for example, there are tons of different widgets that allows you to customize your weather/clock on homescreen. Widgets for docks, icons, wallpapers, battery, lock screen, quota usage, memory usage, music players, navigation and what not. 

Some of them completly changes the layout of your desire and the way it works.. Launcherpro Plus for example. It adds dock at the bottom and provides smooth and fast animations to your menu. 

Overall, the phone still has some problems but the overall package doesnt let you bother it.
