    I wouldn't bother with that Orange app, stick with 3G Watchdog - it's customisable to your contract and auto turns off mobile data when you reach a limit set by you.

    Battery life for me has been fine, basically full battery after a day of just texting. Keep the internet off and you'll last for ages

    Webz is all well and good, but it's a massive drain on your battery if you keep the internet on to sync your stuff all the time. If you can cope without email and location always on, just sync when you need to.

    To be honest, the internet on smartphones is something of a novelty for me. I don't spend my life on twitter and facebook so that "always-on" functionality is lost on me. I use it for those times when it's just stupendously handy to be able to get directions on the go, or look up opening times for some shop, etc. Short bursts of functionality

    Anyone tried the paid for national rail app?

    At £5 I decided to stick with the free one, and their website (nationalrail.co.uk)

    Your all a bunch of gits

    I'm sorting out my HTC Desire now from virgin as I already have their full package so adding a phone to this isn't going to be an issue.

    Re: The Official HTC Desire Thread

    Hope someone can help me ????

    I have had my phone for a few weeks now and I am very happy with it.

    I am looking for an app that allows me to have caller ID (picture) without having to use gmail, facebook etc.

    I have also purchased a case for the phone

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=360254555394

    looks very similar to the official HTC item but at a fraction of the cost.

    Re: The Official HTC Desire Thread

    Mine is saying "Low on phone storage" already.
    I have a 4gb Sd card in it, so is it just a case of moving apps and stuff around?

    Is there an app that lets me move stuff to the SD card?

    Great. So the only way I can do it is rooting the phone

    I thought phone companies would have had this already in place by now...

    Re: The Official HTC Desire Thread

    how many apps do you have on? big bits like gps maps are put on the SD card anyway and its only the core program that gets put on the phone - your not packing it with music or something are you?
