    I bought a couple of these and apart from one spec of dust under the screenprotector on mine the gel casing is perfect - great fit and cut in all the right places - I HATE pouches, especially as the ones I have seen blocked the LED activity light on the front...

    Still going to get some USB cables and a couple of charging docks me thinks

    And now I've just been called by them to tell me that there's been a cock-up at the warehouse and I'm not going to be getting one until the end of next week at the earliest. No idea if that applies to everyone or if I just didn't make it into today's batch...

    Ah you're not the only one! Mines still on backorder with Expansys, should have bought it from Amazon when they were in stock! lol.

    At least expansys has been kind enough to give me an exact date

    Call them up and tell them it's totally unacceptable and you're leaving. Odds are you'll get a discount

    Re: The Official HTC Desire Thread

    Just installed Google Earth on my Orange HTC Desire. It has been flashed (NOT rooted!) to a slightly more newer and generic ROM from HTC.

    1) Download and install Astro File Manager on your Desire
    2) Download this
    3) Connect your Desire to the computer, and drop the above APK file somewhere on your SD card.
    4) Safely disconnect the Desire from the computer
    5) Now on your Desire navigate to your SD Card using Astro File Manager
    6) Find where you dropped the APK and tap it, then select open app manager, and then tap Install.
    7) Google Earth is now installed, enjoy

    Re: The Official HTC Desire Thread

    @Singh400 - I havent got mine yet but surely Google Earth is available on the marketplace without having to flash a new rom and install the app manually?

    Not for the owners of the HTC Desire on Orange apparently. I search the app market lots of times, I couldn't find it.
