[neutronium]

Hi all

Dont you just like being the noob on the block, asking stupid questions?

I have been excited about getting into the world of andriod, and rooting.

Got a used desire in the post on its way to me, got a new sim posted too.

Then that deflated feeling. Checking the invoice, i see its OS is windows

6.5.

Does this mean iam goosed? As in rooting the phone and installing the

latest Android OS.

Living in hope Neut

if its os in windows 6.5 its not a desire.

Wait you ordered something and then you looked at the details? Hmmm far as WM6.5 goes I had it for 3hours before I flashed WM6.5.X base 29XXX as I am sure they are up to COM5+ now, the good ol days :O

if its os in windows 6.5 its not a desire.

Maybe he order fake Chinese clone?

Looks genuine and windows 6.5 to me

 

[dannylill1981]

i stand corrected, although it still could be chinese clone, if you look at the details it has an analogue tv tuner and the accessories are not HTC ones thats a fake desire my friend. The cpu isnt the same either read the specifications....... as far as i am aware no desire ever came with an analogue tv tuner, a;so no cd is included with the desire, all the software is on the memory card. looking at the pics a bit closer where the earpiece is the desire has little silver ringlets in the holes that one does not, its all in the details........

thats definately a fake.

[Casual Pete]

Also if you look at the box it clearly shows it running Android and HTC Sense.

Hope you get your money back.

 

[neutronium]

Glad i joined now.

Update is.
Got an immediate refund. So splashed out a little extra for a genuine desire,running 2.2 from a htc retailer, with warrenty........

So will be avidly checking the forum from now on.

Thanks all to replied, you saved me from being ripped off, it truely is caveat emptor.

 

[dannylill1981]

no worries my friend, and enjoy your desire !

The optical trackpad looks all wrong. That'd be the only way I would have been able to tell from pictures alone.

Description is the giveaway, what's a G7?

The earpiece is wrong too. Also, if you look at another desire, the shape where the light metal meets the button panel is all wrong too.


G7 is simply a desire. Its nothing to do with anything.

Edit> oh and the LED appears to be in the top very left corner of the black screen surround, where on the desire, it is half way between teh corner and the logo.

 

[dannylill1981]

these fakes are pretty close to the original its getting harder to tell.....
