OMG I love my Desire Thread

I'm selling me Hero when my Desire arrives (Handtec gets stock tomorrow, I hope they ship mine out by 9am). I also love it even though I haven't received it yet, which probably means I'm building it my expectations too high. If I was coming from an iPhone then yes, it's a big jump, but not so much from a Hero.

Yes, "me" Hero. I'm British. *Not* English.
 
Well I was a solid Nokia user of some 14 years (since the first Nokia on Orange). Never been tempted away, and never had any interest in an Iphone (too much telling me what I need/want)

UNTIL....

Mrs got her Galaxy Portal. I needed an Android fix, so got a stop gap Hero and retired my N96 to a trade in firm. Was loving how much quicker and smoother the hero was to use. Been using if for over a month, loving android to bits.

Then my real love the Desire was collected in-store last Thursday. It blows the Hero (as above still a great phone) away!

All the iphoners I've shown you can see want one, but still try and say they wouldnt swap theirs for the world. BS! I caught a few of them eyeing up pricing on the Desire soon after!
LOL
 
It thought Great Britain = England, Wales, Scotland

United Kingdom = Great Britain + Northern Ireland

anyways... I digress... ;)

Don't want to digress further but this is how I've always had it defined in my head, however it turns out it's not as exact as I thought it was and there's no actual proper definition if I recall correctly... :)

Aaaaaand, back on topic, I love my Desire before it's even come, thanks to these forums for all the tips etc. and, also, a friend's got his today and has boosted my expectations further :p
 
You're pretty much right, Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain but we are officially referred to as British - I think purely because saying "UKish" sounds silly. (Of course many here consider us to be Irish which is a complicated issue.)
 
I live in Belgium and have preordered my desire. Waiting for the call that they had my phone in stock was been easy so far. But today I found out another shop just got their supply!

I can't wait now.. I want my desire :o
 
I placed my order yesterday hoping it will come sometime this week.

I did manage to have a go on one yesterday in the CarPhoneWarehouse. It was pretty stunning I must admit, the only thing I fear is that the lightning quick pace will slow considerably once I fill it with apps ala my Hero.

You are correct. The full title is "United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland" but that can be a bit of a mouthful and the acronym of UKOGBANI isn't the best either.

Anyway, I am "English"

Nope, I loaded all the apps i had on my hero and this is still blazingly fast. With my Hero i could get up to 70M of memory free using a task killer. But it would drop down to 30 in like 5 mins. Current memory on my Desire with no task killer is 140M, just killed tasks and its gone over 200M

And I have a lot of widgets and exclued apps from being killed!!! :D
 
Thank you antipesto93 and lekky, that is extremely reassuring. I do try to keep any relatively "Unecessary" apps on my hero to a minimum but it will be nice to have the option of having them and speed at the same time =)
 
Well yours will be even faster (i'm not sure its possible tbh) as i have maxed out my memory with apps.
 
omgomg im gettin my desire tomorrow if them dudes get it posted today! must have it tomorrow!! cant friggin wait:D and im also gettin 16gb microsdhc class 6. YAY
