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.
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
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
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 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.

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!!!
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 =)
omgomg im gettin my desire tomorrow if them dudes get it posted today! must have it tomorrow!! cant friggin wait and im also gettin 16gb microsdhc class 6. YAY
i already love my desire lol. byebye iphone
