    HTC Wildfire vs Desire

    Hi,I got an HTC Wildfire for my wife, it's screen is nowhere near as good as my HTC Desire and smaller too.
    The Desire does need charging everyday, the Wildfire needs charging twice a week, neither of us leave wifi or bluetooth on all the time.
    I was very skeptical about Android phones (always had Nokia), I got my HTC Desire last June and it's the best phone I have ever had, everyone who has seen it loves it too, my brother has now bought an HTC desire after seeing it and so has our local Peugeot delivery driver.
    I use Windows XP at work and Mac OSx/Windows 7 at home, I want something different on my phone and I am very pleased with the amount of free software available in the Android market.

    Hope that helps

      been told it is but can't verify it
      No, the HTC HD2 is not the desire, it is a windows phone, but it and a few others use the same (excellent) processor, the 1Ghz snapdragon.
      ~~~~ the windows shite, and ~~~~ the apple shite... Android is the boy... and if anyone doesn't agree.. then your in denial.

      As regards battery life, it depends what you do.. when I first got mine I was messing all the time, now the novelty has worn off, it can easily last two or three days, and I NEVER turn off Wi-Fi or GPS. I rarely use bluetooth, so that is off.

      There are tips for getting the best out of a battery, ie charging and draining fully a few times.. google that yourself for more info.

                This thread is a bit old now.

                I now have a previsoly enjoyed HTC Touch2. Windows phone

                Did manage to get a shat nav programme working "IGO8" - a lot eaiser
                to 'fiddle' than tomtom. But killed it by accidnet - JUST need to edit
                "sys.txt" - will share when i figure it out again - if that is easy but a pig to work out.

                THIS MIGHT NOT WORK, but *HOPING* to use the ELM327 Bluetooth
                Pocket PC programme, so i can go round putting out engine lights in parking lots.

                No messing around for laptop to boot - look on DK using the wireless internet whilst pretending to look at a costomers car.

                Found this the other day, but will have to join using a fictious name as
                "Meat-Head" is taken as is "Meat-Head II, III IV" etc etc.

                Learn what it means if you have an older version of Windows that's no longer supported.


                APPARTNLY you can use the HTC to decode reanult radio's
                (hint hint hint) perhaps somebody could upload how to do it. (BIGGER HINT)

                With insctuctions for thick people. (And leechers)

                Thanks
                Meat

                              The galaxy s 3 looks the best out there and should be out before July. I have my name down on the t mobile waiting list, they have said it should be first week in June.
