HTC Desire S

[NaNaNiii]

Just ordered a HTC Desire S on a 24 month contract It's my 1st touchscreen smart phone (I had a sony ericsson W995 Before) so im pretty new to android. Does anyone recommend any apps or games for the desire s? Also another thing. The screen is apparently covered with Gorilla Glass. Does that mean that it's scratch proof and i wont need to put a screen protector on it??? Thanks

Gorilla glass is scratch proof but don't expect it not to mark if you abuse it. If you work in a very dusty environment or tend to just chuck in beside keys and the like then a good quality screen protector is a must, brick fragments are the worst being hard small and very sharp

If you feel it's a bit slow try downloading Go Launcher.

For fun there's a tricorder app, just don't know where you get it from. Try the market place first.

htc are a great , and you can use any network cannot be locked

on and off topic , i got an archos tablet get my apps here AppsLib. The Android Market for Android Tablets | Android Tapp. Android App Reviews can they be used on the htc or other android phones coz there's a lot for free

This is only true if the phone is SIM Free. That means you had to of picked it up from Carphone Warehouse, phones 4 u, etc.
If the phone came direct from the network or one of their shops, the phone will be locked.

Sorry Tricorder fans, Tricorder has been deleted from the Android Market by Google, at the demand of CBS's legal weasels. This all happened without any discussion or warning -- I was simply notified after the fact.

Since I don't have legal weasels of my own, or the time to deal with this, that's it for Tricorder.

It's apparently the graphical design that's at issue, not the name. According to Wikipedia, "Gene Roddenberry's contract included a clause allowing any company able to create functioning technology to use the name". Now that GR is dead, I guess CBS believes they own swoopy curves.

This is the notification I got:

Strange. Since I posted the tricorder recomendation I've upgraded to an Android phone.
The first app I downloaded from the market place was the tricorder. This was only 3 weeks ago.
