Default First impressions!!!

OMG, my iphone is seriously going in the bin, this is a different breed of phone in every way, I have just done a 10 min video of A2DP working perfect in my car, the iphone only has partial A2DP so you can't change tracks, pause or adjust volume on the stereo itself this to me was a killer

The Desire just pairs and go's, it's smooth with multiple applications open and scrolling is exactly the same as the iphone, I love the bookmarks page so I can see the website i am visiting like suggested sites in IE8, the music player is as good as my Iphone and my iphone holder in the car even fits the desire nicely so I can watch woops i mean my passengers can watch videos while driving or parked up.

So far i have had little exposure but the experience is very iphoney and this is a good thing as the iphone is smooth as silk and so is this, I will post the video up here in 5 mins, its 600mb so need to compress it and whack it on youtube

Happy days!

Hey there,

Looking forward to the video! Just wanted to say I've been my Desire for a few hours now and it has been growing on me. I think I have it customized the way I like but that will probably change by tomorrow. I'm still getting used to the keyboard but it is very responsive, what really wins it for me is the web performance especially on WiFi.

I'm typing this right now on the desire and it just seems to scream through everything. Will post more impressions soon.

Yeah screams through everything is an understatement, I only had an iphone 3g but loading up all the pictures on this site used to take approx1 min, now it's instant.

I find the keyboard slightly smaller than the iphones so the keys are narrower, think my fingers are a bit too chubby and need to get used to a new keyboard haha..

Yes, so my whole music collection is streamed over bluetooth to the stereo, this is called A2DP and something the iphone could not do properly, even my old N95 was fine but you cannot change tracks on the unit itself when using the iphone.

if you got vista or windows 7 download windows movie maker as it has a setting for youtube. just load the video and click on the youtube icon. type in discription and it does the rest in about 20 (that decoding etc and uploading)
