Sense UI And Friend Stream

---

Really pleased with my deal, T-Mobile UK, £15 a month, 600 minutes, unlimited internet, unlimited texts, and free phone for 18months contract.

Thought I would share that with you first as I'm REALLY impressed with that deal! (been with them over 5 years now mind!)

I had a quick question, as I've been using an iPhone and switching over. . . The friend stream and things like that, can they be changed to say a dedicated twitter application and dedicated facebook application. I dont generally use them in conjunction with each other and was just curious.

Also, the app space was a bit of a concern for me. Is the 119mb that is available really enough? I'm used to installing a lot of apps with the iPhone and just wondering what others experiences where with it...

Thanks guys!

To answer one of your question below: YES!

You dont have to install that FriendStream widget (I wont!).

You can find dedicated Facebook app, for example from Facebook.com itself:

I prefer to access via web browser

There are coupld of twitter clients, you might search it here:

And it is only $2

Ah so each individual screen is a widget. That makes sense now.

Its good to know that. I like the individual applications on the iphone and got used to that. I'm just hoping the native applications will be as good as the iphone's (i used twitteriffic and the native facebook app).

They are the main things I use it for (Guess its a bit sad! lol).

Cant wait to get my hands on it on tuesday and have a play with it!

if you use just facebook, you can install the FriendsStrem and use facebook only with it you dont have to sign in/have twitter, or other things .. that is if like the widget itself.

if you like to use normal applications (not widgets) than there are separate apps for them (and i believe Desire comes ships with them, Facebook app and peep "for twitter")

I was thinking of trying that but the friendstream just for twitter as I dont know how much information that it updates (new pictures etc).

With the applications do they have to be downloaded using the phone itself, or can they be downloaded and installed from the memory card? Not too the memory card, but if i downloaded them on my computer somehow...

I'm still trying to read up about the android OS and how it works.

Glad i've learned how to sync my gmail contacts accross for when i get it! That will save a lot of time entering numbers.

Got my phone this morning and the friend stream is AMAZING. Means that you can view all updates and when you lick on one it takes you to the native application.

I Think I love this phone! haha.

Your Desire should have official facebook app and Peep (Twitter Client) pre loaded... Mine did...

Must say though I do like the friends stream!

Yeah it came with them! After reading some reviews on the applications i honestly didnt think hat they would be as good as the iphone, and after switching from a 3GS I can say that this is a LOT faster doing things, from web browsing to loading applications and photos.

Everything just scrolls so smoothly. I'm sure this is a dream! haha

FYI.. there are a lot of Facebook and Twitter apps on the market and believe the following are the best off...

Facebook

Official App
Bloo
Babbler

Twitter

Twidroid
Seesmic

I believe you should be able to see all these on the market...

yeah, is it ok that im in england and any prices are displayed in $ ?

Seems a bit odd!
