My desire S came out the box with android 2.3 although in the main that is hidden under the HTC skin. It is the first phone I have ever owned/rented etc. so slowly learning how to drive it and do things my company issue nokia cannot do.

It must be my oversized fingers but several times I have found myself dialing the number above/below the contact I thought I had pressed, the same with the keyboard, I occasionally get adjacent keys. Apps however seem quite reliable if sometimes quirky but I guess that is down to the programmer.

What I did discover is that if I leave 3g and gps turned on, it eats the battery. Music on the 32gb card is ok, but again the player out the box is not quite what I would want so might be going looking for something better.

Interesting on apps I need satnav. I "acquired" a copy of co pilot. Might be OK for the car. but useless on a bike as the headphone socket is not supported, it is so quiet you cannot hear it above 10mph. So now trying N drive.
