So that means you bought it?

sure did, having a bit of trouble connecting with the computer, but have managed to download kies, same as windows media center, that can import all my files but they are all over the place, so i need a better way to get the music on board, still working on that.

Hmph. For mine you plug it into the USB cable, then it will ask on the phone if you want to use it as a usb storage or something. Then you can use it as a USB stick. As to organising your music. Not so sure. You can use different programs, there is even a itune rip off if thats what you really want.

Kies might not allow this though^^ not sure

I love my HTC Desire!

That is all.

Thought I would re-open this thread as for me it's upgrade time

Can't decide between the HTC Sensation or the Galaxy S II

Anyone had experience of either??

I had a HTC magic when they first appeared a couple of years ago and loved it, 18 months later I upgraded to a HTC Desire HD, even better. It's s bit big and battery usage as on most smart phones can be disappointing, but it is a mini 1ghz pocket computer, pda, satnav after all. Will print wireless too.

Invest in a Case-mate though case and screen protector too, about £15 from Play.

I got the galaxy s2, it's a brill phone lovely big clear bright screen, Kies, samsungs version of itunes is a bit of a pain, but i'm getting the hang of it now. comes with satnav built in, works ok, one thing the first couple of days the battery was running down pretty quickly, but after a full charge last night got home today and it had only used one third battery at the most, so things are looking up there. All in all i'm happy, and i had a 3gs befor, mrs has that now, and of course flash vids are not a problem, nor setting any tune to have as a ringtone or alarm. Oh yeah and it has 10.5 gig usable on the phone and will accept mini sd cards up to i believe 32 gig, hth, andy, oh and as above it will sync wirelessly and print etc etc + 1 gig dual core, win win.

I have had a desire for the last 15 months. Its not a bad phone at all. My main gripe with the HTC phones is the screens seem to have gone SLCD, which is pretty sub standard for screens. They also seem to enjoy trying to get away with the smallest battery possible!

Sense is nice to be fair but they arnt very happy to keep phones upto date with new sense. My phone if I hadnt rooted and put a different ROM on would still be on the original one even though a newer sense came out with the DHD about 4 months after. Course Samsung isnt a huge amount better with that but they seem to have released Gingerbread for some Galaxy S phones so are still a little better there.

Hardware wise the Galaxy S2 will destroy the sensation. Same speed CPU but the Galaxy s2's seems to be much more powerful from what I have seen of using and benchmarks. The screen will look much better, the Galaxy s is lighter and has more RAM and internal memory.

Put it this way, its looking pretty certain that in the next month when my upgrade comes up its 95% certain to be the SGS2 ill be getting

Cool glad you like it. Kies Air looks mental good. Dunno if that might help with setting it up more than the crappy software plug in thing?

Well looks like I am gonna have to wait another 90 days. Vodafone don't seem interested in doing me a decent deal so I will wait till the contract ends and take a new contract out with someone else.

There will probably be 5 more phones released in that time lol

If you contact buymobilephones.net they may be able to help you.

If you don't mind moving operators, then they may be able to find a deal where you get cashback that covers the remainder of your contract.
