But if your phone is under guarantee still it breaks it and if anything goes wrong your liable for all repair costs.
I suggest you do what I intend to do and that is find an expert rooter and pay them that way if something goes wrong they are liable.
We should have nearly 400 MB more BUT HTC LIED ON THE BOX.

Dr enigma never said he/she was blind! So are you blind?
It would be helpful if you are blind would be helpful if would state so.

Musa, 22 Oct 2011Hi,bought this phone 4days ago.really cool but my question ... moreIt gets hot because of the battery and how bright you have the screen and ambient temperature. You will have to live with it or get a waterproof case like the GO one which makes waterproof but phone can be used then run under cold water when gets to hot.
In theory the phone should shut down before it gets to hot but what point this is I don't know I have had the phone at 45 degrees C and did not shut down.
YOU COULD ALWAYS COOK ON IT LOL

HTC seem to of forgot about the fact this happens if you have the screen locks on THEY SHOULD OF MADE IT STAY AWAKE WHILE IN A VOICE CALL.
INSTRUCTIONS
PRESS MENU
press settings
PRESS DISPLAY
then all screen functions are there
If you need anymore help just ask

Sun, 15 Oct 2011Thank you for your detailed reply. I appreciate it!Your most welcome.
I RECOMMEND THE DESIRE TO EVERYONE IT WAS AN £440 SIM FREE PHONE!
it won every phone of the year last year (no phone in history has done that before) and won the MOBILE INDUSTRY AWARDS 2011 PHONE OF THE YEAR, it beat the iphone 4 every time putting them into second place lol.
Don't worry we will get a decent gingerbread over the air. We are bashing them into it!
Best wishes with your new Desire.

Sun, 13 Oct 2011Since I only need a good phone, not the best in the market,... moreI find the camera works great and has a lot of pro features you would only find on a camera.
The video in the upgraded A8181 is HD making it twice as good as DVD.
The music player is great but relies on the quality of the actual recording which means some music is NOT very loud BUT THAT'S NOT THE PHONES FAULT that's the fault of the moron who recorded it! Rock, Opera and other types of loud music sound great but softer music can be quiet and then headphones or external speakers solves that problem.
Games that are 3D or HD are great and work wonderfully.
Screen is 480 x 800 super LCD (OLD VERSION WAS AMOLED AND NOT SO GOOD)
Radio works great too and you can get a digital version if want and you can also watch TV with an app and actual movies a 2 hour film takes app. 200MB which downloads to the SD card and the movies can be found on the market from free to £8 depending on the films copyright status.
The phone basically has a lot of features.

Sun, 13 Oct 2011Since I only need a good phone, not the best in the market,... moreThe phone is great nothing wrog with the phone!
IT'S THE BEST HTC HAS EVER MADE AND FROM THE NEW RUBBISH THEY ARE MAKING THEY WON'T MAKE AGAIN!
The problems are all related to what HTC gets upto and Google and that is the problem they are misfits.
I still would say go for it and you can buy it £140 cheaper now SIM free or even cheaper if you don't need freedom.
SPEED ETC.,
The phone is fast BUT the phone relies on networks it can't make a network go fast lol
So you now have the biggest problem of all NETWORKS AND THEIR AREA OF COVERAGE AND THEIR SPEED.
UK
NOT one network offers more than 3mbps so although the phone can run at speeds of 7.2mbps so let's hope they greedy networks will speed things up.
The other problem networks never mention is the fact that they can only handle upto 150,000 devices at any one time and if your 150,001 you are put on a holding system or get rubbish like the person you are trying to call is unavailable.
SO ALL THIS RUBBISH IS NOT THE DESIRES FAULT IT'S NETWORKS HTC AND GOOGLE ETC.,
The Gingerbread update that HTC released is NOT a stable version and you install at your own risks HTC states.
The NEW Android Magazine advice is DON'T USE HTC version its not worth the risks.
HTC DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY OUT OF GIVEN US A DECENT UPDATE IN FACT IT WOULD COST THEM MONEY SO THEY GIVE US RUBBISH!
My advice is YES to Desire and No to HTC gingerbread unless your an expert on such matters.
I hope this helps but feel free to ask anything.
THE DESIRE A8181 IS STILL THE BEST PHONE ON THE MARKET.
