        nick, 21 Aug 2011i am currently using the htc wildfire... i m fed up of this... moremultiple task killers??have you gone insane dude...sorry no offense....but first of all uninstall all the task killers/managers....trust me i xperimented over the effectiveness of task killers for a long time now on some different devices...Android phones are far better off not using a task killer....If you dont feel like believing me,google it yourself to find so many articles that say NO to task killers..The only app(atleast the one im sure installed on every android) you have to look at is the official facebook app...it is a cpu n battery hog...So keep an eye on it..And CPU usage % is what affects your phone performance n battery backup but NOT RAM or the amount of free RAM..

          If u like photography go for incredible s because the only difference between desire s and incredible s is the camera and screen size. And you need not worry about the performance of desire s or incredible s, they're pretty awesome

              Battery would probably last around 20 to 24 hours.

              Just last month I got an update on my phone and I noticed an improvement on my battery life. I can get through the day without charging twice with moderate use. I have unlimited internet on my HTC desire s and its hard to stop tinkering, haha.

              As far as I know you won't have any problems in terms of gaming. Just recently finished Zenonia2 with this phone. :)

                  my s8500 wave is already showing its age. is the desire s a worthy upgrade? and the jump from bada to android (my 1st android phone if ever) is it worth it? your honest feedback will be most appreciated

When I access all the applications the phone hanged up and I can't even restart it manually. After a few minutes, the phone automatically restarts and won't boot up properly.

                    I will bring my phone back to Smart today and I hope they can replace it with another unit.

                              AnonD-10882, 18 Aug 2011thanks for your reply it was very usefull....i want a phone... moredude u cant get all the specs u ve mentioned in one handset as every smartphones got some drawbacks.
                              Desire s is a very good handset if u consider games, camera, Build quality, UI and web browsing. If ur main concern is in some other specs like sound quality and battery back-up then theres other handsets.
                              But keep in mind that all android smartphones got a habit of draining the battery a way too soon

But if u want good sound through its inbuild speaker then go for SONY ERICSSON NEO as ARC is very highly priced (considering its specs).
                                And regarding battery, it totally depends on ur usage style as all android smartphones consumes lotsa battery.
