AnonD-7748, 05 May 2011can u please clarify about the video call option. can it be... moreNo .. Video calling is not straight forward .. it is not similar to symbian (directly from 3g network).. You need to do video through some application like fring, tango , etc.. This is something disappointing one.. I recently bought HTC Desire S. and tried to do video calling through 3G. and got disappointed..

        Been Using the Phone for a week.. So far i have no complains i do recommend this phone to all.

        Pros:

        - Fast Web Browser In fact Desire S is one of the few android phone's that can play full HD video inside it's browser.

        - Battery Life stand's 2 days of normal usage.. 2 hrs. phone call every day messaging, email and aound 1 hr. of wifi using.

        - no sign of paint shedding ( i do believe it depends on the phone you have purchased )

        - Video play is great specially the SRS feature of the phone 2 thumbs up!

        - music play is also awesome because of its built in equalizer. and great music interface.

        - cool unibody design feels sexy and solid in your hands.

        - SLCD is good view angles are perfect.

        - Call quality is great earpiece speaker is very loud, back speaker is just average.

        - Touch screen is very sensitive

        - No lags, can surf the web , listen to music, push emails , go online in IM's at the same time with no problem.

        - HD recording is good for 720p

        - Camera is average 5mp but it shoots ok.

        - Fast Boot is AWESOME!.. powering the phone off and
        when you power it up back it will only take 2-4 sec. you can fully use the phone. ( just dont remove the battery )

        Cons:

        - No 3g video call for the meantime, can only use it using fring, skype or YM video calls or other 3rd party app's but i dont mind it.

        - Wifi death grip does not happen all the time it depends on how you hold the phone. i have notice if it will drop i will only lose 1 bar of signal in wifi.

        - some complains there is a light leakage above the soft keys. mine is just ok.

        overall experience its a great phone and it's currently 3rd place in top 20 android phone's in the world!..

              I recently bought a HTC Desire and I have been trying to set up HTC Sense (htcsense.com). I have gotten to the part where i must sign into HTC Sense from my phone in the Setup App. There is no HTC Sense area in this app - and i cant complete my Sense setup without it!

              i have tried to log in from the Internet browser on the phone. Does nothing.

                        Great device. Solidly built and runs fast. Love the design, way better than the Galaxy S.

                        I own a Galaxy S and Desire S and the Desire S is the better handset.
