            as a symbian user and using '3.5 screen do you android users find the screen size to be very uncomforting since it's alot bigger in your hand and pocket?
            Like 3.8,4.0 and 4.3 inch screen sizes

                    The camera update was needed as I've found the poor or lack of image stabilisation made the camera unusable.

                        Yeaaa,

                        HTC, the most important thing we are waiting for is: the battery improvement.

                        Either you produce high capacity Battery or improve it through up-date.

                        Please, take it seriously.

                        Ciao

                            This is very good. Does anybody have an idea whether Google, or just HTC, is going to support the Arabic language in their devices?

                            I really want to buy this phone, and what is stopping me now is that there is no pussort for Arabic.

                            If anyone knows, please post your answer. Thanks...

                              Got mine updated the other day, can't say I noticed a huge change in the internet performance but the camera loads quicker and there is a better responce from the video camera... battery life is still upto one days use.
