Sometimes its best to say nothing at all, if you have nothing constructive to say

Actually the review comes from androidpit.com / androidpit.de

nice review but it would be even better if there was speech and explanation of the features

hey just noticed ur in Nicosia too lol.
Anyway i wouldnt call this a review sice he doesnt discuss the phone. Still waiting for Engadget and gozmodo's reviews.

I think reviewers like Engadget and Techradar will have the right to post their final reviews next week, knowing that the Desire will be released in some countries the 25 and 26 March, like they did with the Legend ( 48h before releasing it in Belgium)

HTC Desire Review

I know allot of us are waiting for it - but where is it?
Not one full English review of the HTC Desire - driving me nuts.

I'm sure if you checked it yourself, you'll find there isn't one FULL review yet. Everybody is waiting for the same thing, yet the phone is out in a week.

Not heard of reading?
Only english reviews i can find are hands on or breif.. No full english review from any site it seems, at least not from searching extensively.

week? more like ina couple of days

Sorry if I miss understood, what do mean by a full review? We all know what andoid 2.1 can do because of nexus one so it's only really the hardware and sense UI you'd be interested in, right?
Have you seen all these? are they in depth enough to satisfty your curiosity?

just wait 1-3 days and you will get it, .. as many people will get their hands on it soon
in the mean time, i highly suggest you read this review about the Legend from GSM Arena
when i read it, i almost forgot that it is the Legend's review not the Desire's they are pretty similar you know, and lots of things you will find their related to our beloved Desire
cheers

some XDA dudes will ge their Desire tomorrow and Saturday, they will certainly post their views.

Do remember the legend has less RAM, a smaller screen and a slower processor, and it will not run flash 10.1 other than that they seem really similar.
It looks doubtful that the Legend will ever support 802.11n where as the chip in the desire does support it and we are just waiting for software (official or cooked).
In that video I posted, the HTC UK rep says that the legend is to be considered the new Hero whilst the Desire is a new bread.
Since we all know that threatening to leave a network and asking for a PAK code will result in a free Desire you'd only take the legend if your spend was so low they give you the PAK code and say good bye (you still don't have to leave) or you want to buy it sim free.

That GSM Arena says the FM radio has RDS.
The mumbles I've seen about the Desire say the Desire doesnt have RDS.
I wonder which one is right.

Some Asian countries doesn't have RDS at all

What is rd5?

Again, no video. It's easy to fake screenshots. On the other hand, why would Tom destroy his reputation?
Let's wait and see...
I think I'm going to keep my HD2 a little longer. Not that it's likely that I will prefer WP7S over WM6.5 or Android, but I'm curious to try it...

tom is a pretty reputable source, i dont think that he'd do that either.

It was also confirmed by a Mod in the HD2 ROM development thread. Lets wait and see..

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...

A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.
Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Of course, if you display it on the phone.
Very easy, actually.

Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.

Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.
But you're right, those guys are credible.
Too bad they couldn't make a video, though

Video is up guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCFdojbjh8

And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?

not to me...
I say bring it on though

Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...

My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.
As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...

video 2 for all the doubters....

If they came this far to get it on there then I'm sure that will get figured out as well.

SPIED! New HTC Win Phone 7 handset at AT&T store! Pics of Dummy Phone, UPC & Name.

SPIED! New HTC Win Phone 7 handset at AT&T store! Pics of Dummy Phone, UPC & Name.
FYI, I was at an AT&T retail store in Central California today and the store mgr let me check out an upcoming (not yet announced or released ASFAIK), WP7 "dummy phone" by HTC.
No details on the exact processor, RAM, screen technology, etcetera, as it was in a plain, white cardboard box with no printed specs or paperwork, but I do have "some" additional info. I managed to steal a few quick camera-phone pics of the front and back of the device, plus a pic of the UPC barcode, and the HTC Model Name & #. No info from the store about expected release date, etc.
Any interest here?
Billy B.

I personally am not that interested but id say youd be better off not taunting and just post it here

Are you sure it's not HD7s? Besides, until you post pictures, no one's going to trust you. You've got few enough posts where it's not too much to assume you're trolling.

Sorry guys. You're right. I shouldn't have posted this yet. I'm a noob on the site and can see how I would be viewed as a troll. Just waiting to hear back from a tech blog site about running an exclusive...to see if I can get a new phone out of the deal at least, lol. Prolly not, so will post up pics once I get a reply. Oh, definitely not the HD7s.

Maybe I've misunderstood, but the OP is clearly saying this is a Windows Phone device and the chacha is Android..?

I'd write a story for it if its legitimate...but there has to be...something...you know like images or the ATT name of the device...
drop me a PM

If this is breaking - someone it going to beat you to the release if you don't hurry up and post the pics. You're not going to get anything free from a blog site for giving them this news tip - so you might as well do it here.

A new phone in California? Yeah right. In a retail store?
Doesn't even begin to make sense.

Precisely - I feel like user with 5 posts is attempt to troll us. Not saying it's outside the realm of possibility, but most likely, it was some mistake on their end, and has nothing to do with WP.

I thought HTC Trophy and HD7s were the last phones before mango.

This thread is worst than that time I took that girl to the prom who raided her dad's liquor cabinet, spiked the punch, got tipsy, and was wearing no underwear.
And did not let me get any. Not even 3rd base.
Don't tease people.

dissappointed there is no microssd slot, but woop it is here. On first charge as i type.
I have not turned it on yet as it has not finished charging yet. Does anyone know how long this takes?
HTC HD2 trusted old pal has served me well, but time for a faster more poewerful system.
Looking forward to the Dev on it for the xda-dev's lets hope it is easier and more stable than my wifes Wildfire S.

To HELL with SDCards. I got 6 of them and only take one out to transfer big files from my laptop. It's a dying technology... Been using them since my I-MATE JAM and never filled a 16mb card, nor felt anything special for them except invariable frustration with their variable performance. Cloud is the future - together with unlimited internet bandwidth.
Mine shipped yesterday on DHL Express from England, so, YES I could kick u in the nuts lucky son-ova-gun
