Got My Heart's "Desire"... Another Android Thread.
Well, I finally got the Desire from US Cellular. It is very similar to the Nexus One other than a bit more memory, HTC sense, 720p video AND THE CARRIER ACTUALLY HAS TOWERS IN THIS AREA!!!!
 Another cool feature is USC navigation app that is run by TeleNav and works BETTER in a lot of ways than Google. Of course, it is lacking Google's cool features like a pic of the location when you get there, programmable poi's, etc but it is a lot smoother.BTW I'm selling my N1 here if anyone is interested,  http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f...76/#post340829 I've been waiting for USC to get a decent phone for some time as their coverage is the best in this area by far! http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/08/2...today-for-200/ |

I already got them to waive the activation fee. Besides, I really liked my N1, I just couldn't deal with the coverage anymore, I lost almost $1,000 last month from missed calls. I hated the Acclaim but I really like the Desire, it's the N1 plus Sense and a few other goodies so no loss. Even if I have to "slum" it with this phone a few months, I think that I'll make it somehow... BTW I'm not sold on the galaxy phones anyway...and I'm not sure which variant USC will be carrying. I don't want a keyboard, I do want a flash and I'd like to have the front facing camera or I'd stick with HTC, they've been good to me so far.

Are y'all paying full price for halls phones? You get a new one every 3 months.

I got a Desire too. My friend has a Captivate (AT&T Galaxy S) and there's really no advantage with it. It has a nicer display, but mine takes better pictures and has a built in LED light (flash). You don't really see the difference in the display size, and the quality looks almost identical. Not to mention I got a BOGO on the Desire, doubt it'd be possible with the Galaxy S model, assuming I'd even want it. Plus the Desire's display allegedly uses 1/5th less battery than the Galaxy S's S-AMOLED.
