Just picked one of these up today..... not had a play yet, so will give some first impressions when I have. Switching on and the 4 inch super amoled screen is amazing. Tried it quickly in direct sunlight and is still completely readable.
Some quick unboxing shots........................

I was impressed wth the amoled screen on the desire, but the super amoled, even in these pictures, looks pretty good!
I hope/assume HTC will use these in future devices
if you haven't seen it, here's a comparison in sunlight between the galaxy S, desire and X10. Despite my enthusiasm for the Desires screen, it is clearly outshone by the Galaxy S and even the X10 screen is pretty good!

Yes & Samsung have always made quality screens. I very nearly got one of these phones on Saturday but I plumped for the big X10 instead. Only thing though on a 5 meg camera why no flash  That comparison seems to be showing the X10 & Samsung as the clearest the HTC Desire you can hardly see. My X10 is great in sunlight. Would love to see the Samsung screen.

The screen is fantastic, first thing I did try was to see how readable it was in direct sunlight and could see the screen perfectly well.
So far I am very impressed with the overall performance. I don't miss the flash as I don't really take many pictures in darkness. HD video looks pretty impressive, and picture quality looks pretty decent too. Will try get some picture samples up asap.

I think it has the same battery as the X10 a 1500mAh so should be good

Yes, 1500mAh battery. Pretty good, lasting a day with a fair bit of hammer, mainly apps and web browsing. A few texts and calls as well. Should improve once it's been charged/discharged a few times.

Just seen a You Tube video regarding problems with this phones saying it's slow & has horrible delays between selecting things like apps & it does not cope well with many things running. Is this true how are you finding it?

Not found it slow or delayed yet, and had it running several apps at once, maybe whoever put the videos on youtube are running silly amounts of apps etc... Finding it very responsive so far. Will try it with as many apps running as I can, see if that slows it down out of interest.

That's what I thought cos I seen another video review of it & it looks very fast although it was slightly speeded up. I love the pinch & zoom multi touch. The video i seen complaining of speed was some American woman

She's probably not using an app killer. Check out the video uploaded by Jon from Tehkseven (phonage), it has a comparrison of the Desire and the Galaxy S both running Quake 2. The Galaxy walks all over the Desire for frame rate

Oh cool. I don't use an app killer on my X10 but though I have a smartphone I am not one to run ten things at once. The most I do is 2 things running at once so I never get slow down. Many app killers I have tried kept crashing my phone
