Has anyone got or used this latest version of the phone. Is it better than the last Wildfire? I have never had an android phone, and have around £200 to spend.

It is much better in terms of specs and also the screen res boost. I have played with a live one its rather cute with a nice feel and is quite snappy in operation. GSM Arena and Phone Arena have both reviewed it. I have seen it sin free on Amazon for £216 but its £179 currently on T Mobile.

Its £199 on o2 (which is who I am with). Was just wondering if it was worth a punt, or wether there is possibly something better for the money.

For that price I cannot think of anything at the moment but I would say it's a decent handset. But they said camera is not that great

Not too bothered about the camera, as I have a digital camera for taking real photos. Was possibly looking at galaxy ace, but just checked the comparison on phone arena, and it looks like i should get the HTC.
Do o2 phones normally come unlocked, and will it be full of bloatware.

O2 contract phones come unlocked but from experience their pay & go do not. I have read the Galaxy Ace has a very good camera & decent specs but it does not have much ram. I would choose the HTC over the Samsung Ace.

Only thing about HTC is on internet forums I have read quite alot of complaints about dust under their displays. Not sure if they are isolated cases but alot of people have had dust under Desire,Desire Z & even the HTC Incredible S. Google it you'll see. But as I said not sure if it were early or isolate cases.

Of course its isolated - you dont hear about things like this on HTC forums at all. I haven't had any dust under my HTC screen its crystal clear - also with handsets like the Sensation that have a very slight curve in the screen so it doesn't touch a surface when on its face it can only be a good thing.

Try Googling it though  When I had my first Desire HD I had a massive finger print under the screen

Well I have just noticed something on my phone which may give a reason to this. On the top left and right part of the screen, I can see a small gap. Surely this cant be right.

What sort of gap?? Inside the screen or between the screen and the frame?? Does it move or creak?? Check it with another one in store see if they can swap it. Don't be scared about demanding something in store I am not

Its where the screen meets the frame. You can see inside when looking in the right light. May pay a trip to o2 shop tomorrow.

That sounds like a not put together right one. Yes,you have the right to return. Sounds like if there is a gap you could also end up with dust getting inside

Thats what I was thinking. That may be why people have been having the dust issue. Will keep you posted.
