I have one and its probably the leading android device at the moment.
Having said that, I am selling mine as have decided to take the plunge on iphone4 on launch day as I have a feeling they will have sorted out the signal issues from the 3gs which was the only thing which made me get rid of it, and Im confident a jailbreak will be available really quickly (cant cope with a non jailbroken iphone)

I'm definitly hooked and for one brief fleeting moment earlier today considered skipping the iPhone 4... but nah...
Mind you if Android phones carry on like this the next iPhone iteration might see me stay away

pics, sadly, are at usual HTC standard so far for me (see below)
also, I just discovered that you can't get a screen capture without rooting the device (btw, rooting means something quite different in Australia ), and I'm not ready to do that yet as I'm not familiar enough with the device

Oh dear,my LG Android phone with 3 mega pixels is better than that but I guess these phones are not really concentrating on camera quality. It's all about what's under the bonnet the operating system & what it can do Maa I guess that's a view from your work?

yes, its the view over Canary Wharf from the 21st floor.
I've downloaded many free apps so far, including those I have on my iPhone, but my Android favourite which is not available on iphone is Google Sky Map
its incredible. just point it in any direction and it shows the astronomical features you are looking at. You can also select, say Mars, and it will guide you to its current location in the sky.
its just a shame I haven't had much real use of it yet due to the crummy UK cloudy weather!

here I am, another happy user of a brand new orange branded HTC Desire!
I prefer it to my iPhone for everyday use ' cause I got it cheaper -- 100e with a contract and data plan of 30e including calls and sms--- and it has radio and theoretically, flash video.
I will keep my beloved white iPhone 3GS 32gb - paid 620 e including unlocking--because I do love it, but maybe at home, as multimedia with it's speakers...or sell it and get a new iPhone 4 if it is god enough.
No radio? No flash? I do not care about cameras anymore, got a new one, and I do not know if I should sell it right ahead or wait for another year and see a real evolution in apple.
