Well, maybe not a sub forum, but we can at least have our own thread, can't we? Unless of course the powers that be regard this as doubling-up on the OFFICIAL Android Thread. But our phones are cooler than anyone else's Android phones... for the time being. So THERE! :p

Dammit enigma, was waiting to get my phone before I started the official Desire thread :P

Although I think maybe an Android subforum is in order, there should be enough threads to justify it, and it might make it easier to find info than trawling through the entire android thread.
 
Going on nearly 2 weeks now since I got my HTC Desire from Lab88 @ Cedar Square for like R8000 or something.....
And Damn is it great coming from a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
Have 2 questions...
GPS Navigation software?
.AVI File player?
Has anyone put custom ROM on yet? ROOTED?
 
Had mine for 5 hours... loving it!!!

What I need is some good apps suggestions. I need an e-reader, a browser alternative (although the included one seems decent), etc etc...
 
1st bit of possibly useless but definitely interesting info - go to dialler and enter *#*#4636#*#* - gives you an expansive testing menu with very in-depth detail on signal strength, battery usage, programme usage etc. etc. More detail than the standard Android phone info jobbie.

For your first question. I wouldn't recommend going to http://forum.mobilism.org/, coz you know, piracy is wrong and all. Still looking for the answer to your second question. Apparently there's an app that converts to .mp4 and a mp4 player.. but I'd prefer to have an avi player.

Pretty cool :D Maybe update your OP as you go along for useless and interesting commands? Put everything under one post etc.
 
I think there is an app that plays avis. I saw one mentioned somewhere online.
 
GPS software for Android - Ndrive works fine of my Hero and it has got full SA maps.
 
Just a small app I found which I think is awesome is "Car mode". When turned on all calls automatically go on loudspeaker when answered. :)
 
eReader app: Aldiko- free and in the app store. Seems to work better than any others I've found. Still waiting on the kindle app though.
 
Can anyone please tell me if the desire comes with a sd card from vodacom? If so, how big?
 
Skype on Android - Fringe works ok with Skype plugin
