quickcluck Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Have just ordered a new phone, and am feeing a tad nervous Don't usually do techy phones, I have an I Touch, so didn't want an iphone, so thought this was a good alternative! Although I dont use mobile internet loads, I really wanted good access for when I do use it.... Soooooooooooo positive thoughts please....

Lewis Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have the HTC Wildfire ... smaller version. Love it! You'll be fine with it, take a couple of days getting used to be then its really easy after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have an HTC Desire,not the new one,but I have only had it a couple of months I am typing this on it while in bed in fact. Brilliant phone.......I can only assume the new version is even better! I am very jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks for that! Do you get apps for it like the iphone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yep,there are heaps of them. And as it works with Google,it links up the calendar and shopping lists to your computer. Sooooo much better than an iPhone,IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Brill! I might be nagging you for instructions when it gets here! Do you access them from the phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have just got a wildfire and don't know how I got by without it. I have a shortcut to this forum on my home screen and get automatic email notifications - I love it! My friend has a desire and thinks its the best thing since sliced bread. You dont have to be a technical wizard to use them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Do you access them from the phone? Theres the Market which you just go into (from your phone) and can download apps A lot of them are free too - I haven't paid for one yet Makes things like Twitter and Facebook really easy to update too I've sync'd up my Google calendar which is really useful but not emails yet.

patsylabrador Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I also have an HTC desire and also love it. I was a bit daft when I first got it as I couldn't see the screen outside in the sun which was annoying. It took me a while to realise that you can go to settings and adjust the brightness. You can download all kinds of crazy backgrounds and soundboards from the app market. I had a Halloween thing going on with games as well, lots of fun.

Cinnamon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I think it may get confusing - there was already one a week or so ago for the iphone. Lets keep them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 I missed that! Good thinking tho..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Twitter gets used all the time - can just sit at the bus stop, tweet + see what people are up too. Probably too much Facebook is handy too. Calendar get used a lot - you can set it to give you reminders that pop up. Like but don't use all the time: Google Goggles (take a photo of something and it'll try + tell you what it is!) Google Sky Map One down side is the battery! 'Cos it does so much I have to charge it every night, whereas old phone could last a couple of days - have set the brightness to lowest and turned off always-on mobile data, which does help quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
