Just noticed in this pic: http://www.softsailor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/HTC-Desire-Silver-04.jpg
That the Desire seems to have dock connectors on the bottom like the N1. Anyone now anything about this for sure? Will it fit the N1 dock?

I live in the uk and stuck between the HTC desire and Nexus One Froyo. From what I have read and learned, they are essentially the same phone, except nexus one receives the updates the quickest as it is the 'google experience' phone.
Right now im leaning more towards the nexus as it seems the froyo really does give the phone a stronger advantage. JIT, better interface etc... Am not that bothered about SenseUI and heard that froyo does make senseUI unnecessary in some areas. Despite rumors about the desire updating to froyo, majority of people are saying that it will be likely be autumn before the desire gets an update. So now that the froyo is picking up the interface and other substantial areas, what now gives the desire the edge over nexus?
I can't decide which phone to get, I'm currently between HTC Desire and Nexus one. I'm been reading reviews while doing some comparisons to try to decide on this.
When the phones were first released I remember reading that the two main difference was that the Desire would have Flash support but not the Nexus One and also of course Sense UI.
In 2.2/Froyo I believe that has been rectified and we can get Flash on the Nexus One as well, please do correct me if I am wrong.
As for Sense UI, I understand it's an Interface developed by HTC to place over Android. From what I have been reading, Android does not need Sense UI to run. So what makes Sense UI so special? What can it do and so on that the Nexus one cannot?
I'm essentially looking for whats the difference between the Desire and Nexus One.
I used to have nexus one, with Froyo 2.2. Unfortunately i dropped the phone one too many times and the LCD is cracked, hence i gotten myself a new HTC desire.
My questions:
1) how to i re install all my apps(previously installed on N1) to Desire. Besides trying to remember each app and manually installing them one by one
2) can i just use my old SD card (with music and Froyo, etc) from N1 and use it on desire? Or should i mirgate all data out, format using Desire and re use as a brand new card?
It's gorgeous, and a lot quicker than the sense gallery. http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-the-nexus-one-gallery-to-htc-desire/

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have a LauncherPro style dock but still using Sense?I like the way LauncherPro has Web/Phone/Text etc icons along the bottom which frees up screen space. Sense only gives 3 of which the '+' button is pointless as it is just the same as a long press. Would rather avoid changing altogether to LP if at all possible.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFirstly, I love this app! Finally got my Desire looking awesome! One slight problem though, I'm running Defrost 2.9a with Launcher Pro, and have changed the dock icons to custom ones. However, every so often, two of these custom icons revert back to the original ones for no reason?! Anybody had anything similar. I would definitely pay for the Pro version of this app, if I knew that would fix the issue...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with the dock icons on launcherpro. If I use the hide status bar option I get an empty Black bar at the top and half the icons are pushed down at The bottom of the screen. Not all the time just now and again. The icons stil function ......I know its probably linked to an app I'm running But I can't find which one after many deletes and Reinstalls.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay, so i quite fancy getting a speaker dock for my HTC Desire. For 2 functions really, the main one is charging, but also so i can use it to listen to music without my headphones. Now, most the decent docks appear to be geared towards the iPhone/iPod ( have been looking at them in electrical stores today) -and thus, where my HTC phone will sit there is obviously the huge wide iPod/iPhone connector which would fit into the base of the iphone - obviously with the hTC being a mini usb input, it wont fit. So my question is is there a small connector available somewhere that has the female ipod connection at one end and then the male mini usb the other so you can simply slip this on the male sticking out ipod connector at the base of these Speaker/CHarger docks and then put the HTC on top? know a lot of them do have AUX inputs which means yeah, i could connect it and listen through the speakers BUT, id like this to be a charging dock as well. Am i th ONLY person in the world who has a HTC that wants a Speaker/Charger Dock?? surely not?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been looking around for ways to get the Nexus One ROM onto a HTC Desire handset, but all I can find is details for the opposite. I really just want rid of Sense, and to run with the native Android UI where possible. I like the Nexus One menu, but prefer the Desire hardware, like the buttons at the bottom, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhich phone should I get? The HTC Desire or the Nexus One. As a UK user the HTC Desire would appear to be my best bet due to deals and availability but I need to know more before deciding. I heard the HTC Desire doesn't do the Speech To Text functionality because of the lack of Dual Mics. Is this true? If it is, is it such a deal breaker? The New Sense UI looks great, but at the sacrifice of regular OTA updates is it worth it? HTC seem to have added a bunch of features that appear really good.

Nexus One or HTC Desire.
They look pretty like the same in terms of hardware and both will certainly run android 2.2 by default.
I was just wondering whether the htc desire rom on the nexus one is stable enough to be usable because my friend is torn between sticking with the stock firmware or htc desire rom as he really likes htc sense, as do i.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am a N97 User, and i'm looking forward to get an android phone. So far, I have made 2 choices: Nexus one, or Desire. Now I'm stuck between these 2 choices, I don't know wich to buy. They say Desire has nothing more than nexus one but flash support and Sense UI. Besides the flash support, I don't know what HTC Sense UI is. I have read Wikipedia articles but I didn't understand completly that what it does. Can someone explain me what it does to me (shortly)? Also, I think the Nexus One looks better than Desire.
View 22 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I have the car dock which is nice rotates 360 but the phone home screen does not rotate, only certain screens rotate. It would be nice if the contacts screen would rotate also when the phone does. Also would be nice if it would rotate 360 not just one way 90 degrees.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently and have had since day one a Nexus One on tmobile , the issue is tmobile does not have 3G in my area and this is limiting what I can do with the phone as you can imagine. Another carrier (cdma for the most part , Cellular South) is coming out with the Desire and they're 3G coverage in my area is great.
I absolutely love the stock Android operating system and use the Wiimote app often , I hear it doesn't work with sense UI. Are there any other differences in the use between the Nexus and the Desire? How about swapping all of my information over? Will my lookout backup app be able to swap between the two, etc etc. Basically looking for an informed person to let me know what all will change/ be involved in the changeover and day to day use.
Which one, Im having a really hard time to choose one. I do like sense ui and thats steering me towards the Desire more at the moment. So would like some more opinions.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an NexusOne but it's a bit expensive in my country and I was thinking about the new HTC DESIRE. The specs are top notch and I can live with that tiny chin (I would prefer without it). The rest of the differences are ok except one: it's not a "google phone". The most annoying thing about galaxy was the lack of support and while latest android version reached 2.1, galaxy was still struggling with 1.5. I fear this will be the case with DESIRE too since it's not an official google phone (see hero case).
Perhaps being so similar in specs with nexus could make it easier for modders to port latest nexus rom to desire (I heard they already ported desire rom to nexus for the "sense" theme)? I really want what iphone fans have: instant upgrade to the latest (and greatest??) OS version (I hate iPhones btw).
I live in India and unfortunately mobilefun.co.uk as well as htcpedia do not ship to India
Came across a deal on Ebay UK for an OEM Nexus One battery 1400mAH. Does it work on the Desire?
Btw, last week i have already ordered a non-oem battery+cradle charger off ebay. are non-oem batteries reliable?
if HTC Incredible/Nexus batteries are compatible with the Desire? I think i've seen some mention of people using Nexus batteries and as long as it's the standard capacity it should fit right? Whilst I doubt the capacity is as good as the official HTC ones you can get a charger and two 1400mah batteries on eBay for the price of a single Desire battery here..
