I'm sure if you checked it yourself, you'll find there isn't one FULL review yet. Everybody is waiting for the same thing, yet the phone is out in a week.

Sorry if I miss understood, what do mean by a full review? We all know what andoid 2.1 can do because of nexus one so it's only really the hardware and sense UI you'd be interested in, right?
Have you seen all these? are they in depth enough to satisfty your curiosity?

just wait 1-3 days and you will get it, .. as many people will get their hands on it soon
in the mean time, i highly suggest you read this review about the Legend from GSM Arena
when i read it, i almost forgot that it is the Legend's review not the Desire's they are pretty similar you know, and lots of things you will find their related to our beloved Desire
cheers
some XDA dudes will ge their Desire tomorrow and Saturday, they will certainly post their views.
Do remember the legend has less RAM, a smaller screen and a slower processor, and it will not run flash 10.1 other than that they seem really similar.
It looks doubtful that the Legend will ever support 802.11n where as the chip in the desire does support it and we are just waiting for software (official or cooked).
In that video I posted, the HTC UK rep says that the legend is to be considered the new Hero whilst the Desire is a new bread.
Since we all know that threatening to leave a network and asking for a PAK code will result in a free Desire you'd only take the legend if your spend was so low they give you the PAK code and say good bye (you still don't have to leave) or you want to buy it sim free.
That GSM Arena says the FM radio has RDS.
The mumbles I've seen about the Desire say the Desire doesnt have RDS.
I wonder which one is right.
Some Asian countries doesn't have RDS at all
What is rd5?

Hi everyone, I have no contact with anyone from everyone here! And this I do not filled with useless posts in the xda
The HTC Hellas just saw the project I was interested in the development and promised me that I will replace the device and give me and once to do my experiments!
Once I get news, you will know it!!!
Thanks for your Support!!!
(also thanks for all this guys who give me money via donations to buy new Desire... if HTC HELLAS give me this devices, i will return your money back)

Under the GPL anyone who asks for them should be given them.
If he releases the rom and fails to give us sources its a breach of the GPL and XDA rules and he will get a long xda ban instantly...
That being said, he has yet to release a rom, but I don't think it exists.

All we have is a claim he can do it and a video. Video could be taken from any phone. Especially as he ruined his last desire with 30fps and burning, why try again?
That said, only time can tell I guess. Just seems too good to be true.

Actually Android is not GPL it is Apache licensed, only the kernel is GPL, he does not necessarily have to give anything he makes himself.

Yeah correct i forgot we were talking about drivers etc. But the point still stands that as of yet we still do not know this exists.
I will wait 5 days to see if hе would have ROM, as himself said
30fps is almost achievable with easy twek. You switch to picture mode, and change iso sensitivity to 800, and then switch back to camera mode. Instantly you get more fps, but unfortunately worse video quality when you record in low light areas
HTC Confirms 2.3 Desire Plans
Bit of a news flash here, sorry if it's in the wrong section but this is more of an anser to an un-asked question, y'get me?
Anyway, HTC confirmed yesterday that they WILL be updating the current Desire range upto 2.3. This includes the Desire, the Z and the HD. Hope this helps with the concerns that HTC were ditching the Desire for the Desire S.
For the rest of the information, check out this page.
The link goes to CNET
*It's likely that rather than being 2.3, the Desire will be getting 2.4, which is the latest release from Google. This is no different from 2.3 but contains some very minor bugfixes.
Nice! A bit long to wait though.
Thanks for the info!
wow thanx for the great news! made my day
i hope its worth waiting

no problem, I was randomly searching the Internet for any articles that could shed any light on the current Desire situation we are all going through, and I just happened to find that neat post that was only put on there today. Alas the Desire lives on, I guess with it being so popular HTC decided to make it, however I'm not expert but from a Market view of things, I seriously doubt Honeycomb will be coming to the Desire range, as none boast dual processors and with the update coming so late, it would be a large Market downside for HTC, why develop Honeycomb for a device that's waited 6 months for a 2.4 update... Anyway I'm just glad that within my first few days of being at XDA that I have been able to help people with the Desire information, I know I only sourced it, but this stops a lot of peoples worries, and it looks promising that we WILL be getting the new sense time for a beer I think xD
We re starting to feel just like the Xperia X10 users and their updates it all goes according to HTC's plan. Nevertheless its good to know we'll be getting the new sense and and Android.

I think that the reaosn why it's taking so long really lies with Google. If they hadn't of had the 2.3 exclusivity with the Nexus S, then the chances are we would have our update much quicker. However HTC should be concentrating on Software just as much as new Products. Existing customers are just as important as potentially new Customers, and at the moment it looks like they are focusing their business on creating new products, and not updating the current ones. Not a good business plan at all.
with the way that our providers play about with it , as stated in the article it will be xmas before its out
I won't look forward to the update because waiting for updates ALWAYS dissappointed me in the past...

That's one of the benefits of De-branding. My HTC Desire came branded with the Orange software (which left me with 100MB of free space) I de-braded, updated to Froyo 2.2 and had something like 143MB of free space left, and whenever HTC release an update I immidiatley recieve it. My HTC has Orange logo's on it and everything, but it's de-branded.

It's not the 2.4 update we can't wait for, its the new Sense, well in my case it is anyway. 2.3/4 isn't a very good update? It's a few icons and support for some other Hardware, Honeycomb should be interesting.
Can't wait!

I just saw this note on HTC UK FB profile
"Contrary to what we said earlier, we are going to bring Gingerbread to HTC Desire."
Before everybody gets too angry, take a look here: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/htc-pulls-a-180-now-says-gingerbreads-coming-to-desire/
Wow HTC is really scared of the mob. I heard the news too late though. I've already rooted. I bet it won't have a new version of sense, just keep the old sense with gingerbread in the background.
Update
HTC annonced today, there will be an update with Gingerbread for HTC Desire
they said they will strip out some apps
which is better as hopefully some of the junk will be removed that you can just download from the market anyway.
I never used quick office for example more than once
Since I believe that reviews for this awesome new device will start appearing very soon, this thread will be used to post all such information.
Remember to post links to the review itself rather than copy stuff from the review itself in the thread.
Awesome, just what I'll be looking for to make sure I stay happy with my One X pre-order
Went for it in black, really hoping to see the final build for black (or grey) soon - Reviews out this week?
With the car charger being black, as well as accessories and all my current gadgets (Vita/Laptop/PC), I simply don't want to go white.
waiting for gsmarena and phonearena , if they turned out positive , this will be my first high end android phone for sure

Yes, the original Swedish website have the most detailed and best reviews I have ever seen. But the reviews are written in Swedish first, and then translated to English afterwords, so they aren't going to be the first ones out, but will give you the most out of a review. Just look up their Sony Xperia S review.

But they introduced the english site two days ago. I think they'll publish new reviews in both languages simultaneously. If they are born pre 1990 they are probably good at english and translations won't take time. Post 1990 hardly know swedish.

Okay, it may not take so long time to translate the reviews, but Swedriod do usually take a bit longer time to test their devices, just because they are more detailed. So the review wont show up there first, but will have lots of more content then other reviews.
Here's an overview of the device with a couple of HTC reps. Not really a review but this video has confirmed the notion that this will be my next phone.
http://youtu.be/wzrl6fzXH24
Can't wait for it
This phone seems really awesome... I'm only concerned about the non replaceable battery after 3/400 hundred recharges (I think that it will need a recharge every 1 day, max 1.5 days..).. Very nice design, very smooth experience and very nice camera.. Thanks for the 3 videos on YouTube, very good

I have not turned it on yet as it has not finished charging yet. Does anyone know how long this takes?
HTC HD2 trusted old pal has served me well, but time for a faster more poewerful system.
Looking forward to the Dev on it for the xda-dev's lets hope it is easier and more stable than my wifes Wildfire S.

To HELL with SDCards. I got 6 of them and only take one out to transfer big files from my laptop. It's a dying technology... Been using them since my I-MATE JAM and never filled a 16mb card, nor felt anything special for them except invariable frustration with their variable performance. Cloud is the future - together with unlimited internet bandwidth.
Mine shipped yesterday on DHL Express from England, so, YES I could kick u in the nuts lucky son-ova-gun
