Thanks for all the responses I am thinking it may well be the HTC but just as a last wee curve ball I have been offered a good condition i-phone 3gs which means if I take that I can go to a sim only contract & reduce my monthly payment. But the HTC does look good.Bugger decisions decisionsTAM

HTC Desire HD is he road you want to take myfriend

Much better then Apple!

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Vodafone sent exchange HTC Desire handset
Transfered all me info, numbers etc
Guess what....

This one bloody f*ck'd too, different problem to the first, randomly won't scroll between screens AND freezes up

I'm starting to think I've upset rather a lot of electrons in a previous life and its Karma payback time

Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs

I think it must be you. Go and stand next to a cash machine and see if you can that to go wrong too

I'd go back to Vodafone and have a damn good winge if were you, that's clearly not right. Sale of goods act and all that.

Hi,
Vodafone are normally pretty good with exchanges even if it is a complete pain. They've probably sent a refurb, which is normal. Tell them to change it again and make sure they record your displeasure against your account. If it happens again, you're in a good position to demand a brand new phone.
They did it for me in the past. They're way better than O2 for that sort of thing.

Seems odd mate, the missus and a mate of mine both have desires, no probs at all. I've had five HTC phones over the past 8 years or so, never had an issue. In fact just replaced the duff battery (after 4 years of constant use) in my HTC P3600 (Orange M700)

Can you cancel the phone and get you money back, try an iPhone, maybe that'd work for you?

Tony, ChrisG & Cats have the HTC's, no probs
tho 2nd handset was screwed straight outta box, it worked flawlessly when I was at Excel with Tony

Ex got a Desire, she got equivalent of Xbox red rings of death (her description

) within month of having phone => nu phone

Having alook around Android forums is seems mine is by no means a solitary case!
Couple things cropped up regarding processors running hot & then phone shutting down, plus cases of faulty batterys seeming to cause this
as Vodafone will (so far) only do exchange, means I'm using my battery, so starting to wonder if battery iffy leading to faults, esp as I'm a light user but still end up charging sometimes twice a day... could buy a replacement battery but then should I be forking out to try to fix goods (and thus a service) I'm paying a company to provide?

another vote for HTC Desire ( and i am using Desire HD ) with pre-loaded GPS.

HTC Desire HD.. good points

- bigger screen than iphone (4.3" compared to 3.5")

- able to play flash and java.

- preloaded GPS (no need to pay roaming data charges, no need to wait for google map download)

- can synch contacts to facebook, twitter.. all contacts are organized.

- when you first get the phone, can sych with all other phones for contacts, msg, calender... so no need to re-key in contacts.
(my wife using iphone4 and need to change mini sim card, so all contacts are lost)

- many free apps and games (free angry bird, free whatsapp)

- can plug into any pc to put in songs, movies, photos, (no need itune to synch)

- can change themes and app layout, better than folder in iphone.

- can take out battery and mem card (mini SD) so you can change batt and storage easily.. (iphone is fixed)

bad point

- loud speaker is not so loud (sound level lower than iphone)

- not so long batt life.. (may be i am using apps most of the time)

Hey KMAX

I'm also using the Desire HD - how do you pre-load maps?

Regarding battery life - I've downloade two buttons to quickly turn on/off WIFI and Bluetooth, this gave me +150% in battery life.

To the OP: The Desire HD is soooo easy to use and the Android system is is spreading faster than herpes...
