Yeah I'm suprised by the odd very technical report of screen issues! I think thats just it. To the eye everyone who has seen it prefers the screen to n900. I think its very clear, very colourful and crisp.

Battery life was a dog yesterday, then realised (like the n900) that things need detuning - screen down/wifi off/auto updates off etc. Mine was checking email realtime and battery was sucked by 4pm - 10 -12 hrs.

Today after tuning I expect double this if not more - based on other users findings.

I spent about 2 hours adding apps - I love the barcode scanner which calls up a url and downloads the app. Simples. Love the starwars type menu structure I downloaded - looks like the end of starwars where the text goes away into the distance

There are some really useful tools - have to search them out like the iTunes store though.

This isnt a new OS - its pretty established now and probably where Nokia need to be aiming for in 6 months.

I love my n900 but I think this may become past tense very soon as the Desire is a fine device.

If you want pure mobile computing and infinate advanced access - the n900 is probably your friend. If you want mobile multimedia that can be customised, a decent phone and tons of apps that all work cleanly and quickly, the Desire is your friend. Don't get me wrong - this is NOT an iPhone. Its so much more and maybe a midpoint of iphone to n900. Its got everything the n900 should have and lots more than the iPhone is.

Will update todays battery life later
