Android in the face of HTC Desire: from abstraction to a reality

Why not?.
About the platform before purchasing the phone read a fair number of kilobytes of text, so the theoretical idea of ​​going to get was. Want to buy androidphone arise from time to time, it seemed a little bit more and make up my mind, but the ... After the announcement of Legend and Desire decided that I could not wait any longer, it's time to decide. First, pricked up his skis on the ... 7- inch screen Desire.

inside out.
The phone itself I was pleasantly surprised. Heavy brick looks sternly, building raises no objections ( knowingly concerned about the practicality of plastic). The screen is incomparable: a bright, responsive, stamps:-) The last quality is slightly sad, but nothing here can not be helped. Shoes must be clean:-).
Piece of hardware without the software filling is of no interest. Inside the Android version 2 of the settled. One with the shell Sense. The guys from HTC have worked nicely: beautiful widgets and judicious management. Only built- twitter- client I did not like.
This omission is easily remedied with the Android Market. Due to lack of experience, rushed to install the program from the list. mak_sim. and. Gluek. Mindful of the qr- codes, pre- set. Barcode Scanner. Then, on the site. androlib. com. looking for applications for the above lists, and fed a reference to the market with a laptop screen. Thus, the first fire unit was formed in minutes. Synchronize with your account. axis of Evil. google was set up immediately. I should not have done this several times had to perenabirat password. I recommend to immediately put. keePassDroid. To take off her troubles on how to enter the password. I managed to tinker with and. LastPass. , But later refused - plug-in works as a standalone browser that delivers greater inconvenience than a benefit.
I remembered, it is necessary to tell the story about the timing. So, comrade telephoned and asked to send a document, sent an e- mail smskoy. Flick of the wrist, I added the data to an existing contact, and after a couple of seconds, opened Gmail on your laptop, and automatically add the address prompted. Miracles, and only:-).
To the list of wonders in addition to animation effects may include an updated forecast. Goggles. - Application for visual search, which has learned to translate the recognized text (Russian is not supported yet, sadly ).
By the way, Desire replaced my device for reading. In the horizontal position with the volume control keys flipping the phone book easily replaces.

Fly in the ointment in android.
