The HTC hardware is good, and the CyanogenMod is fantastic. Very easy install (once you find the right instructions) and RC2 of version 6.0 works flawlessly. Just be sure to check the model compatibility before buying, Desire is definitely supported. Some people I know have Galaxy S from Samsun

Glad to hear that Steven, that has been my findings too. Unfortunately both Motorola and HTC likes to add their share of fancy looking stuff on top of stock with little regard for responsiveness. Let's hope Gingerbread, as reportedly is its mission statement, will succeed in minimizing the UI fragm

As a follow up, I've updated my HTC Desire with the Cyanogenmod and Froyo (version 6, RC 2) and its working a lot better than the default Sense UI that ships with HTC. I was very reluctant to do this kind of hack, mainly because I'm losing the apples to apples comparison between what a normal user

Yah, I'm sure my experience would have been the same so I got a Nexus One. My only general complaint is that the cloud services are incomplete and Google only. I'm otherwise really happy with my switch from the iPhone 3G. My carrier gave me a second N1 for free (I imported the first from Google d

Donno where I read it, could've been in AOSP somewhere, that the JIT is only on for devices with 512mb RAM. Having said that, even without JIT, Froyo still adds about 40% in performance (tested on wife's Magic). On Aug 20, 9:49 am, Fabrizio Giudici wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > H
