    	    <description><![CDATA[Got my moto droid since February. Really good phone with an outstanding attractive price. I was unsure about it's getting updates and stuff but moto 's really doing a great job supporting this one. Android 2.2 is calling here too., The biggest plus on this one is the fine hardware keypad slider. Wouldn't miss it anymore. :)]]></description>

And btw:
<i>Quoted from carbon</i>
		<blockquote>[...]

- The phone speaker is crap
- Google Maps works great but navigation is disabled outside us/uk (for now at least)
</blockquote>

-Google Navigation has already been hacked to work outside the US, (search Brut and googlenavigate)

-Google Earth (the 3D globe) is available for the desire, it is awesome

-The Speaker is actually pretty good, aslong as you dont turn the volume up too much, then it is crap and distorts

for the rest it is pretty awesome, though you need to remember to switch off wifi or bluetooth before your battery runs down, though if you are gentle with the phone, you can use it all day without a drained battery in the evening]]></description>

		<blockquote>the htc desire is currently rated as the #1 smartphone by every reviewer, in the UK its also for sale at a very good price so id recommend that if you can get one</blockquote>

I have HTC Desire. Very nice phone but there are a few things OP might like to know.

- Skype is not available for android
- The phone speaker is crap
- Overall performance is _very_ fast
- Virtual keyboard might not be localized by default (i had to dl scandinavian keyboard from android market)
- Google Maps works great but navigation is disabled outside us/uk (for now at least)
- Integration to google services and fb/twitter/etc works great (eg. the phone can fetch images from fb and associate them with the contact list)]]></description>
