Technically I didn't buy it as it was exchanged for my faulty Desire HD but..

It feels smaller than the HD even though it's not really. It's actually taller but narrower which probably helps.

Not seeing a great deal of difference at the minute though. Surprised some specs seem to have worsened (no Dolby mobile and reduced internal storage) but I'm happy with the choice so far.

Last night I was driving back from Plymouth to Northampton.

I started yawning at Exeter.

It tastes like crap but it got me home.


In all seriousness, English Coke does taste like crap compared to Ulster stuff somehow :oops:

Worst thing I've bought recently:

Batman Arkham City for PC - Incredibly unstable glitch-fest.

Best thing I've bought recently:

Batman Arkham City for PC - When it works, it's epic.

Actually, it is thinner than the HD - a colleague has one and I have the Sensation, the HD is noticeably bulkier.

I find the speakers aren't as good as my Mozart, but that is supposed to be a music based phone.

My WiFi adapter for my Freeview box turned up yesterday. All set up so now I have access to its on-line portal and can copy HD content off using a user-written program which decrypts it. :)

I bought a Helly Hansen jacket back in September, absolutely perfect for a cold and windy winter. I was very happy with it until I found a part coming loose, and then even more disatisfied when a velcro strip started parting at the seams. Customer service was pretty direct, they accused me of wearing a backpack and said it would not be covered by the warranty. I bit my tongue and responded politely stating that I had worn it less than ten times, never with a backpack, and that I believe them to have a quality issue with workmanship or materials. I'm eagerly awaiting a response.

On a side note I bought the jacket for £150 from an outlet shop in Bicester. It was 50% off there and would normally retail in the uk for £400. I checked out the local price here in Denmark and it exchanges to £695. With that sort of mark-up I'm thinking about setting up a little import business. ;)

Bargain with discount codes, cashback and selling the free game for £20. :D

And this because I had codes and vouchers and a weekend to test the card out.

Bought a variant of those for my gf (purple ones)

She really likes them but for me the cold metal is offputting

Nice, but there's a lot of wires there for wireless headphones :D. I assume it also works as a bluetooth headset yes?
