Motorola Defy is an excellent phone for that price.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

So Dolpin for browser? Whats opera and Mozilla like? Anything I can get to save battery? Thanks for the help guys. I'm really enjoying it so far, I will get Tapatalk soon..Need to burrow a credit card. I think my GPS is of as well BTW. Is it worth getting a sms app? Sorry, kinda new with this stuff.

I like the stock sms app that comes with HTC.
If you don't mind pirated apps, you can always visit blackdroid.net or applanet

 

[Salvo]

Does it need to be rooted? What is the difference between pirate and not pirated? Anything?

No , pirated apps are just cracked apps. Once ther are are cracked they are "free" of course illegally. Not pirated would just be buying an app from the market store.

The stock SMS app has a bug where due to the timestamps of the texts, they are not displayed in their correct order. Of all the SMS apps I've seen, only Handcent SMS corrects this. That's the main reason I use it.

Salvo, get Juice Defender to save your battery. It really helps. And no, you don't need to be root to install hacked\pirated apps. Just go to Settings>Applications and check the 'Unknown Sources' option. Also, get ES File Explorer. I guess it's pretty self-explanatory.

Debating whether to update to cyanogen mod rc2 or muiu with the meizu m9 theme

MIUI is very iPhone-like. It's very innovative for Android, but I can't see myself using it for long. Give it a try first, and if you don't like it, switch to CM7 RC2.

Opera is best for mobile internet. It compresses the web pages, so less data transfer. Great for use on limited data plans. Mozilla IMO wasn't really an upgrade from Dolphin. The latter has great features, plus add-ons support.

Aren't you glad . Gingerbread + Sense

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Of course. I'll just wait till the bugs are ironed out, then I'm switching. Though we should be getting such ROMs based on the official HTC Desire 2.3 update in a few months.

Did you see they ported Honeycomb to an HTC Magic? It ran like having Windows Vista on a 286 machine.

Yeah I did. They also partially ported it to the Desire, but I'm not gonna use it cos the current version is tablet optimized, so looks bad on our small screens. Icons are just too small.

 

[JCK]

Yes, I know that. But I find it great that they are able to port everything on almost any device.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Yup. Biggest benefit of making the OS open sourced. God bless the AOSP.
