HTC Desire S appears to be being updated to 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0

pctech · Oct 11, 2011, 11:20:16

If anyone is interested my Desire S is now up for sale on Amazon (pctech)

I've nearly dropped the thing so many times (but it never actually has dropped), its just too wide for me, gone back to my trusty no nonsense Nokia 6700 classic which I can use single handed until such time as I can find something suitable.

That's a shame. I think all full touchscreen phones are subject to being dropped, as one is subconciously not wanting to touch the screen accidentally, so you don't tend to hold it like you do other phones. I've dropped my 3GS a couple of times, but luckily indoors, onto carpet, so it bounced.

but if you are as clumsy as I am, it'll probably get dropped on tarmac sooner or later.

I am considering an iPhone but will go to an Apple store to try holding one before I buy.

I've found the iphone 4 less drop-able than the 3gs, mostly because of the square edges.

pctech · Oct 11, 2011, 12:13:06

That's my thoughts looking at it, will pop along to the Apple Store when I have some spare dosh again.

Are you sure you'll be able to bring yourself to go in, Mitch?

pctech · Oct 11, 2011, 12:19:35

Yes, just need to drink a few Double Espressos before I do, luckily there's a Starbucks quite close.

Rik · Oct 11, 2011, 12:43:44

A few shorts might be better, Mitch.

pctech · Oct 11, 2011, 12:59:47

Indeed.

Simon · Oct 11, 2011, 13:01:02

Although, it's getting a bit chilly in places for shorts now.

Which places?

Steve · Oct 11, 2011, 16:05:31

I use an 'Incase' slider case on the 3GS . The phone's been dropped many times even on concrete and it's survived so far.

Simon · Oct 11, 2011, 16:06:58

Until you drop it the day before you want to sell it...

Steve · Oct 11, 2011, 16:14:38

I may be forced to sell it to my wife

Simon · Oct 11, 2011, 17:03:53

Sorry, for a second there, I thought you said you'd be forced to sell your wife!

Rik · Oct 11, 2011, 17:46:07

Post a spec, Steve and we'll start the bidding.

Or depending on what we see, confirming how much you would need to pay us!

Surely she's worth at least one part of a camel

Rik · Oct 11, 2011, 18:47:52

Would that be with or without the filter, Steve?

Simon · Oct 11, 2011, 18:48:54

Does she get the hump regularly?

Steve · Oct 11, 2011, 18:50:17

Of course.

There's a bactrian double-entendre if ever I heard one.

Simon · Oct 11, 2011, 19:24:28

I chose my words carefully.
