I get increasingly fed up with those smug dumbphone users! They constantly brag about their non-abilties. Luckily those kind of folks don't use Facebook so much. They couldn't even. ^^
Got mine last week. Have not used an iPhone yet but know it from friends. The biggest advantage I can see on side of the iPhone is the sheer number and quality of accessories on the market especially cases and the like. The selection for the Desire is very limited yet. Screen is fine. Apps are fine for what I need. Sound quality is fine. Don't have the problem with the ear setting off something while talking on the phone. Battery drain is proportional to what you do e.g. heavy use of internet will make you recharge daily but having it lying around as a dumb phone will give you 3 to 4 days I guess. That is similar to the HTC Tytn I lost last year.
I did not find any (sensible) use for the widgets yet. I find it far more comfortable to right go into the app than to use a limited widget which will open the app anyway if touched a little to long. Waste of screenspace mostly. I blame the quality of those widgets. The concept itself has potential.
I was first going for a Legend cause of the look and feel of the Unibody but since had the Desire in my hands I do net regret anything. Looks very elegant and feels solid. A softbutton for Menu and Back would be nice because the physical ones are way harder to press than the slight touch of the screen which can be an issue when using the device one handed.
The included 4 GB SD-Card is too small though. I leaves you only 1.6 GB left upon first start. That's plenty for apps but not for music or pictures or as a mobile data store. The 32 Gigs of the largest iPhone are something else here.
To come to an end: The Desire is a great smartphone. Buy it if you don't want an iPhone! You won't regret.
Actually people don't think "I want to go to Word". They think "I want to write a letter." Oftenly they are completely unaware of the name of the application to do so especially if they are new to computers. Poeple are document centric so to speak.
Well, she could not get online to get tuition to get the knowledge to be able to figure out how to get online.
She's doomed due to natural selection. God spoke through Ubuntu.

...just ignoring stuff? To untechnical a solution?

People with improper upbringing have learned, that the easiest way to get things is to bitch about not having them to someone who can provide.
Intelligence is defined as the ability to learn and understand. My father always said, you can be dumb as long as you know what to do...
