Telstra had 10 Desire’s on hand at the Launch to give Journalists a feel of what the device is capable of.

It appeared to have very positive reviews with comments such as “very, very close to having the perfect interface” & “number 1 alternative to the iPhone”.

Here’s hoping Android really starts to take off here in Aus!

I do appreciate the information been collated all in one are so I don’t have to trawl through hundreds of Whirlpool posts.
