        Mine was lately bootlooping. It is good in batterylife, overheats in gaming.

                Read comments and found out this as their first Android (and the best one), for me HTC Desire is my first Android phone (and also the best one too). Learning how to install the newer version of Android (I use Jellybean) and also learn many things about Android programs. Now the battery is dead and can't find the replacement.

                  This was my first Android phone it really made me fan plus it was more durable then the iPhone 4 since that phone had glass in the back. I had it for three years but the battery life got worst over the years and I remember how advance Google Maps was back then with an asian chick accent giving directions.

                    Seriously cannot stop thinking about this phone for some reason. Quarantine is really messing with my head!

                    Been thinking about porting over Teeter to modern devices, since it's technically abandonware at this point. I'll definitely start an XDA thread if I manage to do so.

                      The Legend Itself

                      I always sell my old tech after upgrading. This is the only device which I couldn't let go of. 10 years later, taking it out of the box didn't feel like stumbling over some old gadget. It felt more like, reuniting with an old friend.

                      A true engineering marvel of it's time. And of course, TEETER! Who doesn't love teeter?!

                                    Owning this phone back in 2011 was a real deal, optical trackpad was coolest thing ever to have under the screen (And some Sony Ericson Phones too) And this beast had AMOLED display back then. Most of the apps were executable with that Scorpion processor,Battery backup was shit,but since it was first version of tate model so it was best for sure back then

                                      This was the best smartphone used.
                                      Looked so good, the UI was still consistent on Android, thanks to HTC widgets, everything looked similar. Now Android is like Windows, in total chaos.
                                      Also this phone has got optical mouse in the front, that was fantastic! You could scroll without touching screen or use as a home button.

                                        Still the best Android I ever owned. Fit in the hand perfectly and made sense. Been using the Pixel the past 3 years and while it's fast, I don't enjoy using it as much as with the original Nexus.
