Origin

Got one of the HL-4040's from Vicki on Wednesday - extremely good price and quick delivery. It's been working perfectly so far. Thanks

Yeah it's pretty awesome huh? I'm replacing mine end of the month with a Desire - gonna miss the physical keyboard though.

Pretty much yeah. Build my own computers, have a couple games consoles (though actually don't use them all that much these days), smart phone, HDTVs hooked up to computers, etc. Also my own linux server.. is that going too far? heh. I've met a lot of techs / network managers who don't seem all that interested in the tech stuff at home though. Don't know if it's down to lack of disposable income or lack of interest. Smart phones are kind of an oddity. I used to have no interest in them, but after using one there's no way i'd want to go back to a dumb phone. They do a lot of stuff that you don't really think will be useful til you actually use one for a prolonged period - mobile email and the calendar reminders have helped a ton with my organisation for instance. Battery tech really needs to improve though.

I'd get either the HTC Desire or the iPhone. iPhone: Better for media with iTunes and syncing, easier to use, arguably more visually appealing. More (though not necessarily better) applications to choose from. Better for gaming as well if you're into that. HTC Desire: Better operating system (notifications, multitasking, extendability, customisation), nicer screen (quality, pixels, size), faster processor. It also has Sense UI which makes it look a lot nicer than plain Android OS. Personally i'm getting the Desire as soon as it's released. It's scheduled to be available for pre-order direct from T-Mobile next Monday, and release is either 26th March, 1st April or 5th April depending on who you ask.

I'm interested in one of these - will send you a PM.
