Guest wiggy6230 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi all, long time since I've posted anything here. I bought this little bad body at the weekend as a stand in for my damaged Desire S (waiting for replacement parts) I had a look around on the net to see what was available and this lovely £99.99 Pay as you go mobile struck me as darn good deal, I called my local Carphone Warehouse, they had it in stock, so I was straight down town to buy it & it's not disappointed me. Nice size, clear enough screen, lovely Sense 4 ontop of ICS. I did have a few problems with apps not loading correctly & closing or just looping, but this seems to have been fixed after I checked for any updates. There was and I updated and all is peachy. Last night I followed the guide for rooting it and all went well, the longest part was downloading up to date Android SDK. I unlocked the boot loader in accordance with the instructions on HTCdev and then carried out the root successfully. Good little phone, just a bit laggy at times, but for £99.99 I'm not complaining. Hope to see Devs get stuck in and produce a custom recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get it unlocked or are you already with Voda or Virgin? He has a T-Mobile sim at present and I would be looking at getting it unlocked rather than buying the T-mobile paygo which is £50 dearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wiggy6230 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi Thar, When I phoned Carphone Warehouse, I asked what network the phones were on and the guy said there not locked and they issue what ever pay as you go sim card you want. I can not confirm this as I am on Vodafone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
