Idiots
I wonder how many HTC Desire users have now rooted their phone because of this?
What really hurt was that in order to install their firmware update I had to uninstall some apps to make space. Thinking I was getting Froyo, I took it on the chin.
But imagine my surprise when I found a load of crap on my phone I couldn't get rid of, which meant I couldn't install all the apps I had on my phone prior to the update!
Plain and simple, they affected the performance of my HTC Desire with the update.
If they pushed out Froyo then at least I could have moved apps to the SD Card to save space, I might even have lived with all the shite on my phone.
Instead I ended up rooting my phone, I wasn't going to, I had no intention of doing so too.
But now I have Froyo without the Vodafone mess. Mmmmm Fruity Frozen Yoghurt goodness!
BTW, don't use Goldcard nonsense to update your phone.
