HTC Upgrade

Hubby just left for his meeting and I'm missing him already. Sigh! After meeting will be hubby's routine schedule to MLK. Hubby did asked if I wanted to spend the weekend in MLK but I decided not to. I'll stay home and hopefully has the energy to clean up our house, probably do some shopping if I'm in the mood, and attend a Ramadhan program organized by my school alumni. Ooohhh... and not to mention trying to complete my research proposal. Just checked my results... I got A for both subject last semester and a CGPA of 3.8 hehehe... Certainly need to publish the grades because it was difficult to get an A when I was an undergrad.

Opppsss I digress... wanted to blog about my HTC software upgrade. Not the phone upgrade. I decided to root my Desire and extend its internal storage. That is the only problem I have with my Desire i.e. storage. Keeps getting 'Not enough storage' message and I'm getting tired of not able to download and use certain apps on my so called SMART phone. I bought my Desire on 1st Dec 2010 with raving reviews of it being the best smartphone of the year. I bought the best so I can use it for a long time. Alhamdulillah after rooting the phone, I hope I can spend few more months if not years with my Desire. I've looked at SIII and One X, hold 'em, try 'em out and imagine myself with either one of them... still they didn't really strike my fancy. I prefer One X and the battery life of SIII so it is very hard to decide. Sorry iPhone, you're not on my list :) In the end, I decided to hold on to my Desire and be merry. Save some money and use my Desire as long as it works fine. I have everything I need on my Desire, now running Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) with 1.88Gb of internal storage :)

I've been warned that phone may be slower and consume more battery but I'm fine with it. Now I experience a very noticeable lag when switching or opening some app. I'll live with it and see how thing goes for a while. Could be a reason for my next phone upgrade but to upgrade phone without a real reason, is just not me. I've had only 4 handphones so far. I don't change handphone just because I can. I'm very practical that way. So I'm very happy for now and who knows there'll be newer and better models when I decided to upgrade later :)
