Branding

I do get annoyed by the smallest stuff. The O2 splash screens are one of them. They do seem to slow down the whole boot up process of HTC Desire.

hey can you tell me whats the main difference between a branded desire and one from o2 except the boot logo. i want to buy the phone but the unbranded is 50-70 euro more expensive. :/

@YoungDipCLP That is basically it, the branding is the O2 boot logo, and whatever else they decide to stick in as part of their firmware build.

Are you sure the phone just doesn't take that long to boot? A lot of HTC Android phones take a couple of minutes - that actually seemed quite quick.

@m4tt3m50n It bugs me, cause I am sure the splash screen are slowing the boot process. It is supposed to be one of the quickest smart phones about, I would like the opportunity to see how fast :)

Branding does suck but you can flash the ROM and remove it

Just goggle unrevoked htc desire and install their rom which is the default rom

omg o2 wtf!

[PlayStationHidden]

i have the same desire (O2). however, i live in a totally different country with a totally different mobile operator (my desire is simply imported from the UK i guess).

so what i want to know is that when OFFICIAL updates get pulled out for the desire, am i going to have to wait for O2 to release an update, or can i just install them directly from htc?

@ernmander all o2 has done is replaced the htc quietly brilliant annimation with the o2 one three did this too me -.- but it got removed when I hacked it up to froyo but its not rooted :D :E
