Htc-desire-maxis

Malaysia's Maxis will bring the current hype HTC Desire in the market starting tomorrow. Informed via its official Twitter account, HTC Desire will be available at 28 Maxis Centre nationwide and selected Maxis exclusive partners. The subsidized price is RM1,499 (US$452) with contract and either 500MB, 1.5GB, or 3GB data plan, or RM2,199 (US$663) without contract.

HTC Desire will be offered with Android OS 2.1, with OS2.2 (Froyo) update in coming months. Beside that, it sports 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5 megapixels camera, and Flash Lite (do not confused it with Flash Player 10.1 that will be available for Froyo).
 
From what I perceive, seems the Desire is quite desire-able there. Previously, it has already hit Singapore and soon all over Southeast Asia.

"Android war" in Japan: HTC Desire for Softbank, Samsung Galaxy S for DOCOMO

Android-froyo

Following the major success of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, sold by DOCOMO, Japan operators plan to unveil even more Android phones. HTC Desire (Softbank X-06HT) is set to launch by Softbank Mobile, third largest operator that also offers iPhone, while DOCOMO furthermore will put Samsung Galaxy S (dubbed as DOCOMO GT-I9000) into their line ups. Both phones are powered by OS2.1 and probably will have Froyo (OS2.2) when officially launched on Summer/Autumn.

Although the smartphone market in Japan is still not that big, compared to regular phones, it's definitely growing day by day. After iPhone that shocked local market, last month we witnessed long queue of customers to get Xperia X10. Smartphone sales rank captured by Kei Shimada reveals Xperia X10 tops this list for weeks outscores iPhone 3GS 16GB in 2nd position and the 32GB variant in 4th.  

Japan is long known as difficult market to be broken up by foreign vendors. Nokia even gave up selling phone there. Fortunately, Japanese give much love to American OS by letting iPhone and Android to grow bigger every single day. Actually I am looking forward to see Sharp and Panasonic, two largest phone maker in Japanese market, to announce their own Android OS phone.

Make your Nexus One more "Desire"-able with Sense UI

Sense UI is arguably the best custom UI made by HTC for Android OS (the Xperia X10 UI is probably the only one that could top it) and after HTC announced the HTC Desire will have the new and improved Sense UI, many Nexus One owners felt they should have wait and buy the Desire instead of the Nexus One... until now.

If you have rooted your Nexus One, you might want to try the custom ROM based from the HTC Desire device. Mind you though, this is still an alpha release, a couple of performance issues here and there (at least that's what I saw from the video), but overall it's a fully functional ROM and give the dev some more time to tweak it, then this ROM is surely going to be a hit!

The ROM it self has a couple of cool features, like Flash 10.1, an expose-like homescreen switcher, an FM Radio application - although I'm not really sure that it'll work on the Nexus One and many more. Can't wait to flash? Head to this link for more info.
