i really wouldnt suggest uninstalling it.. but just use it when you really need it.. just read the whole article and you'll know what i mean..

I'm referring to how the phone is marketed now. The discontinuance of N1 was only for pure retail. It's now sold exclusively for Android Developers. A phone couldn't get more "Dev-ier" than that.
Yes all Android phones can be used for dev.

and thats exactly what i replied to the one asking...its no longer available on retail...discontinued na...
and chestergo is not an android developer so my advising him to get the desire instead is precisely accurate
and sense UI gives end user better experience out of the box which should matter more plus those added advantage that i already mentioned.
oh and the desire has HD video recording...

so for the user end consumer considering n1, the HTC desire is the way to go...and as mentioned, in general, they are virtually identical...with local support and warranty pa gyud karon diri sa gizmo.

btw, most argument i get is that the n1 has voice to text and desire doesnt have.
but thats not entirely true. VTT is part of 2.2. installing handcent (which is a better sms program anyways) plus choice dialer+ give me all the VTT i need including google voice search etc. voice to text input to reply text and create msg create calendar reminders etc.

my 11 must have android FREE apps (by markyap)

1) HANDCENT: better sms + voice to text
2) BARCODE SCANNER: get links from webpage quick and easy (chome to phone is still buggy for me)
3) GPS STATUS: gives you more details on your GPS and share your data.
4) HANDYCALC: a much better calculator
5) CHOICE DIALER+ FREE: speak what you want
6) CONVERTPAD: forex and a whole lot more
7) FXCAMERA: try the toycam effect
MECONTACTS: a better speed dial (if you call 1 person lang most often, try COMBADGE)
9) SABINILA: get your dose of local news
10) TOGGLE SETTINGS: quick mod on your settings and custom profiles
11) GOOGLE TRANSLATE: do you speak foreign languages? do need the tagalog word for "dawn"?

share your apps guyz!

Quick reboot - if your a restarting freak! needs root!
Navidriod - probably the best navigation software that works in cebu, looking for something better if available
Appbrain - another alternative to the market, lets you sync apps from web to your phone so you dont go redownload them 1 by 1

hi fellow istoryans,

not all apps can be moved to SD card though..

download Apps 2 SD or SDmove sa market.. it will scan which apps can be moved to SD card.

[predo]

setting>applications>manage applications. @ downloaded tab select app to move and choose move to SD Card or try the apps suggested by c_cebrecus.
