I’ve had my HTC Desire for just under three weeks now and so far have been very happy with the device, I will post my review in the coming weeks along with some sample videos and images.

My only real issue with the device was its inability to see the applications which I had purchased and used on my HTC Hero. A number of people have reported this very issue and one user received this response from HTC support;

"Dear Andrew The explanation we have been given is that for all new ROMS released we have to supply Google with a "fingerprint" that identifies the ROM and this needs to be updated in their database with compatibility info and such so that the correct apps can be shown. Such as the market filtering out incompatible apps. We do supply these before release of all our ROM’s and devices however we have no say over how long it takes for Google to update their database. Best regards, Bjorn D HTC"

So for the last three weeks I and many other Desire users have been at the whim of Google, well wait no more. As of yesterday Google finally added the Desires fingerprint to their database and DRM protected applications are now available in the market.

So if your a Desire owner, get yourself on the market and see what you have been missing out on.
