I have the desire myself and am very happy with it, the wife has the smaller wildfire (i think) and thats a great (nearly said smart) phone too. Trouble I have with new phones is they seem to be getting bigger and bigger so its getting harder to cary them about. I always think about the summer when getting a new phone. Can you carry a wallet, keys and a phone in the pockets of your shorts? I personally won't go bigger than a desire, though I may go to a HD desire if pushed!! These new windows operated ones are supposed to be pretty good now.
