I told my husband about the Desire a few months ago, and he grudgingly agreed to let me get one. A couple of days later, he announced that he wanted one too. I thought for sure he wouldn't like it since he's minimalistic with stuff but he seems to be getting along okay. He found that Star Wars lightsaber app and he now believes that the phone was worth it.
I only downloaded FBReader so far. There's not much room for books until I can buy a new SD card, since the one it came with is very tiny.
