I've got a new HTC Desire, and so far I'm finding it ok, but a lot of the stuff is gimicky rather than absolute functional.

However my biggest gripes so far are:

1. I cant view my hotmail account properly ie using the default email services it wont let me view html emails received. I end up logging in through the internet browser...

2. I can view word docs, but I want to be able to open 2007 Excel & Word docs and edit them.

3. I can not find any cases in any shops for the Desire. Can any recommend any good online suppliers?

Is it possible to do either of the above?

Ta

I do that re Gmail and Hotmail and use the Gmail App not the mail app.

Just got the Google maps navigation working, most impressed!!

1. Just forward your mail from hotmail to gmail.

2. It's a phone not a computer. That said, there's no dounbt a app for that if you are willing to pay. Quick google reveales:

3. What do yo want a case for? Just don't throw it around. Even my 2 year old phones are scratch free.

1. As above - gmail is the way. Or live with non-HTML until you get to a PC.

2.

**EDIT: if you have the barcode scanner app installed, you can scan the 2D barcode (from the Thinkfree and Docs to go page) with your phone and it'll take you straight to the app on the marketplace.
