My Brand New HTC Desire HD!!!!!

Hello All,
Yesterday i received my HTC Desire HD.  I can not put into words how nice the phone is.  The huge screen is amazing and the phone feels great in my hands.  From the first second you turn on the phone i noticed how different it is from the iPhone.  I still think that the iPhone is a great phone but the HTC is so much different.  It is going to take me a while to get used to the new interface but i will have a lot of fun learning new things.  The thing that is going to take me the longest to get used to is the fact that there is a "back" button on the phone that lets you go back to where you just were. 
I think that the main difference in the UI is the fact that the HTC feels like it is always working.  For example in the iPhone i had to open the facebook app in order to see my notifications.  In the HTC all the apps are integrated into the phone so well that all notifications from all apps are shown on the phone all the time.  All types of notifications are shown at the top of the screen including things like: app download, app installations, SMS, e-mail and more.  Another example is the use of "widgets" like in the windows 7 OS.  There is a Ynet widget that shows news updates all the time.  There is no longer a need to open the Ynet app in order to get the main news. 
Of course the fact that it is a Google OS and it is open source has many advantages (which i am sure i will learn about as i learn more).  One thing i was amazed to see was in the Android store, where the Angry Birds app is FREE.  I also noticed lots of other apps that cost money in the Apple store are free in the Android store.  Making ringtones is also a breeze because all you have to do is pick a song from your library and make it a ring tone which one touch. 
The HTC is a phone that allows you to do so much more.  For example controlling the way apps run is possible in the HTC.  I can control how much memory each app will use and can also view the memory status of the phone.  These types of things are only possible on the iPhone after performing a jailbreak and adding some intrusive software.  If after a while i do not like the HTC version of the OS i can use someones version of the OS called ROM.  Any person can make there own special ROM and put it in the internet.  This gives me the freedom to choose a ROM that best suites my needs. 
The fact that there is no more need for iTunes or converting movies in order to play them on my phone is a huge advantage for me.  i no longer need to be worried about upgrading my iphone through itunes and having to reinstall everything on my phone. 
All in all i think that i am going to have lots of fun with this phone.  I will keep you up to date with my experience as a new android user.
