Any other HTC Desire/Desire Z owners about

We've just gotten the 2.3 update (2.42 to be precise) and i am amazed at how much better the battery is

I had the wifi, bluetooth, GPS (had a sat nav & GPS tracker running) 3g on, music playing & left the screen on for about an hour & had obly lost 14% of the battery, i bet pre 2.3 it would have been half dead....

Amazing how much battery those background apps take up & i'm grateful HTC had to chop a load out to fit them onto these phones :)

My only gripe though is the menu now looks disgusting :/ i dont like my apps tabbed into sheets, i like them all on one page

In fact all AMVs seem to use awful music so I don't see why you would use them to listen to music.
I don't, I meant people generally search songs for the songs on YT.

Out of interest does anyone bother with the rewards scheme on xbox? On another forum I go on a few people were mentioning they have received a few hundred extra microsoft points on there account that they wasn't expecting so I've just had a look and I have an extra 1250 points that I didn't know about. Anyone else had any surprise points?

How much stuff did you have to buy for that? I've not signed up because it looks like you get a pitance compared to how much you pay.

Well that's why im asking. I was only expecting about 2 hundred points as I renewed my live but I got over 1200 points which I wasn't expecting. Seems to be happening to a few people that's why I asked if anyone else has had the same.

EDIT: Just checked again and my points have gone up again to 2110.... somethings going on. A good something.

Yeah; I've never gained that much from it though as I don't buy from the marketplace often enough. I just an extra 100 points every five months via the monthly surveys.

Apparently a bunch of people have been getting random amounts of points. Seems to be a glitch. No points for me though :(
