A great in road to android, its showing its age a little now as the cpu/gpu/ram arent quite up to the standard of modern phones but it can comfortably run gingerbread as a day to day os, everything works, sat nav, camera the lot and its a well built phone with a good keyboard

all in all if youre looking for a very cheap (£50-£75) solid android phone you could do far worse than picking up one of these, especially if youre a fan of hardware keyboards like me, but personally im feeling the pinch of the specs so it may upgrade time for me but i couldnt have asked for a better introduction

Hi, bought recently an htc dream. Question: how do I move applications from phone ( where they are saved automatically) to sd card? I understood that I need a certain application ( sth like ``move to sd card.app``) but I could not install any. I wouldn`t like to upgrade to 2.2. Any advice?

There is no official upgrade of the htc dream to any android higher than 1.6.
Your only chance is an unofficial like cyanogen mod. You need to downgrade to 1.5, become root, install a flashing utility, and off you go.
Upgrade to 2.1 certain, possibly even 2.2 or 2.3. Will void your warranty and may brick your phone, but well worth it if it works.
Good luck! :-)

Hiya Tactu mare, you are both right and wrong in what you said as some providers rename the handsets that are on their network for example htc dream = t mobile g1 htc Hero = t mobile G2 and ZTE Blade = Orange Sanfransisco, look it up dude :-)

> In reply to jewel @ 2011-01-18 12:48 from 9xEm - click to readYou need to setup your Access Point Name (APN). You can find this under Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> press Menu button -> New APN

Depending of the provider you are on you need to fill New APN fields. To get this data you can look on the internet or call your provider.

After you are done, just find the application Toggle APN and click on it. This should activate your 3G Internet access within 30 seconds.

Hope this helps.
