The Desire was having hardware button issues. Hence the upgrade to the G300.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

BigHammer: After a bit of difficult negotiation (with the better half), I've just picked up another G300 at $239 to replace my old HTC Desire that the wife has been using. Been having a bit of grief with buttons not responding when pressed. (And no, I don't just mean the phone!)

Hmm I'm having no issues with mine. Has it been updated to ICS 4.0.3?

Yep thats a known issue with older firmware and will be fixed with the later Gingerbread firmware and Ice Cream Sandwich

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

I just picked up one of these, upgraded to ICS using the phone's built in update function without any problems. Amazing phone for the price.
