    Hi All,
    I had a quick scan there and couldnt find anything of interest.
    Just wondering if anyone can recommend an "elbow strap" or something that could be used to hold the desire when running (that also allows it to be easily viewed and has a bit of protection from moisture).

    Also, has anyone been able to find a decent accessorie that allows the desire to be "attached" to a car dashboard?

    bought a spare battery and a standalone charger for the battery off ebay. handy when your away etc.

    got a cheap rubber case too but find they're dust magnets.

    I havent been able to find one of those strap pouchs that you see with some other phones. I do a bit of running and would be very handy.
    The dash holder would also save a bit of hassle in the car as well.

    The desire is very similar in size to an iPhone so you could try an iPhone arm band and see if it fitted.

    For instance, I have my Desire in the coloured iPod socks. Just for that little bit of iPhone <> Desire controversy. :)

    I would just be happy to get a Desire itself... cannot get one anywhere at the moment; in vodafone stores anyway.

    I've ordered a few bits and pieces of E-bay - albeit a store in Hong Kong, so they could be absolutely rubbish. They were exceptionally cheap however.

    I also managed to get a 32 GB Micros SD card for less than 20 euro via ebay. Probably a crock o ****e but seems to be legit.........

    eBay 32 GB microSD cards are generally 4 GB in reality, playing on the B/b confusion. Or just plain up lying.

    Anyway, the only genuine 32 GB microSD out right now is a Class 2 by SanDisk, and it's around €100.

    I bought a few bits off ebay last month. I got a rubber case and 2 screen protectors for about €5 shipped and then i got a leather case + a car charger + a windscreen mount for €10 shipped.

    The leather case is fine quality wise but I don't like using it. The rubber case is used daily but as mentioned above, it is a bit of a dust magnet. The car kit is really top notch very pleased with that.
