After ridiculing people who have these dam smart phones i finally gave in the other week and got the highly regarded HTC Desire to replace my ageing Sony-Ericsson K800i. Now i always use my phone for an alarm clock and for years i have always set my alarm and then switched my phone off for the night so as not to be disturbed, yes i know i can put it on silent (but i might as well switch it off instead in that case) and every morning it has been clever enough to switch itself on and sound the alarm. So why the hell cant this all singing all dancing so called smart phone do the same thing with its fancy android software?
The desire does not have the best battery life in the world and if i forget and leave my charger at work and set my alarm before bed then i can conserve a little energy by switching it off until the alarm goes off next morning. I am gobsmacked to find that this £400 phone cant do this simple task
