Start off by rooting it through www.unrevoked.com You then install Clockworkmod from the market in order to install the ROM. ROm Manager is worth installing as well as it will allow you to download the ROM in the app. Then if you want to keep the HTC Sense look you can use Paul O'Brien's ROM...

Things will change with Android. Up until recently Android users have been tech savvy and only install the apps they have a real need for. This was partly due to the way apps were stored and the limited memory for that on the phones. There are ways now to move them to other memory, but again...

The stock ROM is pretty poor for batteries on the Desire range unfortunately. For the original Desire, rooting with www.unrevoked.com and then using something like the Cyanogen Gingerbread ROM (or Modaco Froyo one if you want to keep Sense) is much better on the battery. Also, if you root you...
