Why have you created a new thread? The old HTC Desire HD UK release thread hasn't been removed. All that happened was you were warned by a mod over your behaviour. Just act like a grown up and move on. We don't need numerous threads on the same subject.

[SpencerUk]

Well Mobile Phones Direct have advised there will be delays and they will aim to ship end of October. Basically what we already knew;

"
PLEASE ALLOW 17 DAYS FOR
FREE CITYLINK DELIVERY

We are an HTC ultimate partner - HTC have advised of delays due to Android OS testing. Limited stock is expected end Oct and we will supply Desire HD on a first ordered first delivered basis. Order Now and receive a Free 8GB memory card.

The fact that they are saying you get a free 8GB card is amusing because HTC bundle it in anyway!.

I can see now that waiting for someone to get it in a store is going to cause me problems. If someone apart from Vodafone could start letting me pre-order on their websites I would

Very nice price AND free delivery!

But who/what is Dabs.com? Never heard of them. Are they UK-based? Are they reliable and trustworthy?

Shame they'll only be getting 5 handsets due in the next 3/4 weeks.

Not to mention you may even get some cashback with them which will drill the price down cheaper.

Morning SupremeBeaver,

that's too bad. but it's ok, already have a preorder with amazon. But thanks for that spencer!

 

[NineToTheSky]

I hate to muddy the waters, but I'm being tempted by the HD7 Windows phone, also due next week.

 

[deadite66]

WP7 doesn't interest me the interface looks cluttered and busy.

 

[mcnob]

Well the Android App Market is still playing catch-up with the Apple App Store so imagine how far behind WP7 is gonna be with apps.

That's the main thing that puts me off it anyway.
