SB - thanks thought so - nice to see T3 getting it wrong as usual. Whats the point in providing a review thats inaccurate. Do your homework T3

Please delete? Posted same information twice...

 

[gabbyevs]

Yeah its brown / copper. Liking it so far, it's a big change from my old phone - a HTC Magic running 1.6. I think the screen is gorgeous and I'm enjoying the speed as apps and the internet were quite laggy on my magic. Still getting used to HTC Sense, but like it. Not 100% sure about syncing contacts with Facebook and Twitter. That all looks a bit messy, but i havent really looked at the options yet.

great stuff hoping to get mine tomorrow or wed cant wait!

Pretty weak article from T3.
Didn't mention the new processor or that it has more RAM...

Been to P4U this lunchtime and played with a real one. Very nice. Feels solid and obviously quite heavy.

I'm sure the screen is better than a normal LCD, didn't look too bad compared to my Galaxy S. The copper colour is quite nice too. Less intrusive than the copper on the original Desire.

Not quite sure what you're comparing but a lot of people do compare the straight TCO from an 18 month deal and a 24 month deal, which I disagree with.

You're getting 6 months extra line rental so it should obviously cost more. Although you are tied in for longer.

Anyway, not really directed at you but rant over.

24 months

*urgh*

I'm considering the official T-Mobile plan ..works out about

I've just called up my local Phones 4U and they have the HTC Desire HD in stock and available to buy outright! Simfree price is 450 and colour is dark brown/copper. At first she said i couldn't buy it simfree because it's brand new and just been released and i would have to wait 3-4 weeks but i told her i had called up other Phones4U shops and they said i could buy it simfree there and then (i lied!), so she put me on hold to double check. 30 seconds later she said yes i can come in and buy the phone simfree, not a problem at all! Hahaha! Result!!!

My advice, go to Phones4U pronto!!!!!

 

[karnka]

I think that more shops will be willing to sell sim free when there's a bit more stock floating around.

I have in the past seen that it seems to be at the manager's discretion whether they sell sim free or not.

I've been in a meeting all day and my wife just texted me to tell me she has went out and got me the Desire HD. Wife of the year I think!!! Can't wait to get home.

She could kick you in the nuts so hard when you are asleep, and you still will love her.Lucky guy!

 

[mcnob]

P'd off at Phones4U now. I gave them a hard luck story but they were still adamant that their stock (yes, they had some unbranded ones in) was only available with a contract.

Penny-pinching feckers.

[TheSuper]

Well that's me cancelled my order with GumMobile and i'll be getting my HTC Desire HD from Phones4U who have it in stock and selling it simfree for

 

[alameals]

oh my word.With me sending back the original Desire which they sent me by accident,it started a process of cancellation, so now I've got no contract with T-Mobile and if I want the HD I've got to sign up all over again.I won't be charged,to make sure of that I've cancelled the Direct Debit,bunch of idiots.Also on the phone then they said they won't have it till the 1st Nov

Pretty disgusting if you ask me, their f*ck up and it's you that suffers. You should try and mind out the email of their top brass and write and complain, you may get a months free line rental or something like that (if indeed you do decide to go with them)

 

[Nybras]

I've just been into P4U and they said they had none left after selling a few on Saturday. They asked me if i wanted a contract or just the handset, in which i replied that i just wanted the handset and they told me they would have some on Wednesday.

Im currently stuck in a 18 month contract with Orange with about 12 months still to go with a Hero. Anyone know of how i could cancel the contract or know of any schemes that will take on the contract for me, for example move the contract with P4U??

I've got till the 15th Nov to find a new phone because my Orange contract I cancelled yesterday,I just can't be bothered now though even hunting down a HD,truely gutted over it all.I'll just wait till it comes out now and there is decent stock I think and just pick one up,all my excitement has been shot down

 

[CheesyPeteza]

My wife got mine from P4U. The first sales guy said no, only on contract. She asked to speak to the manager and told him she needed it now as it was my birthday today (certainly feels like it). After a bit of a chat and her giving him some advice on presents to get for his girlfriend he eventually agreed for

I'd imagine that if you are desperate for the DHD, Orange will let you pay up the 12 months on the spot. Would be pricey though, probably as much as buying a sim free one in fact
