HTC Desire Price Drop -

[PJD]

Does the phone come with a pouch?

 

[lookseehear]

Actually, not sure, I was thinking of the N1 when I said it did.

I expect/hope it will come with some kind of a pouch though.

I have ordered a leather flip case also noticed that there is a user manual for the Legend on the HTC site but not for the Desire as yet
HTC Legend - User Guides

 

[PJD]

Why is the Legend more expensive than the Desire

 

[lookseehear]

I expect it's the unibody

sorry to pester this thread, but is handtec reliable? They have really good prices imo

There's a few people on AVForums.com reporting good things about Handtec. They seem to have the best prices and they actually state "Handtec Price Guarantee: If the price drops before we dispatch - email us and we will refund the difference" so it seems it'll stay that way.

I've just pre-ordered one from them so hopefully I'll be getting it in about three weeks time.

yeah im going to pre-order from them. Just waiting on a few reviews before i seal the deal. I dont want to shell out 450 euro without some solid opinions

Clove.co.uk is reliable, I bought 2 WM devices from them few years back.
And I also ordered HTC Desire from them.
It will be shipped to my country (west europe) for 22 GBP using Fedex.

I always buy UK version because I want an english version

yeah i saw it there too. But the thing that puts me off is that they dont accept Paypal. How reliable is that site?

Also anyone ever heard (or bought) from Handtec?

I have doubt with this kind of screen protector ... because of the capacitive screen.

Will this make the device less responsive? I can imagine that because the protector adds another layer.

That is not the case with resistive though.

As the screens are a similar size - HTC Google Nexus One Advanced Screen Protector | Screen Protector - Proporta

I'm sure Proporta will have them for the desire fairly swiftly, and if you ask they may even source them sooner.

Does clove use services like Paypal or google checkout? Or do they pull directly from you Visa?

 

[gogol]

No idea about that, I use credit card.
You can see the website, send email or call their customer support, they have one of the best customer service to my opinion.

I believe that all Android devices come with a lot of different languages built into it.

 

[lazarus101]

these guys ship internationally and they have the Desire available for pre-order for

If I buy the PAYG version then can I dispose of the sim card it comes with and use my own T Mobile sim card in it?
I only ask because it would save me

 

[Tye]

Just giving my question a little bump and asking another.
Do you think that the price will get any lower as we get through April? I don't know whether to buy it from MPD now or wait until the price drops a little.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Jack10, it is the same network but I just wanted to double check before shelling out so much =)

 

[Junch]

That's nothing. I just preordered mine from clove.co.uk for 330 pounds. THAT'S awesome.

Only problem is HTC is delaying all sim-free Desire stocks till April 13th ):

 

[Junch]

Oh sorry I forgot you guys may have VAT to worry about. I'm from Melbourne, Australia so... no VAT

 

[PJD]

Yes I ordered mine from Sim Free Mobile Phones and Accessories Store :: SuperEtrader their site says HTC Desire is NOW Shipping: 13/04/2010, the first shipment has been delayed by HTC. wonder if they have problems maybe they have started reading this forum about pink screen problems,batteries and other problems Hmm!
