    Hi !


    I live in Canada, and want to get the HTC Desire HD which will be coming here soon.
    but

    - I don't want to buy anything from the cellular providers (I'm with rogers).
    - I do not need 3G since I have wifi everywhere.


    so considering all that my question is-
    should I
    1- buy now the current european version (that is not 3G compatible here) off ebay or pacific mall.

    2- wait til it hit the stores and then buy the same EUROPEAN version off ebay or pacific mall at a lesser price (hopefully it will be less, since the canadian 3g version will be out there as well).

    3- wait til it hit the stores here, buy it at full price from one of the stores in canada and spend another 20$ unlocking it. (probably the most expensive option- again, for a phone that I will not use its 3g capabilities)

    and no, I see no point waiting for the duel core phones.

    Thanks !

    In making a cost comparison you should take into account resale value. In 2 years, what would a 3g incompatible phone in Canada be worth compared to the Canadian version?
