Vodafone vs T-Mobile for DHD on contract ?
After what seems ages deliberating what phone to get, I have decided to get a DHD (my wife has a samsung galaxy s and has so many problems with it I have discarded that, and as the new Google Nexus S is effectively the same hardware, that is out as well!).

I am currently with Vodafone, but there seems to be better deals with T-Mobile. Can anyone comment on how the networks compare? Is one better than the other? My previous views have always been that T-Mobile was the poor relation, but I don't know if that's still the case?

Do they both offer the same download speeds through 3G, as I have seen some posts where it seems that the network operator sometimes restricts the download speeds - is this right?

Thanks for any advice......

Yes, T-Mobile do restrict speeds on their contracts sold by 3rd parties, though with perseverance you can get them to offer full speed, which they give to their contract customers (that are sold direct from T-Mobile)

Personally for me, 3 are the best for network speeds

I'm looking to buy a Desire HD on Ebay and saw a listing.

It's a Vodafone unwanted upgrade. Seller says the phone is simfree and there is no Vodafone network bloatware in the phone, but the Vodafone logo does appear at the start-up.

Does that mean the phone is still branded even if it's simfree and there's no Vodafone branding in the phone? Surely there would be no Vodafone logo at the start-up if it's a simfree handset from Vodafone?

Can anyone please advise?
