*** The Official HTC Desire (Bravo) Thread! ***

Considering it on T-Mob 18 months at £20 a month, paying £129 for the phone. I'm on O2 Simplicity for £20 a month now, so it would just be like a £129 upgrade.

Anybody give me the quick answer as to how quick I could get out of the Simplicity rolling deal? Am I going to have to wait 30 days before I can get a Desire?

I was on a Simplicity rolling contract, and you are able to cancel at any time you want. If you take your phone number with you, your contract ends when the PAC code goes through on the other carrier. In terms of what you pay, I believe that if you cancel before the end of a month, they simply charge you for what you used (i.e. a fraction of the usual bill depending on the number of days you are into the month) - but I'm not 100% sure about this so best to check when you call up.
 
You need to give 02 30 days notice to end your current agreement but there is nothing stopping you from getting the Desire today. If you want to keep your number then get your PAC from 02 and then get the Desire.

Hmm, didn't want to pay for the same month twice, I'll ring and check. Ta.
 
Any of you guys with the Desire already, live in Bristol at all? (City centre/UWE areas?) I wanna know if the 3G signal with the phone is good there.... since I'm currently at home in Swindon for Easter and can't exactly check :/

Do you mean on T-Mobile? If so you can use the coverage maps on the website to check.
 
Feel like a bit of a mug, sat there for a few minutes wondering why the mini-usb charger wasn't going in properly and actually tried to push it in quite hard a few times thinking it had to snap in. Hope I haven't snapped anything inside :(. Still giving me some sort of OCD that it's sitting out that much.

Apart from that little incident and discovering I'll need to grow my nails if I ever want into the back of it again. My first >£100 phone purchase hasn't went too shabby :D

Just a quick question. Did anyone elses come with a white sticker saying HTC VOID all over it? And also I wanted to double check if everyones mini-usb sat out slightly like mine as it seems quite loose and rocks to the left and right a bit.

Not got a Desire yet but the mini-usb is exactly the same on my Xperia X1. It sticks out a couple of mm and is slightly loose although doesn't fall out. It still charges alright, I thought it was just the design of mini-usb.
 
Does anyone know if 720p video recording will ever come to the Desire or not?

Seems a shame to leave it out on such a powerfull device.

Ah thats good to hear, but still quite annoyed at myself trying to shove it all the way in :D
 
bah! just got drenched walking to my local CPW (golders green) to buy a desire (after reading the post from someone saying all their local cpw had them in stock) only to be told that they weren't launching until tomorrow and that they wouldn't have stock in until next week...

can anyone confirm as to whether any cpw stores in and around central london have them as i may be tempted to go and get one early in the morning...
 
Walked into CPW at lunch today and asked if they had any. The guys response made me smile - 'Never heard of it mate'! I lol'd, smiled, said thanks and laughed my way out of the door!

How is it possible for someone to wotk in a large phone store not to have heard of the HTC Desire!

Rang t-mob and ordered instead. No stock though but told I will have mine Tues at very latest... fingers crossed before that!

Heh I did the same thing and got the same response. Then I said do you know if any other stores have any in stock as I heard the CPW in Glasgow had them in today (I read if in this thread). He checked the computer and had 1 in stock there - that he never even knew had come in! Never knew much about plans though so is holding it for me to go back tomorrow, it was lush!

Oh yeah, what is a good deal then? So I can take something back to him tomorrow?
 
just upgraded on t-mobile

£15 a month for 24 months, £40 upgrade fee

only 100 minutes, 100 texts + unlimited booster + unlimited internet - but i use my work mobile during the week.

just waiting for them to get stock in now... not had a smartphone since the vario2, looking forward to getting this one :)
 
got it from cpw today, got told they got the stock in today and would be offially launching tomorrow so I was the first to get it from there :)

the guy bought 1 out the back to show me before I bought it, I should have asked for a sealed one but walked out with the one he showed me. should I go back and get a sealed one or is it too late now(just been playing with it and logged into android market, set up the contacts from the sim etc)? the camera has fingerprints(I'm sure I didn't touch it).

in the top lef hand corner there's a triangle symbol with an ! in it, anyone know what that means?

how do you change the weather default? it seems to have set to burghfield, I'm sure it said reading(my city) initially.

trying to add my googlemail account but getting the cannot connect to server to verify, any ideas how to fix it?
 
went 24 months @ £15 per month and the phone for £129.
300 min/txt & 3Gb internet and booster - free t-mob calls so i wont lose credit calling the missus.

works out £5 cheaper than my current contract over the month by about fiver - £20.37.

Damn decent noting how good this phone is!

I would only buy a sealed one TBH, unless you had some type of discount.

Touch it and drag down and it should say what it is, probably a notification for Wi-Fi or similar.

You can change it if you go into the menu/settings. However, if you swipe upwards or downwards, it changes to any of the 5 preset cities ;)

Mine worked flawlessly, make sure your details are correct.
