HTC Desire HD (Ace)

I drive a lorry, nothing special.
I've got a couple of sales lead payouts to come too before christmas as well apparently, but they could be anything from £1 to £200 so I'm not counting them.
I am a service engineer and we get a bonus for not having an accident as well.
I don't know why I just thought of it as a bit odd. It's like a bonus for not doing your job badly instead of doing your job well? I know you get the same result regarding accidents but one sets a hard target while the other has the same hard target but encourages you to do better than that?
Anyway, back to phones!
Accidents are pretty inconvenient to truck drivers. And as you can't do better than 0 accidents it seems to make perfect sense to me

Does anyone know when shops will be getting these in to have a play with?
Mobiles.co.uk have the vodafone prices up!
Best deal I can see for the Z is.
£28pm | Free Desire Z | 500 mins | unlimited txts | 1GB internet
(After redemption + quidco)
Edit: the HD is £30pm for the same contract/free phone.
Not bad for release prices!

I don't understand these reseller websites. Obviously they're only able to offer these contracts at reduced prices because the networks sell them to them for even less - so why don't the networks simply cut out the middleman and offer lower prices themselves?

Because the vast majority of people cant be bothered with pac codes and the like and just upgrade to whatever when their contract is up. So why should the networks charge less when 95% of people just pay what they are asked.

But that's precisely it - the networks are losing money by going through these resellers!

Not really, like I said, some people are keen on bargin hunting and changing networks etc, these places cater to this.
Some people prefer dealing directly with the networks as they distrust the other resellers, why would they reduce the prices of their contracts when the vast majority of people just upgrade with the network when its time.

I just think that instead of giving a proportion of their contracts to resellers and thereby lose a lot of money on them (cause they're going for less than the network's price, and the reseller has to make a profit too), they could use that money to lop off a bit off their own contracts and lure all the bargain hunters THAT way!
The only conceivable use for it would be if a reseller could bundle the contract with a particular model of phone which the network does not have an agreement to sell, but I've never seen that so far - certainly when I bought a contract through one of those my phone came with Orange branding, so presumably the resellers don't buy the phones separately.
