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

Its £449.95 direct from HTC:

http://www.htcdirect.co.uk/index.ph...ducts_id=789&zenid=mc4a908bp983hdedpq091i2ml1

Is that actually a site run by HTC?

EDIT: suspect not, it's a bit shoddy to say the least! Nothing like their polished preview site. Stuff like this http://www.htcdirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Interestingly though:

This product is expected to be in stock on
Wednesday 07 April, 2010. If a stock quantity is shown then you may place a pre-order to secure the item.

Yeh wth. The price has also gone up in Germany to 500 EUR.

Interestingly though:

Their conditions of use page mentions the company name as htcdirect.co.uk Ltd. A quick check of the companies house website appears to show no UK company of that name.

i am going to buy one of these so long as the video recording is half decent. I can get the VAT back too, and sell my hero so shouldnt cost much.

Pre order or wait thats the quesion.

I'm going to wait. I'd like to get my hands on the phone before buying one.

That's not tempting. That's a brilliant deal

[edit] Except it's £30. So isn't so good.

That's what I was expecting, the much cheaper prices banded around were a suprise.

All high end HTC devices (HD, Pro, Pro2 and HD2) are sold at £450.

 

[lsg1r]

or you could save nearly £30 going with my suggestion (assuming nothing changes)

 

[Amp34]

Well yeah, I was talking more of RRP.

Ah yeah, only had a quick look. Says it's a £25 deal, but then the rental's £30 :/

 

[mortals]

Looks like you can also get it on £15/m or £20/m (24month tho)

http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk....aspx?affiliate=affiliate_future&aff_id=23153

hmm tempted to get one & not even seen one irl yet

£20/m - phone is £59.99
£15/m - phone is £115.99

 

[crazybones]

Does anyone know whether the Desire will have the same scratch resistant screen as the Nexus One? I've not seen it mentioned in any reviews so far.

 

[Jabbs]

£15 month and £115 for the phone that's a bargain.

 

[Begbie]

Now the hard choice, this or the milestone!

Hmm

 

[Camalot]

Now the hard choice, this or the milestone!

Hmm

With me its this, N1 or the X10! Don't like the look of milestone at all.

I'm edging towards the X10 as that actually has a release date and appears on voda sites, and i like the look more than Desire
