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

Tried searching, but terms are too common...

Got a couple of contacts with names according to Google contacts, but it seems when I reboot, they get given their Facebook names - is this happening to anyone else or a known annoyance?


If it's anything like HTC Sense on the Hero, go to each contact, edit it, and there should be a 'facebook' item, either unlink them, then re-link them to facebook, it may give you some more choices when you do.
 
Sounds like it is more hassle to even bother giving your phone your Facebook login. Ill skip that bit when mine arrives I think.
 
Oh dear god lol...Tmobile just rung me up after i had cancelled my order a few mins earlier saying that i will have my phone tommorrow as they are expecting stock to come in at 430pm.

So told them ok ill give it till tommorrow and if it isnt here then i cancel simple as.

Just cannot believe how damn inept they are...cant even get their stories right.
 
Just Ordered from Phones 4 u

300 Mins
3000 Texts
500mb Data
Free Handset
£25/month for 18 months

If I refer anyone I get 50 quid, so if anyone else is going for this deal mention me and I'll split the 50 quid between us :)

Borich
 
I hope if it does arrive it is a trouble free ownership.

Can only hope as well...ive been with Tmobile for donkeys yrs now so i hope they dont mess this new order up lol...knowing my luck i probably wont have the phone tomorrow:(.
 
Just got my call from 3 retentions. Managed to get:

Free Desire
500mins
unlimited texts
1gb data

£18.75/month for 24months

Will be coming next tuesday, cant wait :D
 
I'm so tempted to cancel my o2 contract early and order from phones4u now. Contract ends in august so cancellation fee of £80 if i do :( But i would get that back from selling my phone..

The phones4u deal is (£25 x 18 months) is stupidly tempting as i want to move to orange for magic number anyway. + £35 Quidco..

I cant see me getting a better deal than that >.<

Bah

Can I ask you what your history with 3 is like? ie how long have you been a customer and what was your last contract with them? I think this information could be very useful to people on blog.three.co.uk who are all anxiously waiting to find out what they can get from 3.
 
Just got a text from Vodafone saying my phone has been despatched along with the courier tracking number and address of delivery. Very efficient!

Me too.

Although the fact it says anytime between 8am and 6pm is a bit annoying, but I suppose there is nothing they can do about that.

I was surprised what i got tbh.
I've only been with them for 18months, and was on a mix&max 500 so about £20 a month.

The guy on the phone said they only realeased it for current customers today.

I'll pop over there and tell them this!

There's a lot of confusion about it at the moment. They only just filtered it through to the customer service people and some still haven't got with the script.

Also, until the middle of next month all of the Desires are unbranded phones that they got in early (apparently according to customer demand). The blog appears to be run by people in the head office (it does appear on their corporate page) and they have been fairly responsive to the feedback given.

The feedback complained a lot about a lack of smartphones from the 3G-only carrier - until 2 weeks ago the Hero was the only Android phone. Now there is the Galaxy Portal, the X10 and the Desire. Then it was a complaint about there not being enough tariffs for the Desire so they added some lower monthly tariffs. Hopefully they'll listen to the next complaint that their prices are still not competitive.
 
Got a call from Tmobile again....they have the phones in stock...well they have mine so said it will be with me on Wed as they missed the shipping time today:(...they only got them in at 4.30 i think he said. Said that he will knock another £20 off the phone so from £144 its down to £122 which i paid on my debit card....good thing as i was about to cancel there and then.

So should have it with me by Wed latest...all depending on royal fail lol.

Anyone know if buymobilephones.net has unbranded phones? Il order one now if they do i think.

400 cross-network mins + Unlimited texts + 750MB of Mobile Internet Browsing + 50 Photo Messages • 24 months
• Magic Numbers • Orange Wednesdays
£ 25.00 a month
Phone is free + £30 topcashback

Out of stock at the moment but site says ~14th so not too long to wait..

Didnt think 500MB would be quite enough.. but cant justify the cost of tmobile for 3GB. I dont want any orange branding though.
 
Just rang up t-mobile and the guy I spoke to said they got a few hundred in today but they've all gone to fill the back orders they had. He couldn't tell me when t-mobile get the next delivery :(
 
Grrrr.

Just phoned up and got put through to the dispatch dept and was told there was absolutely no delivery of desires today but they hope for one later in the week although they don't have a date for it yet. I said a friend had been told one arrived at 1630 and he was expecting delivery tomorrow but no joy for me! I think I'm just going to have to put it out my mind and wait another week...
