Sim free is £429.99. Why is it cheaper than PAYG?The PAYG prices on cpwh are still £549
PAYG seems to still be in stock while simfree is on preorder.
The new stock might have a cheaper price direct from Samsung?

£429 is more like it, £549 was just milking it

£429 sounds much better! Maybe the big G had some words with Carphone Warehouse. That or they realised people would get it from the US as it would be far cheaper.
Soldato
hopefully other retailers will be able to stock it and then we might get some price wars, allowing one shop is a bit mean really... where is the competition ?
Soldato
I think im going to get this phone 
Any ideas how long the pre orders will take ?

Eh? No different to every other piece of hardware out there.

£400 for a graphics card that is overkill and outdated in 6 months?
Stupid comment really

Completely agreed, this has to be the most overrated phone on the market.
Cheap plastic Samsung crap, like the Galaxy S and Gingerbread doesn't address any of Androids current issues. If anything, its only a positive for developers, but development on Android has hardly been slow.
No SDCard slot, no LED notification system, and features still missing in pure Google that you can get on a cheaper handset via manufacturers UIs.
The attraction this phone is generating will not be unique once other phones get Gingerbread.
Soldato
I can't wait to see what HTC do with Gingerbread, considering the latest sense already has some of the features, like the text selecting.

I'm a massive fan of Sense, well the one that comes with the stock HTC Desire, however I don't like the direction they're taking with Sense on the DesireHD.
As you say, Sense 1.0 was all about adding features that quite frankly, should be in ASOP and adding a polish that ASOP just doesn't have.
However Sense 2.0 appears to be all about HTC's commercial interests, rather than the consumers user experience.
Bundling trialware and licensed applications, such as SoundHound and navigation is something I don't want. Thankfully because I'm a geek, I can remove them but the average consumer will be stuck with them as they're installed on /system.

I'm of the same opinion, I would have been one of the first in the queue if htc had been making them.

Several months down the line nobody is going to look twice at the Nexus S with the kinds of phones LG and the like have been showing off recently!
I wouldn't even expect to get £200 for my Desire then too so might as well get the most out of it now!
