Desire HD/ HTC Ace? - Desire General

Hi,
I'm a Hero owner, looking to upgrade to the Desire in September. However, I was speaking to a guy in Phones 4 U, and he said that they are getting a HTC Desire HD in October.
Did a quick google and it seems to be the GSM version of the CDMA Evo 4G, and apparently it will be launched on September 15th in the UK?
I'm on O2, I called them and they have nothing in the pipeline, but say that they would have it if HTC are releasing it.... hmmmm....
So, anyone heard of it? Any ides what carriers will be getting it?
Cheers

I'm interested in the Desire Z/G2. It's been announced by TMobile in the States, but I want it sim-free, as TMobile reception is rubbish in my area (Suffolk, UK) - plus I'm in the middle of a contract anyway.
Anyone that has any info on the UK release dates/networks that will carry these phones, please share!

HTC P3300 or O2 XDA Orbit

Hello,
I'm a newbie to this forum. Yes, before you all say anything I know they'r the same thing, packaged differently.
Since I'm in Canada, I'll be paying full price for either of those two, unlocked ofcourse. Was wondering if there are any pros/cons to either those two and which one would you all recommend?
Thanks
With Artemis you should have HTC patches and upgrades, with branded devices you may wait longer (for O2, Orange... software releases). HTC officially announced WM6 ROM for Artemis and help for other brands if they will decide to buy WM6 license, but you don't know if they will...
Will O2 be offering a WM6 upgrade? Someone just posted that O2 will not be offering an update. I'm wondering if I shud get O2 or not. I really like the Orbit, but now im confused.
O2 havo no plans to upgrade for now, but they don't say no for ever - so we don't really know...
I've ordered HTC P3300 only because everything seems confirmed for it, plus I'm getting it with all North American maps. Will let you guys know when I recieve it in a few days.

Unbranded Touch Pro 2

Several readers are wondering when the new HTC Touch Pro 2 will be released by carriers, and which carriers will offer it.
HTC is currently planning to ship the HTC Touch Pro 2 to European customers in late May or early June, featuring Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and the latest version of TouchFLO 3D. FCC recently revealed that HTC is also planning to offer an unlocked version of the HTC Touch Pro 2 supporting AT&T's 3G network this summer.
I have also included the link. http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/10233.html
that's great news!!! I'm really thinking of buying an unlocked one, but only as long as it supports AT&T's 3G network. the only thing holding me back is that if I do buy an unlocked one I won't have any insurance or warranty on it. wait, does anyone know if any form of insurance or warranty is offered if you buy an unlocked version of a phone?? (sorry I've never bought an unlocked phone before) cos it's getting pretty hard to wait for fall to come so I can buy the subsidized TP2. and plus, by then AT&T will most likely have messed around with the hardware and appearance of the phone.

Im in the same boat. I prefer an unlocked (untampered with) phone, but worried about the lack of Warranty
I have bought a Tytn, Tytn II and a Touch Pro direct from HTC, certainly in the UK their warranty is good, its longer than a year certainly (I think 2 but dont quote me). I will be getting the Touch Pro II direct from HTC again, Im bored of being held to ransom by the operators.
i know that if we buy an unbranded TP2, it will more than likely come with a 1 year manufacturers warranty. that sets me at some sense of ease. but does anyone know if an unlocked TP2 will support U.S. AT&T's 3G bands? i've been hearing 2 different answers: some say it will some say it wont. can anyone supply some evidence? i'm trying to compile all the evidence and reasoning i can so i can make my final decision as to buying it unbranded or just waiting for a subsidized version that i know will work with AT&T's 3G bands here in the U.S.
also, does anyone know if HTC will sell it for less or more than those sites like expansys and such?
If they release an unlocked one directly to the US, I am sure it will support either both AT&T and T-Mobile, or they will have 2 separate ones that support either.

HTC Desire From T-Mobile

Hi,
I just ordered a HTC Desire with T-Mobile (directly with them)
Just wondering if anyone else has done this... I would like to know if there is any T-Mobile logo branding on either the front or back of the fones case???
Appreciate your help
I am in possession of one of the very first batch that T-mobile shipped on Friday March 26th. It has no external branding. I don't know about later ones.
use search function mate, there is 10+ users with desires from t-mobile on this forum and everything has been said already
anyway apart from the intro theres no tmobile branding
Ok thanks for the info meson1 & cez10

HTC Desire coming to Telus

The Desire is coming to Telus mobility (Canada)
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_desire/index.shtml
I've heard rumours of the release date being August 8th
canada still have not the desire? poor guys
Be the time the Desire gets to some places it will be getting replaced in others! Still, at least you're getting it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah Canadian carriers are brutal for getting phones.... We just got the Legend and the Droid (milestone) and now we get the Desire.
Never even saw the HD2
At least I can hope the Desire isn't locked down here!
I just wish Telus would release the details on it already.
The rumors are that it'll be priced pretty low, and I'm getting excited about picking it up.
I missed my chance buying from the Nexus One online store, and just found out about this coming soon.
Hopefully the hardware won't be branded, & it will be easy to unlock. It'll be my first Android phone.
I hope it isnt branded either....
I've heard itll be 79.99 on a 3 year
You can get an unlocked Desire 8183 from several places and run on Rogers network. I did a couple months ago and works great! Just input APN settings for Rogers and you are good to go.

Anyone with a Softbank Desire debranded and gone to Froyo yet?

As per the title, just wondering if anyone with a HTC Desire here in Japan has debranded their unit? I know the carriers take a bit of a hard line against unofficial phones or phones that have been modified. I'm mainly worried about losing my unlimited data plan - several people who brought Nexus One's over here found the hard way that their data cap wasn't honoured based on the fact that their IMEI wasn't a model that was purchased from the carrier. This is a practise which is illegal in some countries but here in Japan they get away with it!
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else here in Japan has debranded yet?
