can i ask why did you order a legend, im looking at getting the legend but waiting for orange to get a move on

Just think its a bit sexier :cool: Seriously though, found the Desire a bit unwieldy in the hand, this has been quoted as a very nice piece of kit in the hand, so we'll see

my SIM-free Desire still awaiting stock from Mobile Fun...looks like I've got another week to wait

Does anybody know if it is possible to connect the desire to decent speakers?

I am looking at this as an alternative to getting an iphone as it works out much cheaper but would be interested in hooking up to speakers/dock if possible in the same way as you could with an iphone.

Anyone tried this or has any experience - I imagine you could hook something up with the 3.5mm jack but am unsure whether there's any decent quality speakers out there.

Many thanks.

My 2 pence worth:

Round one. Got on the phone to Orange and came off a very unhappy bunny

After doing my usual 'ive been with you 10 years, done my research, seen a great deal with T-Mobile' rubbish, told the guy who i was speaking to (Jamie in retentions) that im after the HTC Desire and interested in the Panther tariff as its unlimited internet on an 18 month contract.

Well after a minute or 2 he comes back with this -

Panther 18 months
400mins

Unlimited Internet

Free Handset - £35 per month!!! :eek: (Total spend £630)

When i said thats terrible ive been offered something much better with T-Mobile, wheres my loyalty and discount for my spend with you? he said well i've knocked off the price of the handset so thats saved you £50 - i nearly laughed at him. After spending the next 10 minutes arguing the toss with him and then telling him i could get a £20p/m tariff for 18 months with paying £100 upfront with T-Mobile he got all shirty with me and said its because of the cost of the handset and its a panther tariff with high data allowance and it'll be cheaper on the Dolphin with a 500MB data cap. At this point i had the right hump and told him to tell me what he could do on the Dolphin tariff. After some very vague information i pinned him down to this

Dolphin 18 months
600 mins
Unlimited texts
500MB Internet
Free Handset - £25 p/m (Total spend £450)

Which i thought was actually pretty good but seeing as i want the unlimited data and didnt get why the panther tariff was so much more (and the fact this guy already suggested i take my PAC number!) i said no and got off the phone with the hump

After a nice de-stressing cuppa i decided to give it another go and try and either get a better deal or find out why the Panther tariff was so much more. Spoke to Louise this time in retentions. After giving the speech again and telling her how unhappy i was with the last conversation she went away and a couple of minutes later came back with the following. Now she started by saying this is the best deal i can give you and its a 24 month contract and i very nearly told her i wasn't interested before i heard it -

Panther
