    Have you checked you are actually getting a good deal?
    FREE???!!! I don't think so, it will be subject to agreeing to a further minimum term of at least 18 months :o

    I have just been through the same decision and finally chose the HTC Desire and am very pleased with it, internet is so fast on it and the phone looks really good :)

    I had a 16GB 3GS but opted for a change from Iphones and am glad I did!

    HTC Desire vs iPhone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S. The
    HTC wins again... http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/htc-desire-vs-iphone-4-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-702739

    If you want to be a sheep, have a sleek black design, with a weird covering round the attena of the iphone 4, constantly running low on battery as many have said, get the iPhone4. Retailers such as Carphone Warehouse do pay and go, monthly, handset only and refurbished handset deals.

    Of course...

    18 month contract
    300 mins
    100 texts
    unlimited internet
    unlimited landline

    As part of the retention those phones were offered for free. But the HTC Desire is £100/Samaung Galaxy is £200 - which I may be able to haggle down.
