But it is comparable, cost and specification wise to the Desire.

dunno about cost
its slower,
the screen isnt near as good(i cant emphasise enough how much its better on the desire)
its just gone 2.1,the desire has been 2.2 for ages
the keyboard isnt as good
the interface isnt as good
its bigger than the desire
i dont like the flappy usb port cover

same processor, more ram/phone storage in xperia

Older Desire, yes, it had AMOLED screen, this year HTC cut costs on the Desire and started using the same super TFT screen as the xperia.

True

the keyboard isnt as good
the interface isnt as good

Subjective, I think the x10 had a better keypad, but agree the Sense UI was nicer.

its bigger than the desire

So is the Galaxy S

i dont like the flappy usb port cover

Again, subjective, better than no cover.

Nothing to do with cutting costs, Samsung wouldn't supply HTC with AMOLED screens in sufficient quantity so HTC had to go to Sony.

They don't.

You have 3 mid range pay as you go phones listed, you had a top end contract handset. If they can't give you a Galaxy S or or an Xperia x10, then negotiate a reduction in your line rental if you have no other choice but to accept a cheap model.

Having looked through the phones on virgin website and realising there is absolutely no choice, I've reluctantly settled for the htc wildfire.
Ive managed to reduce my tariff to £20 for 600 mins unlimited texts and data plus one month free.
I think I would've been within my rights to cancel the contract but I really wanted to stay with virgin as my family are all on it and we get free calls etc.
Thanks for replies..
