Anyone using a 3 branded HTC Desire?

Hi, I am thinking of buying the HTC Desire using 3 network, however with previous experiences of 3 branded phones, they tend to have this annoying 3 button set on the main screen, ruins the image of the phone I believe. I was wondering for those with 3 branded HTC Desire, what differences are there with an unbranded phone?

Thank you for your help!

    Hi,

    I have a Desire but it's unbranded so I can't help you there.

    Is there a 3 shop nearby that you could go and have a look at? I assume, so don't quote me on this website that the 3 button would be a widget that you can remove - but best to check

    Not sure about others but my HTC Desire HD came from "3" with stock HTC firmware.

    There IS a "three" app but all that does is turn off the wi-fi and connect to the "three" website via 3G.

    But if it does come with any branding you can easily flash the stock HTC firmware and get rid of it...
