    Just a tip for the future, HTC handsets all come with a 2yr warranty - pretty worthwhile if you buy a 18/24month contract and want to keep the handset until upgrade time

    They're not rubbish, Orange let you upgrade with 3 months of your contract left and the OP can't swap networks because.... (drum roll.......) they have 6 months of their contract left.

    oops, you're right! Should have read the OP a bit better... :o

    And thats because....they spend a large proportion of the time in repair.

    Four handsets a total of 29 WEEKS of repairs.

    I will never buy another - I've even been given a newer model which failed as well!

    I've had nothing but HTC's for the last 4 years. Not had a single issue with any of them.

    hope it stays that way, quickest repair on a handset now is 4 weeks - they were even on Watchdog for the same... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2011/10/htc_phones.html

    You're misquoting there - suggest you read the article before posting a link to it - only a small minority were affected and the problem has been resolved apparently ;)
