HTC Desire HD has been confirmed for a November launch, so I'd hold off getting a Desire for now

Depends what is in the desire HD, you can upgrade the Android system to 2.2 free from the HTC site which upgrades the video to 720p HD.

Might find that the improved OS is all that you get in terms of capability.

The HD will be a bit bigger and heavier with a slightly larger screen, but other than that the spec seems the same as the current model. I'm not keen on a bigger phone, it's big enough already.

how do u upgrade via the phone rather than online? is there a way to do it

The only reason I'd hold off getting the Desire is because the price will drop when the new one comes out, it's still an awesome phone

gabbyevs goto Settings, About Phone, System Update, it'll update via wifi

Do Orange generally offer you a better deal with retentions than a new customer?
I am wanting a dolphin 30 contract with a free blackberry (no big deal as they are free from dolphin 20) but I want it for £25 per month rather than £30.00, is that asking alot?

robbies_gal

sems to be hit and miss bubby

atm they wont offer me any better than a new customer deal

Exhortation

Like all these places they'll have targets to meet and set periods to meet them in. At the beginning of each period they'll give nothing away but the closer they get to period-end the more chance you've got of getting what you want as their section heads will be pushing them to meet their figures. The best thing to do is ask for your PAC and then ring up two or three times a week during the 30-day period you have to use it. Chances are that at some point in those 30 days you'll strike lucky. Of course, your demands have to be realistic in the first place.
