    200Mb is a dangerously low allowance if you do use internet.
    Also, "£15 per month" makes no sense without saying how many months.

    £15 months on an 18 month contract

    Not to botherd about the net because i have wireless net at home, so will use the net on my phone through that.

    So good offer, or shall i haggle some more?

    Is Desire a better phone than the Wildfire?

    Desire HD is a million miles better

    Normal Desire is moderately better, it has a much better screen resolution and build quality.

    Wildfire is more of a basic one in terms of build and the screen resolution is much lower. It is however smaller in size.

    [quote=[Deleted User];43281172]Desire HD is a million miles better[/QUOTE]...and 40% heavier, 8 mm wider, 16 mm longer. Far too big for a phone IMHO.
    Normal Desire is moderately better, it has a much better screen resolution and build quality.
    In fact, twice as fast, with bigger memory and Android 2.2 vs 2.1.
    The build quality is about the same IMHO.

    I just got the HTC Wildfire for £15 a month. That;s on a 24 month contract with 200 minutes, unlimited texts, 250 Mb mobile internet, and free Orange home broadband.
    I'm very pleased with this deal:)
