    Best offer was:

    300mins
    Unlim txt
    1GB Data
    15m @ £25
    3m @ £35
    That's the same deal they offered you before. They're giving you a £10 line rental discount. Any and all line rental discounts end the day that your upgrade becomes available, which is at the end of month 15

    Vodafone need to make these things clearer really.

    (75mins/3000txt/1GB for £25/month) on an 18month contract is cheaper than (£25x15) + (£35x3) - Less minutes (no biggy) but no quidco (another £90 off) if ordered over the phone.

    Went for the £35 x 18months (600mins, unlim txt, 1GB) + £90 Quidco (if it tracks!) + I get a 20% line rental discount from work so £414/18months = £23/m average.

    Ordered it last Fri, big delays according to the Voda forums but just got an email today saying it's been shipped to store

    I went for the same tariff in the end for the Desire, should be in a store near where I work by the end of next week

    No Quidco confirmation yet though

    Me neither, says 48hrs but nothing, I hate Quidco for that, £90 is a big part of the purchase for me!

    Ended up getting the galaxy s, the desire is on a 2-3 week waiting list because of the short stock, getting the galaxy s means im also guaranteed an AMOLED screen as with the shortages HTC are switching to lcd

    Re: HTC Legend or Desire or something else?

    A fiver more per month isn't it? Have HTC switched to off then? Thought that was just a rumour at the moment?
    I did like the galaxy s but the extra per month and the fact its a Samsung put me off

    Drop me a pm with your number for that discount I mentioned.

    Well with what you mentioned it makes it exactly the same price as my old X1 tariff which I was happy with, the fact it was a little more but a better phone swayed me and the fact I wouldn't have to wait.

    I will do, getting my old number ported over Monday so hopefully it'll be cool to change over

    The Desire felt great.... but to me it was just a style difference with the tracker and physical buttons vs screen size and style, it's deceptively large too, it's only a touch bigger than a 3G iPhone and is actually thinner

    I'm looking at getting one of the motorola droids. It's a bit of a shame they have the camera bump on the x but i guess no ones perfect.
    Otherwise go for the htc desire.

    Re: HTC Legend or Desire or something else?

    apologies for blurry/flashed pics, only got a basic digital camera so quality wont be amazing

    The large images are video links





















    Big Buck Bunny video is in 720p avi format, direct from their website (free under creative commons)

    Game is Asphalt5 and the live wallpapers are "Nexus" and "Ocean Waves"

    More photos in next post (20 image limit)

    Uploading some video of Forza 3 shot with the camera at 720p atm

    Cheers for the pics mate, ordering mine Friday! Also due to the shortage of Desires... and a love of sheer processing numbers .

    No worries, the photos are with the stock UI, which I have been getting used to, also been trying a couple of other keyboards including swype which is great for one handed texting after a little use

    Shame I didn't have a proper camera + tripod or I'd show off some of the other features and performance in 3d gaming, check the nexus vs Galaxy S Quake 2 (possibly quake 3) demo to see what I mean
