TheElite Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 European unlocked Desire owners will be getting 2.2 Froyo this weekend according to HTC: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/official-htc-rolling-out-android-2-2-and-720p-video-capture-to/ I've also heard that you won't get OTA update notifications if the phone is rooted.

Google Shopping showed it was ?390 Get one off eBay, I got mine brand new and sealed in the box for around ?300. At the time that was ?80 cheaper than buying one directly from Three.

acnpt Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Theres one on eBay for 339 and it says Brand New. I want Brand New but for some reason I dont trust the price! Sounds about the right price, a little bit high tbh. I sold my 'as new but used' HTC Desire on ebay for £300. Although I guess Amazon is more hassle free, as if it were to be faulty, you wouldn't have to return it to HTC.

TheElite Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I got my bro a Desire around a month ago from eBay for £360 brand new boxed, with silicone case, screen protector and car charger. If you get it for less than £300, you're a lucky man. They're mostly around the £350+ mark.

Sir Topham Hatt Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Where do you even get unlocked ones. Even if you buy them PAYG they're still locked to the network usually. Amazon? I will look at getting one from there. Maybe eBay but I don't like the thought of using eBay :/ Current contract is up in November so I'll probably wait till September/October time before getting mine. At least Amazon will have (probably) dropped their price and have more in stock!

andrew_f Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I'm not sure whether to go back to the official ROM or not. I'm really happy with a mix of OpenDesire 3.0.1 and LauncherPro and not really missing Sense UI. Is there anything in this new release worth upgrading for?
