HTC Desire HD
 

I've read that the HTC Desire Hd and some other good phones were coming to VM soon. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone heard anything about?
The actual offer is very poor and I might leave Virgin if new and better phones are not introduce soon as Im almost up for a renewal.
Ty in advance.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

That has been and gone, they only have the Wildfire at the moment or the X10 mini.

They did have the Nokia N8 when it first came out but nothing decent since, my contract is up in Jan/Feb so if the is nothing decent I will either go elsewhere or try a rolling contract on my old phone.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Was in the same boat as you.
Been with Virgin Mobile for ages but did not stock Desire HD. Did ask the question and the reply was January.
My contract expired at the start of this month and have now moved to Tmobile and have a superb Desire HD. Perhaps the best phone in the world!

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I have heard that new mobile are due to be on sale from Decemeber 20th and that includes the HTC HD Desire.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Thanks everyone for the reply. I really hope broadbandking is right or I'll have to move elsewhere.
Cheers

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Just seen on the VM mobile site, the HTC Desire is back on even if it's already out of stock! :-(

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

The desire has been out for ages now. HTC are so slow when it cones to updates as well.

Have you had a look at the new Nexus S? Looks like an immense phone

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Desire HD and Blackberry torch are coming to VM around end of December/Start of January.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Thanks Steven. That sounds good. :)

I doubt Virgin will get it... Anyway on many magazines the HTC Deside HD has been voted best phone of the year. ;)

Also I have had HTC phones for many years and always happy with them.

Thanks Tweedie for the suggestion.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Any thoughts as to which is better.:)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

No doubt the HTC! Read thousands of reviews on phones. Just buy any phone mag to check it yourself mate. ;)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I was just wondering about the Blackberry Torch though, but I feel it is a bit chavy.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I currently have the Desire and its the best phone I have owned so I imagine the HD version will be even better.

Not tried the BB Torch but it looks good and had great reviews.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I completely missed the HD bit.:erm:;):)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

i spoke to customer services yesterday 07/12/10 and was told htc desire hd will be available from the 20th of december and the nokia n8 will be back in the second week of december. aparently new samsung coming and also another new nokia. not bothered bout the others tho just really want desire hd. fingers crossed new handset for crimbo. all the best :xmas:

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Any idea what the samsung is? If it's the nexus s get it. The galaxy s was one of the best phones I've ever had so the nexus s will be even better

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

It won't be the Nexus S its only being sold by Carphone warehouse.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Sorry dont know what samsung it is. I never asked, but looked on their site today and its got nokia c7 listed as coming soon free on £25 a month tariff and also had the desire hd listed as out of stock but free on £35 a month tariff. That'll do me.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Can you post the link to those offers as I cannot find them on the Virgin Mobile site.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Masque all the new offers have been taken down! Dont know why... What's the point of putting them up than and remove them after few hours... :confused:

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

yeah they've taken em back off again. dunno whats going on maybe just getting the script written for easy insertion to their page. but it had desire hd free on £35 pm, nokia c7 free on £25 pm, samsung omnia 7 free on £30 pm, and samsung wave free on £15 pm. she did say on the phone that new handsets would be available from the second week of december and that between then and january they would be releasing 13 new handsets also the official release dat for the dhd on virgin would be the 20th december. just have to be patient now although mine's is wearing thin because ma old n95 is starting to go. so hurry up virgin!

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Some mobiles will be released on 20th December plus more in January, I know the HTC Desire HD will be released on the 20th December.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Ok here's what's cracking.
Just called VM saying I wanna renew my mobile contract and that I was interested into the HTC Desire HD. The girl on the phone told me it was already available but I had to speak to sales. I spoke to Rob at sales who actually said for that phone I had to wait till the 20th of December and as soon as it appeared on the website I could call in to get it.
I also asked what other phones were going to be released on VM, he told me:
- HTC Deside (also not the HD version)
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Blackberry 9800 Torch
- Blackberry Bold (should be 9780)
- Nokia C7
- Nokia N8 (re-instated)

Also I was told, some models (as per the HTC) very going to be available from the 20th other by the very beginning of Janueary (first week) latest!

So thats very good news and the HTC Deside HD is gonna be my xmas present!!! :D

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

You can always root it and update it yourself ;)

But obviously you do this at your own risk and you can kill your nice new phone :)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Here are the present offers for Virginmedia customers http://shop.virginmedia.com/existing...hly-offer.html

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Just ordered my HTC Desire HD! It's coming tomorrow already! Free phone, £.25 a month, 600 mins, unltd text and web! So happy!!! :)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

really? i ordered one yesterday and they've sent me out a standard desire having to send it back. woman confirmed at least six times on the phone that it was the hd but the confirmation mail said otherwise. raging. i'd double check if i was youmate

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Web site is now listing HTC Desire HD, but says Out of Stock.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I did check the mail. It says it will be delivered tomorrow but it doesnt say anything about the phone model. Funny enough. The guy on the phone (Chris) sounded sure of what the phone was and confirmed it to me.
When I called VM on the website was available. After I checked the site again and it said Out of stock. Maybe that one was the only one?

---------- Post added at 17:03 ---------- Previous post was at 16:53 ----------

Actually I've just rechecked and it's a HTC Desire no HD!!! Thanks mate. I am already on a phone to them and really fuming!!! :mad:

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I have just been on the phone and they say that the HTC Desire HD will be in on Monday and will not be released until the 24th as they have to check them out first.

The Offshore agent I spoke to first did say that I could order a HD now but once I got through to Teeside they said differently.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

dude good luck man i tried calling fifteen mins after making the order and they told me it couldnt be cancelled cos its in transit. wtf!! so now i gotta wait and not sign for it when u.p.s deliver then call on monday morning and arrange to have an HD one sent out. grrrrrrr so bloody frustrating, would help if their foreign sales staff actually knew what the phones were and could understand my bloody scottish accent! good luck buddy hope you get a better result than me man.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Unfortunately I had the same answer they gave you! Refuse to sign tomorrow and call in again! This is a joke! Im fuming now... Also spent 30 mins + 20 mins on the phone and I even get charged for that! Mate if you are at sales should know what to sell! :mad:

exactly man. well am just gonna wait til monday to call back then i know i'm getting the right one. see ye on the flip side brothers and sisters with our new shiney shineys lol merry crimbo all

:xmas:

---------- Post added at 17:58 ---------- Previous post was at 17:46 ----------

hmmmm strange one. seem to be getting lots of mixed info as i was told that it would be released on the 20th and delivered by the 21st. why would they release it on crimbo eve when no one can get it delivered to them until the 27th at the earliest? bit odd to say the least. VM's head of marketing really should be sacked as they truely dont have a clue how to sell anything. i get the feeling they've put some dodgey second hand car dealer in charge....terry tibbs perhaps :)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I had a good chat with the agent as I decided to go with my original choice of the N8 instead and I was on the phone for around 45 minutes and she told me her emails said the HD was to be released on Monday 21/12 and the likely sent out to customer day was the 24th via next day delivery via courier.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

yeah the mrs is waitin on her n8 comin a was kinda thinkin of just getting one aswell but dunno yet we'll see

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I think I was always going to get the N8 as it has everything I use on my 5800 and every other person in work has a HTC so went with my heart.

But for anyone wanting the HTC Desire HD ring up Monday 20/12 regardless of what the stock situation on the website says and get your phone ordered.

HTC Desire HD
 

I have just ordored the HTC Desire HD £20 a month 200 minutes
Unlimited texts 1 GB of web phone coming tomorrow will it have anddroid 2.2?

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Yes i think so, it won't have 2.3 gingerbread on it.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Although 2.3 has been released, HTC will have to lay HTC Sense over the top of it and then test. After that the Desire HD should get 2.3. But for now it'll have FroYo(2.2) on it.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and it's nothing short of brilliant, I upgraded from a Nokia 5800 and was considering the N8, really glad I went with the DHD.

BTW, just to clear up any confusion, I'm with 02, not Virgin.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

I have just started using this phone (T-Mobile) and have to say, its an absolute joy to use, i had the Standard Desire previously which was excellent, but this is even better :)

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Hi Andrew,
have you checked your email to see which handset you going to get? Because myself as some other users on this forum have called in to order the Desire HD but than received just a Desire! Hope you got the right one...
I have called them now for the third time and the phone is out of stock and can be ordered just from the 24th with delivery on the first week of January! Which wouldnt be ok as Im travelling on the 31th and want to take the mobile with me.
This is very frustating and I have lost money and time beyond this. The operator is going to call me back on the 24th but if she cant promise me the phone to be delivered by the 30th than I'm going to get the mobile from elsewhere.
:mad:

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

called VM today was informed there is no date for the release off the htc desire hd asked when it is due in, the operative could not give me a time scale except due in before the end off December this is getting ridiculous does anyone no if there is a definite date for release:confused:

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

Its meant to be out at the end of this week.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

thanks for the heads up Stephen:D

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

That isn't a definate though. It could well be the following week or it could be online only and not in stores.

Re: HTC Desire HD
 

just spoke to vm as received a text saying phone on way so phoned to see what they where sending they were sending x10 min pro,to replace my faulty x10 so told to cancel as i never ordered it .Spoke a nice guy who sorted it out but no realese yet for DHD told to keep checking website

---------- Post added at 20:42 ---------- Previous post was at 20:41 ----------

Re: HTC Desire HD
