I bought mine July 2011, 6 months ago. In Croatia, they were very expensive, so I bought it when it was on sale in Tele2 for cca 200 USD. Brand new, of course. :D

Now, running Aurora v4.1 and looks like a brand new again :D

What kind of upgrade? I've seen couple of guys mention upgrade in 2012 who have AMOLED? Can You please be more specifici :D ? Thanks.

I bought my HTC Desire the day it came out in Holland, which was in april if I'm not mistaken!

Really loving it! Rooted the phone the day some good ROM's came out with 2.2! Now I'm patiently waiting for a good ROM with ICS, Texasice and Sandvold are doing a good job :-D

For now I'm on Oxygen 2.3.2 and sometimes testing ICS

Got mine in August 2010. Loved it then, but the lack of internal space made me come to XDA. Currently running Sebastian15's Runnymede rom (4.0.2 SE) and exploring the possibilities of the Desire till the time I can get a new contract and phone (I think August this year). Looking forward to the Mobile World Congres in Barcelona in Febuary to see what new phones are coming out :)

I got my CDMA Desire in fall 2010, the first day US Cellular had them in. It's been an excellent phone, and I've been running Cyanogen Mod for most of the time I've had it. It's been quite durable so far, but after many drops I've had a few quirks lately. I actually really love the SLCD screen. For a Photography person, it's quite nice.

April or May 2010

Got my Desire as one of the first in Denmark I think. I paid an outrageous price for it, but it was just too good not to get. It has been with me ever since, and because it resembles the N1 so much, the developer community is incredibly strong.

Right now I am testing the latest CM9 build with hardware acceleration. It's really buggy, but I think the bleeding edge software makes it even more fun. If I don't like it, I can just flash something new.

Great device.
