Going to try the Carphone Warehouse in oxford street and see if i get any luck.
[Desire General] K 7:
I got myself 1 from Carphone Warehouse - on charging...

I got mine from the 3rd one I visited, 1st one said they can order 4 me, 2nd one said it's only available on contract, 3rd one after discussing with manager gave me on on PAYG...

That's true... some are, some are not.

Same here, couldn't wait till April 7... Oh well still have 2 cancel my order from clove.co.uk...

K7
[Desire General] dragon_soft:
I just drove straight to the carphonewarehouse in trafford centre and got myself a Desire!!!! On charge now, no sleeping tonight!!!!
[Desire General] n-j-f:
Did you get it? Can you just confirm that it is still a simfree phone with no Orange branding or bootup logo? I assume it is just a standard phone that they will normally only sell as an Orange PAYG or contract?
[Desire General] pee_cee:
Yes i got it. Sorry was playing too much to post here last night.

Its HTC branded, not an orange in sight. THey made me buy the £10 PAYG sim though, but will probably just give that to my gf. I'm on Orange contract anyway, so my Orange sim works, but the shop guy says its unlocked. I just don't have another sim to try.

It came with a 4gb SD card in the phone, not in the box, so its a good job i didn't buy one!
[Desire General] IanVaughan:
HTC Desire has Software Problems

and here
[Desire General] profet:
Just called T-Mobile sales - they claim to be releasing the stock in the next half an hour. I can't imagine they are lying cause it would only take half an hour to find out! So, phone now, and you might get it before Easter!
[Desire General] who_me:
Thanks for this info...got a friend to check it out in London for me but he says they've only got it on Orange payg (not sim free) and they couldn't officially sell it until yesterday (?) as official release date is today (??) - so he's reserved one for me.

Is there any orange firmware on it?

Does anyone else have an orange payg version of this phone that they could try a different sim in? As my next question will be whether it's unlocked or not as I'll need to unlock it as I'm on o2.
[Desire General] IanVaughan:
I just phoned, and they said no stock now, and I will get a call when it comes in!

As my previous post, I now know that they are just stalling us until the software bug is fixed!
[Desire General] profet:
I don't think so, but I guess we'll find out in the next 24 minutes :-)

No one seems to have a clue what this software glitch actually is, so it can't be all that serious. Many people have this phone from T-Mobile already and I've not heard any real complaints.

Besides, I've been using a WinMo 6.5 beta ROM, ripped from a totally different device, patched, cooked and squeezed onto a Touch Pro for the last year or so, so I'm pretty good at living with bugs.

edit: 5 mins left T-Mobile - don't let me down...

edit2: not impressed...

Availability

All Carphonewarhouse stores have accsess to stock if not on the shelves allready. i work for them in the south west and all our stores have stock.
[Desire General] oawalker:
Finally

Finally got back from carphonewarehouse, the first shop said i need to top-up £20 because that was the only option on the system, so went to the other one around the corner and they said i could get it with the £10 top, but the orange systems were down so he sold it to me for £399.99 without top-up so basically a sim free phone :)

and now i have the phone going to charge it up now :D
[Desire General] nubbin:
That's what I did yesterday. I couldn't wait(!) so I cancelled my pre-orders and went to CPW. My local store had just 2 Desires in stock, unlocked to all networks, and a £10 top up, which I'll use in my car phone.
[Desire General] who_me:
Any chance you could let us know whether there is any orange firmware on this phone and indeed if it is sim free (or locked to network)? :D
[Desire General] Clivectmob:
Oh GGod, still waiting for mine to arrive !!!!!! Phoned CPW today to track order as their "where is my order" site is down, and its on a van for delivery, just not here yet. He wants to blinkin hurry up, i wont sleep till i've played for at least a few hours lol. I'm twiddling my thumbs off here....

AFAIK all CPW phones are generic handsets. Always have been. I've never bought one off them thats locked to any network to date.
[Desire General] firedup:
he he he.

Sold my first t-mob sim locked one on ebay, have reserved a PAYG one at cpw and will be picking it up this afternoon. I'll let you know ASAP about firmware version and any branding, although I'm sure someone will beat me to it by then...........?:D
[Desire General] oawalker:
Yes it's sim free i am using my o2 sim card in there now, and there is no orange branding on the phone
[Desire General] firedup:
Cool...any chance you could post your firmware version?;)
[Desire General] oawalker:
there no branding on the phone it self and it's sim free and there is no orange branding in the phone software
[Desire General] oawalker:

Just cancelled my order from clove and brought one from the CPW, paid £399 which is pretty much the same price as clove apart from i have it over a week early.

Definately no orange branding of any kind and fully unlocked.

Bargain.

hehe...you were right, someone did beat you to it! ;) Hope you're enjoying your new gadget!

EDIT: Oh what colour is the HTC Desire on orange payg? The bronze/brown one or the black? Thanks :)
[Desire General] Cronnie:
My local CPW has stock, going to cancel from Handtec and pick one up tomorrow morning.
[Desire General] IanVaughan:
I meant I rang three, not rang 3!
[Desire General] giz2003:
most carphones have stock of at least 5 units. trust me.

they also have it on PAYG for 399 +£10 topup

cheaper then buying offline, also all phones from carphone are sim free regardless what network you get it on.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shooi:
Hello,

Just moved provider from O2 to Orange so thought I'd debrand the trusty old X1 and install the R3A Generic UK ROM.

Unfortunately the web site hosting the latest X1 original ROMs has blacklisted them as potentially copyright material (somebody might want to check this) so I couldn't download the R3A image.

The site hosting the R2A image was ok, though, so I thought I'd download the UK Generic R2A image and then just upgrade using the SEUS.

All went fine until I ran the SEUS which has informed me that I already have the latest image and that there is no newer image available.

Any ideas? I don't really want to have to put the O2 image back on to run R3A

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
check and dl here

Ed. I just learned the dl is currently prohibited, as rapidshare has the file locked due to possible legal reasons ("This file is copyrighted and may not be distributed without permission of the copyright holder. We will direct you to RapidMovies, where you can buy upcoming games and movies legally online."), that's tricky...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shooi:
Yes, I'd noticed that the firmware had been blocked. Sorted it, anyway - seems that when you change the ROM you need to load the phone back up before SEUS realises you've changed it (even though the ROM was UK Generic R2A, SEUS thought it was UK O2 R3A!).

So, reloaded R2A, loaded the phone, went through setup, then ran SEUS on it and it's now on R3A UK Generic.

Done!

Hey everyone,

I have spent the last 2 hours looking through threads for the most recent update for the tomtom navigation on my tmobile htc hd2, but I can't seem to find anything! I have heard some rumors that you can download the program but not maps for free?

Is there a way to download both for free? If so, where at? Also if you have information, I know you can't post on the blog so please PM me.'

Thanks!

Whats up with that demo racing game? It runs as if the HD2 has a 350mh proccessor!

Just bought Asphalt 4 which is a little better but runs as if the HD has a 400MH proccessor. Looks and runs choppy, what's the problem????

Is the HD2 not for 3D RACING games???
[HD2 General] angeland:
Mine worked just fine (no problem quickly running into walls and cars) for all of the 200+ seconds I was allowed to play it.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
ive got asphalt 4 its pretty good runs fine, i got that and about 15 other games work great, there is a thread on the leo wiki about games check it out, no link sorry on my phone
[HD2 General] Caliban007:
I've had issues with that game and with the sounds not syncing up in the Millionaire demo too. I have the dutty's thing running (thank god because I loved this on my 8525) so no other tasks are running in the bg and I still get skips in the racing game.

I also installed the 3D patch, but I haven't tried the game on the "Anti-Stutter" mode yet.
[HD2 General] JasjarMan:
have you guys ever owned the iphone? does the game run as smooth as on the iphone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
I'm sure there's been plenty of posts regarding this (and I'll probably get some flack from moderators), but I thought I should revisit this issue and get everyone's thoughts before I jump on the bandwagon.

Anyone here got the dreaded text, automatically switched, or loss data services altogether simply because you were using the AT&T $15 MediaNet plan? Or better yet, the $10 family plan?

I'm on the $15 plan that was originally used by a lowly 3G featurephone, and have never upgraded to a branded smartphone with AT&T. Just wondering if there are folks with my same situation who've taken the plunge into Nexus One waters. So...are you still swimming? :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nephroid:
I've had the $4.99 T-Zones plan since 2008 and it still is going strong. I've never bought a subsidized phone. Not one single complaint. Not on AT&T obviously. Oops.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
In short, your account needs to have smartphone exclusion on it to prevent your data plan from jumping to the $30 smartphone data plan. If it doesn't have this rare SOC code, it's difficult to get, and you won't be able to do much of anything to stop the change from happening.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
I'm aware of the smartphone exclusion status. But no one seems to have a clear answer as to "how" to get that status. Multiple stories abound: I've heard that you have to have had a smartphone with no data prior to Sept '09. I've also heard that folks who have a dumbphone (featurephone) with a 3G data plan ($15) are also excluded because they've never upgraded to a branded smartphone thru ATT. I'm on the latter situation. Does anyone here used to be on the $15 MediaNet+dumbphone combo and are now using a Nexus One?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
If it helps, I never purchased ANY phone through AT&T since I started service with them in mid-2008 since I always used unlocked phones and I still got hit with the text. The only reason I have the smartphone exclusion is because I called AT&T when they switched my data plan automatically and pitched a huge fit. I still can't get them to add it to the other line on my account.

So I guess try to talk to the customer "solutions" team about canceling your service and see if they'll add it for you?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rome425:
I am using AT&T Nexus One from the day they were out (about 3 weeks now), I am still on $10 family MediaNet plan.

I have never bought smartphone from AT&T, perhaps that is the reason, or they haven't done their sweep yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
That makes sense. But have you, or ever, upgraded your plan from a $15 to a $30 plan, and then back down to $15? (Or something to that effect.) I'm just wondering that since you never bought a device from them, a change in your data plan might also trigger the auto-switch? Just covering all bases how an auto-switch (or change in the smartphone exclusion status) can be triggered by either device upgrade or data plan upgrade thru AT&T.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Excellent! Good luck on that. Please keep us posted if the status on your data ever changes. I'm gonna try using the N1 under the $15 MediaNet and see how much mileage I can get out of it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squeaky369:
Well; I have some bad news for you guys that think your getting lucky by tricking them.

At&t does not have this phone registered in their system. So if you call them and have them change the IMEI number to reflect this phone, it will come up as unknown. So the only option they have for a data plan is the $15 plan ($10 if you have a family plan).

The only reason why I know this: I came from an iPhone to this, so I had to call them and change the IMEI number.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but as long as At&t does not register this in their system, we will get the cheaper plan.

And usually, unless they sell it, they won't register it. So we are good to go for the life of this phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
You should have a look at: AT&T automatically addining $30 Smartphone Data plan to the unbranded Nexus 1!?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
I'm glad you asked because I did buy two 3GS's from them and flipped them on eBay for a ridiculous profit. I had to call AT&T right after I bought them to have them remove the smartphone data plan since I wasn't using the iPhones anymore.

This could be part of the reason why my account triggered the change.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
I have been on a grandfathered-in mediaworks package for ~8 years now ($20 for unlimited data, 1500sms and 200mms). AT&T has never once changed my plan on me and they never will. I'm out of contact :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superninjaquan:
I had the T-Mobile version on ATT shortly after the tmobile versions launch. I was using the 10$ medianet plan for about a week until I got the dreaded text. I thought it was a glitch so I went online and changed it back. A few minutes later, I got the text again. I sold my nexus and bought a milestone until the ATT version came out. I came to the conclusion that I would pay for the 30$ smartphone plan if I was using the ATT version because I would be getting 3G. I just got the ATT version in today and havnt switched plans yet. My buddy works for ATT and asked for my IMEI number to get credit for the switch from medianet to smartphone plan. He called me back saying that my new ATT nexus' IMEI number wasn't registering meaning I could use the media net plan. There have been some rumors that ATT put a cap on the speeds of the media net plan, so he asked me to run a speed test. My speeds show that I was getting normal 3g speeds for my area(786 dl). Ill post again if ATT gets ahold of this batch of IMEI numbers and auto adds the smartphone plan.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruthlesset:
Do you get 3G with t-zones?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Excellent! That definitely got me on the bandwagon. Just ordered the N1 and should be getting it Wednesday. I'll keep ya'll posted with the hopes that the IMEI batch for these new N1's will be kept hidden from ATT. Good luck to all!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Incredible! Grandfathered plans are always the best. How long have you had your N1?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vash63:
I'm confused... Why were you guys giving att the imei #s? I bought my tmobile version unlocked through google and never had to let tmo know... I just dropped my SIM card in from my G1 and went on my way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
So how much data do you guys get for $15?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadhead:
UNLIMITED*

Spoiler content hidden.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Tons. Lotsa lotsa tons.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
We don't. Well...at least I don't. I suspect that AT&T couldn't detect the new N1s because it was actually meant for a foreign market. In this case, Rogers of Canada. Just my speculation of the reason why ATT hasn't been able to detect or have the IMEI in their database. Good for us! Bad for them. But how long until they actually get the IMEI batch in their database?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmow:
My most recent history (last 12 months anyway):

1. Bought iPhone and switched to $30 plan.

2. Inserted into Moto L2 to get $10 family data plan for web devices

3. Inserted back into iphone, continues to work (however with MMS flag)

4. Switched to Rogers Magic/MT3G, still on $10 plan

5. Switched to HTC Nexus1 (AT&T), still on $10 plan after two days.

MMS Flag = when ATT banned MMS from iPhones

I have no reason to believe they'll switch me to a $30 plan, however my brother bought a backflip for example, and I'm not sure if the trick will work. My understanding is that they'll start checking IMEIs. In addition, I'm in South Florida, just in case region affects the case.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
I've had $19/mo unlimited 3G plan for about 4 years now, since I got it with a discount on their 1-day promotion thing on christmas.

I've asked AT&T rep directly about it - she confirmed that auot-switch is all rumors, they are not allowed to switch plans on your phone without your consent. And she said that actually many people still have these grandpa plans, and they can't/won't do anything about it.

When I talk to AT&T, I don't hide that, and they don't mind. Still $19/mo unlimited HSDPA.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Really. I'm wondering if that's got anything to do with people threatening to sue because of said "lack of consent"? I've got a feeling that AT&T is backing off and changing their tune due to possible bad press.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
I'm simply telling about my experience with AT&T.

Maybe they think I'm sexy and that's why they are not changing my plan. I doubt that's the reason though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
A couple weeks now
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
It's an absolute fact that they can and do change data plans without consent. I have smartphone exclusion on my line but had a second line without it. 2 months ago I took my sim card out, put it in a dumb phone, then back into my smartphone. Within a couple hours both lines got the dreaded text messages and the newer line without smartphone exclusion had the data plan changed to the $30 one. I quickly ported that line out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
If it helps, I also received the message on the end date of my billing cycle, so I would wait until a full month has passed to start feeling safe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Well, I threw away the simcard they gave me with me with the Tilt2 an used the old one.

And I guess I was just lucky... 4 years in a row.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Interesting. Can you let us know if the old one was the orange cingular sim? Wondering if that's got anything to do with "network visibility" (aka getting caught) regarding using an unbranded phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Getting my N1 today. Has your status changed regarding the $10 MediaNet plan?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
They do sweeps every couple of days and auto-upgrade you to the $30 plan.

I just called them yesterday evening and got put back on the $15 plan, but during the night I was auto-upgraded again to their "smartphone" plan.

Note there is no way to change it back to $15 yourself on their site anymore.

I've switching to t-mo in 2 days :) :) :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Is that because on a dumb phone the chances of using the full 5gigs is next to 0?

When you get put on the $30 do you still get 5 gigs?

Just wondering about the different pricing between our countries, as a general rule, we get shafted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Did you have the T-MOB version of the N1? It appears this is the one that AT&T is cracking down on, but so far they've been unable to detect the ATT 3G version.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmow:
I wouldn't say this is accurate. I just did it yesterday. Do you mean that with the smartphone detected, you can't? Because that would make sense. You should still be able to change it when it's in a dumbphone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Nope, AT&T's blue smartchip. It's about 2 years old.
