  I can vouch this is an amazing phone, it is all good and not over-hyped, unlike the iPhone...

  I've moved this to Mobiles for you. Should stay on the frontpage longer than in Electronics.

  It will come locked to T-Mobile. You can unlock via T-Mobile for £15 but it takes 14-28 days for them to process it.
  
  You can use a third-party site like http://www.htcsimunlock.com/htc-desire-unlock.html who are claiming to do it for $19.99 (about £13) and it takes them 5-30 minutes

  This seems a good deal.
  
  I haven't had a PAYG phone for years, so what kind of deals/contracts can be had on PAYG?

  That is massive. Looks good, didn't know we were getting 4G in this country in the next few months... 3G is stretched to limits as it is.

  Great, 15 quid isnt too bad. Think ill grab that sim only + topcashback deal from o2 and get myself a new desire. Possibly the best combination of phone/network I can think of!

  Sounds like what I'll be doing as soon as I've sold my Hero!

  Got to get this phone, but if you shop around you can get one on an 18 month contract with minutes/texts and unlimited internet for £450 over the duration of the contract and free phone so not that great a deal for me.

  +1. even on a £30 a month 18 month contract with free phone for the first 11 months your up on the cost of the phone just by itself. Plus with this you'll have to buy credit and I can see these constantly using credit as there always connected to the internet. I think your alot better off ringing T-mobile and trying to haggle a deal with them.

  T-Mobile's version of Android on the HTC Hero had serious 'issues'.

  I think it’s CDMA/WiMax only so won’t work in the UK. Sounds stunning though.

  Some people already have a sim card deal such as the O2/Vodafone quidco offers, or an existing contract sim card. All they want is the cheapest possible price for the handset without hassle of signing up for another contract, myself included in "these people".
  
  I've been looking since the phone came out, and even considered getting a 24 month contract and buying myself out of it immediately. Compared to all those deals, this price is still cheaper if you just want the phone.
  
  PS: If you got this and an O2 Quidco/Topcashback offer for 12 months, it would still work out to about £450. Also, the 18 month offer is via redemption and from experience I'd say that is VERY unreliable. I'd rather rely on Quidco/Topcashback. Totals for 18 months would then work out similar

  I've pre-ordered this phone from handtec, which is pricier at about £385. I don't know how T-Mobile's Desire will be, but I opted to go for a genuine unlocked SIM-free version as my HTC Magic from Vodafone has been a huge disappointment over the vanilla Magic. I'm now far more suspicious about 'branded' versions of these phones, and think that it's worth paying an extra 10% to get the HTC version rather than a network version.
  
  And like MrBrightside1987 says, some of us are already under contract so just want a new phone.

  What's the O2 Quidco/Topcashback offer?
