Im using a desire, its shit hot, had no problems with it and it does everything I need it to.

I'd have one over an iphone 3gs but not really used a 4 so cant comment.

Cant comment on the desire but i got a wildfire a couple of weeks ago and i think its awesome, i'm not really into phones but i'm well impressed with it.

I assume the desire would be even better, although its a bit on the large size for my liking.

Desires are awesome phones, really fast and easy to use unless you have sausage fingers!

Yeah I ordered mine last month from Dialaphone and it took about 9 days to get to me but not too bad. Would have been a day if in stock. Its a popular phone and I'm on Orange also.

Desire HD is out next month or so isn't it? Desire and Samsung Galaxy S are the top two at the minute IMO and both worth looking up. I spent ages comparing before going Desire. I love my handset, its superb.

LOL, you'll still be a sheep mate like us as everyone also has a Desire but it just means you made your own mind up a bit more and looked into it instead of being brainwashed by a bazillion TV adverts.

Just got in and only just noticed the notification for the 2.2 Android OS update (Froyo), doing it now which will give the 720p recording amongst other stuff. Been waiting for it since before I had it as didn't want to debrand ideally like had to with Nokia's etc.
