I am still amazed at browsing on this thing.. It really is like a small web browser in your pocket.

It's too bad, because the Desire is everything I want in a phone. I just don't know if Sense UI, multitouch, more RAM, trackpad, and newer firmware are worth the 30% price jump + no insurance. Plus it only comes in that ugly shade of brown.  | If you think the X10 costs $430 you are fucking dreaming
$430 + 2 (or is it 3?) years of service = $900-1100 for an X10  | |

X10 can be had for $149 HUP. Or just buy it new off a local shop, CL, or RS for around 430-500. But the old firmware and no multitouch just kills it for me. Still only looking at either this or the milestone.

I don't understand the anti-contract bandwagon either.
I'm paying $44.89 after tax for my voice+data plan, the same exact plan that two of my friends are paying $68.xx after tax for.
They're paying $831.96 over the next three years for the luxury of not being on a contract, plus I get a free phone worth $550 MSRP (though realistically, I was offered $500 for it on RS).
So I'm at an advantage of $1331.96. Where's the problem?

OK so you're considering sketchy Craigslist sellers as an indication of price...

Yup, so people smart enough not to be on a contract will be able to switch if they are good, or stay where they are if they are not good | |

Getting a "sample" on July 3rd. can't wait. 
looks like an awesome phone and it will be my first Android. Almost got X10, glad I waited.
how is Divx supported on this phone? right out of box without conversion?
Do you need an extra program like yxplayer or does it come with it's own program?

No DivX support OOTB. I haven't looked into media players.. I never watch videos on my phone, even though I've had the capability for the last 10 years. It's just one of those gimmicks that sounds cooler than it actually is. I'd rather use the battery doing other things  | |

^ I never got use to it until my n900. divx OOTB. Didnt eat up my batter much on my n900 either. I have 2 batteries and I alway rotates every 2 days with regular use of email/web/video/msn.
Thanks for letting me know. I know X10 with yxplayer works great, just want to know in advance before I put my hand on the desire.
can't wait, another 21 days.

| "Telus is getting really close to introduce the HTC Desire in Canada, as the carrier has reportedly started employee training for the Android 2.1 smartphone (which won’t be named Triumph after all).
Right now, it’s said that the Desire will hit Telus’ shelves before the end of this month (July).
There’s still no word on pricing, but I’ve been looking through Telus’ smartphone offering and I think the Desire will cost less than $200 with a 3-yr contract (the Motorola Milestone, for example, costs $149.99)."

I'm using http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all and they said they can't yet, so not entirely sure if htcsimunlock would unlock the telus version yet.

^ it can be unlock now
people from howardforum bought a code from eBay and it unlocked but it's quite pricey right now
it's 50 bucks vs. 20 bucks from other places, which will probably get their codes soon

^ Yeah I checked with that site and it's questionable that htcsim has the code and mobileincanada does not.
Anyways I went down to the metrotown connect to pick up the desire, but found out it costs $659 vs the telus website price of $450. Apparently if I don't buy the phone on my telus account(which I can't cause it hasn't been a year since I got my gay ass blackberry plan, and I would have to pay $200 cancellation fees) I have to purchase it at MSRP. Should of read the fine print.  | |
