The desire gets 720p trough the froyo update but um guessing we can't get that after we unlock the phone without rooting the phone. Yeah the codes taking longer then I thought, They said Monday at the latest so hopefully by tonight I'll be switching from my docomo phone to something that won't die on me in my own home.

^ unlock codes are out
Hofo users are reporting you need to type in the code two times to actually get it to unlock even though it says unlocked the first time.

So If I unlock the HTC Desire I won't be getting the froyo update? (unless I root it)

I was planning on just unlocking it

A lot of places are being real dicks about it. Obviously they want to sell it along with a contract because they can make much more money that way and since the distribution of these devices has been pretty low, dealers will likely want to make the most amount of money. Ive heard a lot of people get turned down on HOFO, but there were also some that got it.

As long as you keep trying you will be sure to find someone that will give it to you.

You can buy one directly from Telus site or from places like Bestbuy and Futureshop (depending on the person you talk to)

Yeah I just went to a Telus dealer and they were being an ass about it. Oh we need to activate it for you so we get reimbursed for the hardware. I'm like wtf is the point of no contract price then. I'm not signing a contract anyways. They're like oh it's because we get them at a subsidized price and we'd have to charge an extra $150 on top. I'm wanting to paying full price so it's not subsized lol. Going to Futureshop today. If that fails I'll just order online.

From what I've read at this point it might just be better to order it through the telus website, you don't have to deazl with any bullshit contract talk, and shipping is free+fast. As for the froyo update, I THINK you have to root it and do it yourself since we're not really on the telus network anymore.

Rooting and Flashing froyo is easy. Just goto XDA and read the forums.

Yeah I'm gonna hit up FutureShop downtown to try my luck. Otherwise I'll order from the Telus website. Then I'll go rub it in that dealer's face haha j/k
