I'm actually looking for a reason not to pre-order (should be in stock next week) it NOW from www.handtec.co.uk Got my finger on the trigger
Did a quick calc, should cost all in under R 6000 (R 5600 - 5800). Just trying to justify the warranty risk.
But than again all the stock that arrives first to our carriers will probably only be available with contracts (... I've decided no more contracts for me)
I just contacted Leaf and they assured me the phone will be South Africa on the 20th and will be at the service providers by no later than the 25 November 2010 for sale and contracts
Hahaha - thought as much from Leaf
Exactly what they did with the HD2 - told everyone it would be available at a certain stage - and then it was delayed.

I'll tell MTN you actually wanted a Blackberry Torch & to pass on the Desire HD to me.
Well, my order was in the day it became available on MTN's web site....so I should be first.

Fanks Howie, you're too kind.
Yeah, I've looked at so many phones till I actually got fed-up, but this is THE most complete phone out there right now.
Also looked at Windows 7 phones, but the OS is just not there yet. Maybe in a year's time, but then Android will most probably be miles ahead with Gingerbread + . Another strong contender was the Samsung Galaxy S, but the Desire HD packs the latest tech (14.4Mbps HSDPA), more RAM. Last, but not least, I actually did look at the iPhone 4 (yes, I did
), but the antennae issues just made it a big no-no, since I'm left-handed + a lot of people are complaining that it's very uncomfortable to hold when having a long chat.SO.....the Desire HD is my choice.
