HTC Desire series

When upgrading just go to CPW as all their handsets are unbranded - end of problem!!

[slef2003]

ref CPW...that may well be an option; however i have always managed to get pretty good deals from vf lol

[EddyOS]

If you don't mind getting a branded handset then by all means get it from Vodafone. If you want updates quickly then get an unbranded handset

can someone from vodafone tell us if theyre going to molest the update before rolling it out? its due for release at the end of the month. or should i go ahead and unbrand my phone?

 I unbranded mine as soon as i got it and never had any problems and have had Ginferbread on it for a long time now. If you ever need to send it back for warranty repairs, just flash the Vodafone firmware and it will be back to how it came in the first place.

Assuming the RUU is made available, of course

[alpha-dog]

im sure XDA will have it available for download

[alpha-dog]

right, three UK is releasing an unmolested 2.3 update at the same time HTC is releasing the update for unbranded phones. what is the chances that vodafone will do this?

[EddyOS]

Slim-to-none at best IMO

[alpha-dog]

shame to hear...

[alpha-dog]

updates being rolled out as we speak. has vodafone started tampering with it yet? also how long are we expecting to wait for the update?

[EddyOS]

Where'd you hear that? Not heard anything on XDA yet

EDIT: Yes there's a thread on XDA but no one has it yet and I won't believe it until someone has it. Wouldn't be surprised if the HTC rep is thinking of the Desire Z - even though the post confirms they're not
