HTC Desire :: SIM Free Or Contract
Apr 13, 2010
I'm currently waiting for the Desire to come out on O2, but am still not sure whether this is the best thing to do, or whether I should just get it SIM free and get an O2 Simplicity SIM (I want O2 because of the data allowance and because I know the coverage is good here, unlike other networks).My issues are, if I get it on O2 will it be ruined by them, covered in O2 stuff inside and out. But, if I get it SIM free, will it be difficult to set up when I put the SIM in, for messaging/internet access/whatever. I'm not that techie minded so if it's complicated to set all this up on a SIM free phone I might struggle.

Since lots of people here are on Orange it seems an appropriate place to ask. Do Orange charge separately for MMS even if you are on an unlimited texts contract? I get the impression they do, which is really very irritating. I don't suppose there's any way around it by ringing up and negotiating?

I'm confused as to which contract I want to get with Orange.I'm looking for the cheapest option as I don't make that many phone calls, but I want to be able to use the internet on the phone.Have been looking on carphonewarehouse but I can't see which one offers the internet in the price.

Just a quick question to those who have brought the Desire from mobilephonesdirect.com on a T-mobile contract. What data allowance have you got? Have you got the standard 3Gb T-mob gives to Android phones or have you got less? I have browsed their site and under their 'unlimited mobile internet' it says 1Gb.

irect reI am planning on getting THIS HTC Desire contract from Mobile Phones Direct, this will be my first ever contract phone and my first ever android phone, I am planning on getting this deal: I have a few questions: Are Mobile Phones D liable on a non redemption contract like this? Is this a good deal? I know that T-Mobile has recently changed its contract to say its 3GB FUP is only for its direct customers but if I got this contract and phoned them up and said I have an android what are the chances I could talk them into putting me on the 3GB FUP instead of the 1GB? and finally if the above is a no then is there any speed difference between those on the 1GB UP and those on the 3GB FUP? If you can help me with these questions then thank you very very much, this is my first contract and I don't want to mess it up.

Ive recently bought a HTC Desire on orange contract and the phone appears to be debranded and unlocked. There is no evidence of orange applications in the menu and my other vodafone sim works with it too! Is there anyway to work out whether this has the generic HTC unbranded rom or not? And does that mean i will get the Froyo update when HTC release it?

I got my desire last week and everything was good until last night when i changed my googlemail address to gmail. I looked across the forum and found that the best thing to do was reset the phone. I did this and all was perfect once more until I went to go to college and was listening to music but couldn't change tracks or pause using the hands-free kit. I have no idea how to get it working again and don't know if the reset had anything to do with it stopping working. All I know is it worked perfectly the other day.

So, I just got myself the Desire, and I'm trying to establish how my phone's doing, in terms of RAM, compared to the rest of you.At the moment, I've got 134MB of RAM, but it can go as low as 40MB. Despite me not being able to actually feel that, it bugs me that it's so low. So what are you guys getting?

I found a good price on an unlocked HTC Desire but its labeled as "Sim Free/ unlocked". Does this mean I cannot insert my current sim card into this phone?
Just a side note/rant. Sales reps have no clue about anything so I prefer to ask here. When I've inquired whether a particular stock of Desires was AMOLED or SLCD most simply read the website's description. When I told them about SLCD they had no idea there was a manufacturing change. One guy told me "We don't know whats in the boxes".

I have an android desire, but I can only access free apps in the market place. I have an app that offers a paid upgrade but when i click to the market place, tere is nothing there. I think this is because im in Singapore, and perhaps paid apps reot offered? (I think something similar with iphone is in place) Is there a way to pay for the apps on my pc then put on my phone?

I always buy my handsets sim free, and with my move from Symbian to Android imminent I'm looking to make sure I get a proper, "nothing to do with any network or their trashy tweaks" Desire. Question is, where's the best place to get such a Desire that's definitely not got operator firmware tucked away on it? I appreciate "sim free" should mean this, but can people recommend the likes of Amazon or Play.com (UK stores) for such handsets?

I am cancelling my personal contract as I have a company supplied win 7 phone but would like to continue to use the apps on my android at home using the WiFi. I have tried it without the sim but I cannot get past the 'no sim detected' screen after turning it on. The only options are shut down or restart.
Is there any modification, setting or app I can use to bypass the requirement for an active sim card?

Is anyone having problems connecting their phone to a hands free kit? I get intermittent drop outs etc.
I connected with my phone to the hands free and it didn't even ask me for a passcode as it does with others.
So................the problem is that it sometimes connects and will then drop and will have to restart both devices.

I'm running 2.1 on the Cellular South East network. I have received a notification that my Desire since is low on space, but I have over 100 mb of free memory. After a bit of research, I read that I should try to clear application caches. I used the application manager but the "clear cache " button for each application is greyed-out. I then read to wait a minute or so to allow all data to load. I waited 3 minutes, but I still couldn't clear any caches. Why I can't clear a cache?

How much internal do you try and keep free on your HTC Desire? Do you notice any change in performance if/when the storage space drops beyond a certain point?
