Ring them and see what your old phone is worth. If they'll knock off a fair amount then you are stuck with having to go instore and buy it.

If not, keep/sell your old phone. Port to another network and then buy the HD online.

Just in relation to availability in case people are still looking for the phone:

Picked up desire hd on upgrade Friday in the meteor store on henry street, €229. They seemed to get a few in stock but most were promised to new customers. Maybe some other store got stock in as well. I just called them to check and the lady reserved one for me there and then.

The Desire HD still seems to be available online on the link another poster previously mentioned on this thread:

As far as I know if you are an existing meteor customer you have to call up the online store and purchase over the phone. Absolutely love the phone, in particular the size. It still fits in my pocket perfectly so I don't really see the disadvantage in having such a large phone.

No, they aren't. There are very, very few Meteor stores that are franchises, maybe about 8 or so, mainly in small towns. Nenagh, Co. Tipp is one that springs to mind. The vast majority of stores are owned by Meteor.

Rang up the meteor store in ilac centre around lunchtime and they said they had got a delivery this morning and had 1 available. He put it to the side, and i went in and picked it up.

Nice little christmas present for myself

Now its time to play with it

I got the DHD a few weeks back on vodafone prepay. I tried to register on vodafone last night and pick the DHD so I can get one on bill. Cant seem to find it on the site so Im gonna just get one on meteor billpay. Tis fair cheap considering how excellent it is.

Is the meteor 1gig internet limit, good enough for this phone? Just for basic browsing and mostly messenger and email.

Good question! There seems to be a bit of a grey area in terms of closing programs. Some apps have a proper reassuring 'Exit' option in the menu whereas some don't. You just leave them and assume they're closed until you open Advanced Task Killer Pro and you see that they're still running in the background!

I'm new to Android though so I could be talking nosense! I'm just used to windows' taskbar showing what programs are open, at the same time though little icons in the top bar in Android would probably just annoy me.

Android is kind of designed to make it so you're not worried about what's running. If you leave something running in the background without interacting with it for a while, it'll die on its own. Task killers help out a little by killing off these tasks a little earlier, which in theory save battery.

The music app is a funny one -- it closes if you pause or stop the music before closing it, otherwise it keeps going and keeps a notification so you can get back to it. A few other apps (like spotify) do this too.

Lads if you went with the 35euro per month option from meteor online store, your supposed to only get charged 30pm, but is this including or exlcuding VAT?

I rang meteor but was on hold for ten minutes and the phone was running out of battery, so thought id ask here instead.

I got my first bill and its 28.93 + Vat. I also got charged an extra 4.13 on top of that for international calls that i didnt make ( and i confirmed this by checking the call log on the meteor site).

Will call meteor 2mrw to clarify but was hoping somebody might be able to give me a quick answer here.

strange, both meteor stores i frequent in cork seem to say different.


Anyhooo
I have a little problem with the bluetooth and my car radio. The phone seems to act randomly on disconnect. Sometimes it just transfers to the phones speakers. Other times it stops player like it should...

Another problem is that i cant get my bookmarks to sync with HTC sync. Im using chrome. i select it. But the bookmarks in the phone never change.

Any ideas?
