Now it does not take a genius to realise that by friday the first shipment of HTC Desires that T-Mobile had received will have all gone, I would also hazard a guess that the next shipment will have gone to new customer who will have pre-ordered them.

So the long a the short of it is, if you are an existing customer and are desperate to get one of these phones you have four options.
1. Start a new contract with T-Mobile and get the Desire, but end up running your existing contract along side the new contract until it runs out.
2. Wait until the other five networks, all of whom are scheduled to get the HTC Desire at the beginning of April, and switch network.
3. Wait, probably for the next two months, until T-Mobile get stock that existing customers can get their hands on.
4. Wait for the HTC Supersonic to hit the streets.

I suppose for the time being I’ll just have to sulk.
