Vodafone UK has begun pre-orders for the HTC Desire HD, and if it is even nearly as popular as the original you will want to jump on this one as fast as your little fingers can click through to the ordering page. The phone is free on a monthly plan starting at £35 a month for 24 months and is expected to drop into Vodafone on October 14th.
In somewhat related news, online retailer Clove is stating that the sale of the unlocked version of the Desire HD has been delayed until the end of the month due to hang-ups in Google testing. Sad trombone. Do you want the phone bad enough that you would take up a carrier contract to get it a few weeks early?
