At the retail level I wouldn't bet on it, considered that it is a new phone and one of the most sought-after phones on the market currently (other than iPhone ).  Even Telus Teamstore is one of stock on the Desire at this time.

 

 

Perhaps in a few weeks or months but it is currently a very hot phone right now, especially for Telus. One thing you might consider to be a good deal though is the phone's lack of need for a data plan.

1.  Where did you get the 2.2 Froyo image for the Desire?

2.  Which provider are you using the unlocked Desire with?

3.  How do you like it so far?

 

I just bought my Desire and got it unlocked.   However I have not used the phone yet.

The Desire actually does require a data plan to get it for the cost of $79.99.  All smartphones, expecially Android phones require data to get promotional pricing.

 

To the original poster,  this phone is on SALE this week only for $49.99 on a 3 year Voice and Data plan!

At the time of posting, the Desire did not require a smartphone data plan.  That's true for some phones today too, both the LG Shine Plus and the LG Optimus One smartphones require no data plan, only a voice plan.
