Why have you created a new thread? The old HTC Desire HD UK release thread hasn't been removed. All that happened was you were warned by a mod over your behaviour. Just act like a grown up and move on. We don't need numerous threads on the same subject.

It was removed at time of creating thread in which it has since been restored.
 
Rumour mill keeps going,someone over on facebook says he went to T-Mobile and they said they will have it by the 14th, I don't see this happening to be honest
 
Well Mobile Phones Direct have advised there will be delays and they will aim to ship end of October. Basically what we already knew;

Code: 
"
PLEASE ALLOW 17 DAYS FOR
FREE CITYLINK DELIVERY

We are an HTC ultimate partner - HTC have advised of delays due to Android OS testing. Limited stock is expected end Oct and we will supply Desire HD on a first ordered first delivered basis. Order Now and receive a Free 8GB memory card.

Very nice price AND free delivery!

But who/what is Dabs.com? Never heard of them. Are they UK-based? Are they reliable and trustworthy?

Shame they'll only be getting 5 handsets due in the next 3/4 weeks.

Not to mention you may even get some cashback with them which will drill the price down cheaper.

You not heard of Dabs.com ..really?...they are a really big company..owned by BT funny enough very reliable too.

Well the Android App Market is still playing catch-up with the Apple App Store so imagine how far behind WP7 is gonna be with apps.

That's the main thing that puts me off it anyway.
