Just ordered a Desire HD myself, although having to use Vodafone due to my geographical location it’s costing me £35 pcm for 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 750Gb internet. Add this to the £30 pcm I pay for a shitty Nokia N97 Mini then Vodafone get a tidy sum out of me.
The HTC is going on my wife’s contract though as she’s due an upgrade (and I’m not). She’s happy with her current Sony Ericsson slide phone and is currently on £25pcm for 600mins, unlimited texts and no internet.
Spending the extra tenner to get myself a decent phone will be worthwile, as the missus gets an extra 300 minutes – she was exceeding 600 mins every month, so it was costing us a load extra anyway.
It’s worth noting, that even running my own business, I somehow manage to stay well within my 600 mins – but then I’m male 😐
