I have an unlocked HTC desire (Grey Color) that I bought in Dubai. How would I be able to tell if this is a European version that is supposed to get the Froyo update releasing shortly?

Hi guys. I just got a new HTC Desire that was supposed to be unbranded. There is no brand splash screen when I turn it on, but there are some O2 configurations on the phone (like o2 mail, and o2 scene).
I found out that the software version (1.20.207.3) is actually a o2 branded version. I also find out that I got a SLCD Desire, if that matters
The problem is that I didn't get any Froyo update on System Software Updates. Do you have any ideia why? And is it positive that my phone is branded even without the splash screen?
Thanks
I think o2 pulled their ota again because some desire became bricked. If you want there are links to manually download the update.

Hi,
on my T-Mobile branded Desire HD AND on my GFs T-Mobile branded Sensation we can only see the Dashboard when logging in to htcsense.com.
On the unbranded Desire Z of my colleague i see way more and could edit the phonbook, see the sms and so on.
HTC sais that there is no differrence in htcsense.com between branded and unbranded phones but i don't think so.
Is it right that htcsense.com is only complete when you own a unbranded phone?
Regards
Daniel
HTCSense.com is broken since January, and the lazy tech crew at HTC seems to be unable to fix it. The behavior you are experiencing is not normal, but it is not rare either

Okay i read that in other forums too but why is on the unbranded DZ of my colleague everything fine!?
My HTC Desire HD is a Generic Phone running
Android Version 2.3.3 , Software Number 2.50.405.2 and Market Place Version 2.3.4.
A friend has a Desire HD locked to 3 with a earlier version of Android software and Market Place Version 3.1.5
My version of Google Market Place has not updated for approximately 6 months even though I am aware that there have been several Market Place updates since then.
HTC today told me that because my handset is a Generic handset I am unable to receive Android Market Place Updates.
However they go on to say "I can see that your friend has a Desire HD branded by 3UK (the network). As I've mentioned before there are some differences between branded and unbranded devices when it comes to software version. Network branded devices have different ROM installed therefore the software information/updates will always be different even though the phone model is the same."
This does not sound correct to me as my friends handset s running an earlier version of Android software but he has at least 2 later generations of Market Place.
I thought Market place was pushed out to all handsets that for fill the Android Version Requirement or Higher for that release of Market Place.
Can somebody help me get my phone to update.
Thank you

Now when you say a generic version do you mean an unbranded version of a Chinese clone? There are many clones floating around so I want to be sure.
Re My HTC Desire
My HTC Desire HD is a genuine unbranded phone bought from the Carphone Warehouse and replaced under Warranty by HTC themselves.
It is not a Clone device.
Many Thanks

Never seen branding on a UK handset before (carrier branding)
I remember Orange putting their branding on the Desire (I also think they had a custom black colour but I'm not sure about that) but aside from that I don't remember anybody else doing it.

I've seen it done on the SGS2,
If this bothers you - either buy in store & see with your own eyes, or purchase a sim free model.

My HTC Desire had Orange branding on it, but my HTC Desire HD didn't, i sure hope my One X doesn't have any orange branding,
My Desire HD has branding of the Orange logo on the sim/sd card cover.
Hello All,
I've been trying to purchase an unbranded unlocked UK HTC One M8 grey but so far I've had 2 Asian 2.5Ghz versions and a german t-mobile locked version.
I want to confirm the part number for the UK unlocked unbranded version before I buy again, can anyone who has the box please confirm?
Ended up buying from amazon - confirmed the part number is HTC 99HYK014-00 if anyone is interested.
Thanks
