HTC Desire HD – pre order from Vodafone

We have been pretty much snowed under this week with Windows Phone 7 news. We must not forget that the HTC Desire HD is coming very soon and as from today you can put in a pre order with Vodafone. The Desire HD is available from free on a 24 month contract if you don’t mind one of that length.

The device is currently showing as being available from October 22nd although we all know this is subject to change.
