Hola
Just picked up a Desire on O2 today and it's fucking sweet. Annoyingly though, it's still running 2.1. Did a bit of looking round and it could be as long as a month for the update to go live for O2 users. Even more worrying Android forumengers (Androidgers?) are saying this is because O2 are stripping out functionality like WiFi hotspot.
So I think I'm gonna debrand my Desire: method kindly outlined here by zeepool - uses a Goldcard from klutsch.com (whatever that is). You end up with debranded 2.1, and the option to download 2.2 pops up immediately.
2 questions though before I begin
1 - is this gonna invalidate my warranty?
2 - waiting for my SIM to be activated, but connected to internet via wifi - will the firmware upgrade be available to me or should I wait til I get bars on my phone (shouldn't be too long but want to try tonight)
