We'll be perfectly honest with you: we're not seeing what's "black" about the front of the
Desire that Orange UK is now selling, but it insists that the phone is indeed devoid of color; we suspect they're actually just referring to the back, for which the description seems more accurate -- but that would make it no different than any other Desire being sold around the world. What does that mean? Basically, we think it means these guys need to get their eyesight checked. Spec-wise, this is the same Desire you'll find elsewhere... if you can find it, that is -- it sold out in short order on Orange's site since its launch a few days ago, no doubt a side effect of the customer euphoria caused by the realization that they can get a 1GHz Snapdragon running Android 2.1 with Sense on a WVGA display for free on contract. In the meantime, you might want to sniff around stores.
Update: Turns out the real, actual, live Orange-branded Desire is black, despite the imagery on Orange's site. We're working on pictures -- stay tuned. Thanks, everyone!

I chose the Nexus One because it provides for unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone. So I can either run it stock or rooted and easily move between the two (acknowledging rooting the phone voids the warranty). The HTC Desire is proving to be more difficult to root and mod...and is therefore of less interest to me.
@linuxluver And also its prettier.
See this AT&T? Learn a lesson from your counter parts in the UK. HTC DESIRE SELLS OUT!!
I googled 'Black Desire' but was presented with an entirely different type of product.
Can you purchase one of these unlocked and use it on Verizon network?
