Exclamation Mobilephonesdirect shipping SILVER Devices

Just letting everyone know that having questioned mobilephonesdirect.co.uk they have confirmed that the only Desires they are shipping are Silver/Graphite.

I have asked them to change the website to advise of this and to email all customers who have pre-ordered already.

They are not getting any Brown ones.
Not sure i want a silver one

Just a heads up, MPD will not deal with any customer service issue after you've taken delivery, they refer you to HTC. I had problems within a week and they wouldn't help me.

Really! I've never even seen or heard of a silver/graphite model. If this is true they'll get a fair few cancellations.

i can second this, after sales are truly rubbish, had an issue with my TP2 when I brought. Only had 10 days and they would not deal with me. Won't buy from these again soley based on there after sales.

I called mobilephonesdirect again today and they don't seem to know what's going on.

They advise that they are getting Graphite devices, but searching on-line the only colours I can find are brown or silver.

One of their staff said it would be the silver one and now another has said it is the brown

I did raise my concerns and they advised that if the phone I receive is not the one shown in the picture on their website then I can return it

Just received a mail from them that contradicts this. I asked them specifically if they were selling the brown which was the one used on their website, and they said...

"The handset we have depicted on our website is in fact the Brown but we will be selling the Graphite"
