Earlier this year at the at the World Mobile Congress HTC released a bunch of Android phones, two of these included the HTC Desire and the HTC Legend. I just received feedback from Leaf that South Africa will indeed have these phones and maybe sooner than we think.
The HTC Desire and HTC Legend is set to be available in the first week of April in South Africa. Leaf confirmed that both devices will be available from all the telco channels, and the devices will ship with Android 2.1.
Interesting facts about the HTC Desire:

With the 1GHz chipset, the HTC Desire offers quicker access to applications, maps, videos and more importantly a faster browsing experience. Proof point… Almost 2x faster than the iPhone 3GS, 18% faster than Nexus One for browsing; smart zoom and built in flash player.

Keep an eye out for the HTC Desire and HTC Legend to hit South African early in April.
Guys i went to vodacom last week because i thought my battery had a problem. They checked the battery and confirmed it had a problem, then they take the whole phone and say leaf will replace the battery. Does that usually happen, i mean the problem is with the battery, why are they taking the whole phone? thanks for any help
….and still no update to Froyo….
I am a ‘quickly-to-be’ htc wildfire user from Kenya. I’ve been doing some analysis on this phone and i have found it to be the perfect price range-smartphone.I am now ready to order it, unlocked obviously, because it hasn’t yet began being offerd in my country. The one huddle yet to be falt with is findinga reputable firm keen to export overseas, particularly to Africa. Thus far the one website i’ve found is expansys.co.uk.
Should stick with the iphone ya cant beat it
