Jail Break HTC Desire - What a Joke

A couple of months ago I really wanted to get the HTC Desire a cool phone.. The only drawback was that the Desire was tailored exclusively for a Telstra phone plan, and I really didnt have any interest in signing up with them But I still wanted the phone though.



Don't believe the  salesman
So one day I go to the phone shop and tell the salesman
that I wanted to get the Desire without having to sign up
for Telstra. He tells me basically that if i buy just the
phone, i will have to unlock the phone if i want to use the
internet on it.

I ask salesman #2 what my options were. She was a little more
blunt, saying that nothing on the phone would work without
my having to unlock the phone, (even basic functions)!.

Salesman #3 tells me something else, that the phone should work
with other plans, but that I should get the Telstra plan.

Great.

So i decide to get the phone solo and take my chances.
If I have to unlock it for some reason, then ill just unlock
it.

Limitations

The HTC Desire is a pretty cool phone.It works with other
networks besides Telstras and I can take calls, receive calls,
send and forward messages, and have no problems with the signal
strength (even if i hold the phone in a weird way).

The only drawback was that eventually i found out that I couldn't
connect to the internet using my current mobile service provider.
Talking to the previous sales people, I thought i would have
to unlock the phone. So I went to a Telstra shop and asked
them what i should do. They tell me that the phone is already
unlocked, but that i just have to change the APN (access point
names) to my carrier.

So I add the APN from another HTC phone that I know of which
is already working with my network. I restart it - works
perfectly.
