    So, does that mean it wouldn’t have been released yet for my phone, arghh i wish i never lent it him lol i got a desire because i couldn’t be bothered to wait for the update of 2.1 for my HERO lol, and now the update comes for my DESIRE and i don’t have it :/

    @Adamm, I think it will take a while for Orange to put their softwares in it.
    I too have unlocked Orange Desire but I debranded it to stock HTC ROM. Thats why I got the update. If you have not debranded your phone, then you’ve to wait for update from Orange.
