No problems with mine at all. Great all round.

Being able to use the Desire as a wifi hotspot is extremely convenient, and for me the HD video thing is a good laugh but not essential. I haven't tried the iTunes synching yet but I can see it would be useful.
I think it's mainly supposed to be a lot more stable. Oh, and Flash 10.1 is a lot better.<br>
Is it because it's crippled by being network-locked or something?
There is a hack that works on the HTC Hero, may work on the Desire to prolong battery life. Go into phone:
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#* , don't press call. It should take you into the system menu
2. Go to Phone information
3. scroll down until you get to WCDMA Auto (or something similar)
4. Choose GSM PRL Auto from the list.
5. Back out using the back key
As stated, this works for the Hero so I take absolutely no responsibility for damage. it may not even show you the menu on the Desire but it could be worth a try. I went from 12 hours to 24 on my Hero.
