I decided to get rid of all the Orange branding from my Desire by debranding it.
I followed this guide http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/...ur-desire.html
Instead of going through the instructions to make a goldcard, i used this tool here http://android.modaco.com/content/so...-goldcardtool/ (if the link doesn't work properly then search the website it takes you to for "gold card tool".
Flashing took less than 10mins from start to finish and i now have a generic unbranded Desire which is less limited in terms of software, has no orange branding, and all the orange demos, links, apps etc are all removed completely.
