It might not seem that way at first because P4U and CPW tend to offer cheaper deals but when you renew, you don't get any loyalty like you do with the networks can offer you over the phone.
Not saying that the Desire is a cheap phone, it's not. If the iPhone 4 didn't exist, I'd probably have gone for one of those myself. I was almost tempted.
The problem you mention with the memory card is a common fault with that phone I'm pretty sure. I've read about a few similar faults on this forum about it. The other thing what put me off the phone was knowing that you are limited to installing the apps onto the phone rather than to the memory card. If I'm not mistaken, the phone has 512MB storage space. That wouldn't be enough storage for me. I had 5GB of apps on my old iPhone 3G and nearly 1.5GB of apps on the iPhone 4 now.
I'd take the phone back while you still can as you are well within your right to do so.
