Upgrading phone

I've been using a motorola milestone for roughly 3 months as my main phone now but just like headphones I need moar! Better! Faster! So thought it all over and just sold my milestone and ordered a htc desire to replace it.

Android phones are rather open and there are a lot op people cooking roms for various android based phones, motorola says that these are consumer phones and locked the firmware with a rsa-128 key they won't share. I can understand why they do it, but it's not for me then. The htc phones allow you to install custom firmware; that the only reason why my htc hero is so fast now; bundled with android 2.1; because the community took the development in their own hands! A stock hero is still bound to android 1.5 and is rather slow.

Hopefully the desire won't let me down; so I can spend my money on something else, like headphones ;)
