    As we all know the Nexus One's warranty becomes void if the bootloader is unlocked (Aka the phone is rooted). I've just read through a scan of the Nexus One warranty statement and the Desire's warranty statement and they are exactly identical barr one section.

    Here is the Nexus One warranty statement regarding conditions in which the warranty is void
    7. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY IF:
    a) the Product serial number, the accessory date code, the IMEI number, the water indicator, or the warranty seal has been removed, erased, defaced, altered or is illegible; or
    b) the defect was caused by deterioration of the Product due to normal wear and tear; or
    c) the defect was caused by use other than in accordance with the user manual, rough handling, exposure to moisture, dampness or extreme thermal or environmental conditions or a rapid change in
    such conditions, corrosion, oxidation, unauthorized modifications or connections, unauthorized opening or repair, repair by use of unauthorized spare parts, accidents, forces of nature, or other actions beyond the reasonable control of HTC (including but not limited to deficiencies in consumable parts) unless the defect was caused directly by defects in materials or workmanship; or
    d) the defect was caused by the fact that the battery has been short-circuited or by the fact that the seals of the battery enclosure or the cells are broken or show evidence of tampering or by the fact that the battery has been used in equipment other than those for which it has been specified; or
    e) the defect was caused by a defective function of the cellular network or other system; or
    f) the Product software needs to be upgraded due to changes in cellular network parameters; or
    g) the defect was caused by the fact that the Product was used with or connected to an accessory not approved or provided by HTC or used in other than its intended use and where it can be shown by HTC that such defect is not the fault of the Product itself; or
    h) the bootloader is unlocked by the Customer (allowing third party OS installation) using the fastboot program.

    Reading through the HTC Desire warranty statement I see the entire statement is the exact same barr the fact it's missing Article 7 Section H (The line in bold)


    Good news for Desire owners then!

    Paul @ MoDaCo has already gotten root access as early as the first of April. It's just that he went on holiday and has been stuck because of the ash and disruption. He said he will be back this week according to his twitter so a root will come soon I think.
