Naw... the best news is that if the Desire is "backflipped" you can always get the unlocked Nexus One (AT&T version) which is 99% the same.  The biggest difference that I can see is that the Desire comes with an optical mouse and the Sense UI.  The Nexus One comes with a rollerball mouse and the default UI. 

I've read that someone has ported Sense to the Motorola Droid already.  

Oh, and in related news, SanDisc just announced a 32GB Micro SDHC card ($199est).  This card can go into the Desire/Nexus One.
