Telstra has rolled out the update 2 weeks ago.
I updated my sisters Desire with the OTA update on the weekend.
They have even more bloatware and crap on them now >.<
All the more reason to root

This is exactly why you have rooting/modding guides, e.g. T-mod/Cyanogen to get Froyo on the Telstra desire using a radio rom that allows you to utilise the next-g network.

Quite sure that this can only be done once the phone has been rooted, but once you have rooted the phone you can run it underclocked all the time, some people have reported that the phone isn't too slow to use.
Desire/Desire HD is an amazing phone, especially once you link it up to a google mail account.
