Just got one myself. Go check out ... http://androidforums.com/ ..., more particularly ... http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-hd/
Got Angry Birds myself. Great that it's free on Android and *others* have to pay .... My lad loves it anyway.
Get 3G Watchdog to keep track of your data usage, and make sure you check out all apps. already loaded for how often they connect to the interwebbie thing. It can add up very quickly! I set mine to have wifi on all the time. If I'm at home it automatically uses this but when I go out of range it switches to 3G/2G/whatever. (Uses the fastest on by default).
Other than that, I'm just getting used to what the default stuff does before I download loads of stuff.
How are you finding it so far?

Barely had to play with it so far, going to charge it over night to give the battery a good start. Big leap from the blackberry and the touch screen is completely new to me, I've also set Wifi up for when i'm at home.

The Desire HD has Tomtom maps loaded by default so you don't have to pull them down everytime you use them. You can then use either, Google navigation with them for free, except for any data usage or, pay for the Tomtom navigation upgrade. Not tested it out much yet but the Google nav. works.

The android market doesn'thave many good games but other developers have them I got Asphalt 5 for free from Samsung and NOVA and Operation Sandstorm are really good. I downloaded a few emulators from the market then added a few thousand Roms to my phone so I wasn't short of games

The proximity sensors dont work,so when you phone someone the screen goes blank and the phone freezes.If you get an answering maching the only way of stopping the call is to take the battery out.
